Program overview

A sixteen month master’s degree in digital marketing strategy and execution, covering search and social channels, marketing analytics and attribution, content strategy, e-commerce and campaign management.

A master’s in this field is unusual, since most digital marketing training sits at certificate level, and the advantage is that a degree level credential carries immigration standing that short courses do not. Apply Study Visa counsellors regularly recommend it to applicants who want marketing without the work permit restrictions attached to college business programmes.

As a degree level award, Master of Digital Marketing carries no field of study restriction, which removes the CIP code check that non degree applicants must complete. At sixteen months or longer, Master of Digital Marketing also sits in the category that remains eligible for a spousal open work permit, which is worth settling before you plan family finances. Every work permit decision rests with Canadian immigration authorities, and Apply Study Visa confirms the position for Master of Digital Marketing in writing before you pay any deposit.

Candidates present 4-Year Bachelor’s Degree with 68 percent, plus IELTS 6.5 overall with no band below 6 for Master of Digital Marketing. Tuition for Master of Digital Marketing is recorded at CAD 25,328 for the year, with a CAD 80 application fee, and the programme runs a single September start each cycle. Apply Study Visa handles the Master of Digital Marketing application, the attestation letter, the deposit and the study permit as one process.
