Canada

Hi Harsh,
After 12th you can pursue your Diploma / Degree in Canada. But, you will be required to give the IELTS or TOEFl exam. If you score less than the required score, then universities give you admission through a English Language program - what you are referring to as Elly course.
ELICOS - English Language Intensive Courses for Overseas Students is a program that is offered by Australian Universities. Same condition as above applies.
In Canada, scoring less than the required score and going for a English Language program before your intended main program is not seen very favourably from the visa point of view.
So you should try and score well. Usually colleges and universities at UG level require 5.5 - 6.5 depending on the program choice.
Hope this helps.

Hi
I think you have also posted another query, which I just responded to, where in I have asked for few information.
While, Australia and New Zealand have always been at the forefront in this sector. However, mostly at the under graduate vocational Education level.
You will find some good quality Master's program in both Australia and New Zealand, and both country presently have work permit options leading to PR.
Switzerland offers one of the finest choices as far as Hospitality Education is concerned, but may not serve your PR aim.
Canada also offers excellent programs in this field, but with quite a limited choice if you are seeking direct Masters, though good ones. If you are open to PGD programs then the choice will widen.
One advantage that Canada currently has is the favourable immigration policy and programs in this sector that have active internships or Co-op term.
So all the three countries will fit your requirements. So further shortlisting will depend on factor such as Finance, ability to show funds, who is going to be your sponsor, your academic percentage and so on.
Please go through your other question as well, where I have asked for some information to guide you further.

Hi Sharath,
It is difficult to suggest a university without knowing your academic background and percentage. Also some of the Universities require a good GRE score as well.
But to give you a idea about the Universities. You can look for the Universities that offer Electrical and Computer Engineering. Most universities will have modules available within the above MS or MEng program either with Thesis or Non-Thesis.
Some of the Universities that have active research in the VLSI include University of Toronto, Calgary, Windsor, Guelph, Concordia.
You can write to me with detailed profile, so that I can guide you better.

Hi Rupinder,
Depending on the subjects that you have studied in the B.Sc and your comfort level with different areas of Information Technology such as Software, Gaming & Animation, Network & Security, Information Systems or Business Analysis - you can choose a wide variety of PG programs.
If you are good in Maths and / or Statistics, you can also look for program in Data Analysis, which has good scope.
If not Masters, these programs are usually referred to as Post Graduate Certificate / Diploma and mostly offered by colleges.
In Canada, colleges participate in a government program called SPP and if the college you select is a SPP College, then you will only be required to give IELTS (TOEFL will not be accepted).
In general, and IELTS Score of Overall 6 (individual band of 5.5 or more) is recommended. Some programs and colleges may require higher score - namely 6.5.
If the college / university is not under the SPP program, you can also take TOEFL and score equivalent to the above IELTS.
If you share your contact information and your overall academic background at my mail id nithya.kishore@globaledcom.in then I can guide you further.
