Program overview
The first two years of a mechanical engineering degree, covering mathematics, physics, statics and dynamics, thermodynamics, materials and engineering design fundamentals.
The mechanical engineering transfer route delivers the first half of an engineering degree that is completed elsewhere. Years one and two run at Cape Breton University, years three and four at the partner university in Halifax, and the engineering degree in mechanical engineering is awarded there. Because the credential finishes at another institution, the mechanical engineering diploma on its own does not carry post study work standing, and Apply Study Visa maps the full multi institution plan, including the second study permit stage, before any deposit is paid.
University Diploma in Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Transfer Route is a non degree credential, which means work permit standing is not automatic and depends on the field of study rules in force at the time of application. Undergraduate study such as University Diploma in Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Transfer Route does not carry spousal open work permit eligibility under the rules now in force, which married applicants should factor in from the start. Every work permit decision rests with Canadian immigration authorities, and Apply Study Visa confirms the position for University Diploma in Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Transfer Route in writing before you pay any deposit.
