There has been a lot of complains from students that they got ripped of by agencies just because the are diploma students.

I was a diploma student too.

Here is Step By Step Application Process for Undergraduate study who has completed DIPLOMA instead of Higher secondary...

Well, let me tell you; the process is actually pretty much similar.

1. As a diploma student we do not study English as much as we should.

So, before you apply, study hard and get a good score in IELTS.

2. Submit applications to universities.

Now, the fact is: A lot of Canadian universities are not familiar with 4 years diploma from Bangladesh. In my case, I told them my diploma is actually equivalent to HSC in my country.

Then, I had to prove it .

I sent THE EDUCATION POLICY 2010 gadget to office of the registrar of MUN to prove the equivalency .

Here is the link for gadget: http://old.moedu.gov.bd/index.php?option=com_docman&task=doc_download&gid=1178&Itemid=

The gadget is in Bengali, I just marked the important lines and they did the translation.

In case if they hadn't checked , I had added wiki link as a backup option. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_Bangladesh

Look at alternative education

Peter gill, Assistant Registrar of Memorial University was satisfied with these resources .

3. The syllabus of diploma is clearly different from HSC.

So, I sent the PDF of the courses I had completed in diploma.

But they asked me for the authentication for the pdf files I sent them.

So. I sent them the link of technical education board syllabus link.

... then the rest of it is as same as the other applications.

Note: Diploma education has nothing to do with visa or embassy.

Best of luck with your application!
