Hello Sushma!

Firstly, let's see what are the minimum requirements to be eligible for pursuing post graduation in a good Canadian University (as an international student from India) :-

i) 3-4 years bachelor's degree in the respective course with atleast 75% and above.
ii) Proficiency in English language (IELTS, TOEFL, CAEL or PTE).
iii) A good GRE score ( minimum 300+)

Now, coming back to your question - YES, some of the universities in Canada offer M.Sc. in Psychology to students with a 3 years Bachelor's degree in Psychology. I've checked the eligibility for Indian international students in University of Lethbridge's (Alberta, Canada) site.

Now, a few colleges offering you M.Sc. in Psychology without a PG diploma course in Canada are:-

1) University of Lethbridge, Alberta
World Ranking : 1278th (in 2020)
National Ranking - 33rd ( in 2020)

2) TRENT University
National Ranking - 32nd (in 2019)
Fees (INR) : Approx. Rs 11,38,033/- p. a.

3) McMaster University
World Ranking : 72nd (in 2020)
National Ranking : 4th (2020)

4) University of Northern British Columbia
World Ranking : 801-1000th (in 2020)
National Ranking : 29th (in 2020)

5) University of Alberta
World Ranking : 136th (in 2020)
National Ranking: 6th (in 2020)
Fees (INR): Approx. Rs 5,06,488/- p. a.

6) Acadia University
Fees (INR) : Approx. Rs 6,73,231/- p. a.

7) Wilfrid Laurier University
World Ranking: 609th
National Ranking : 30th
Fees (INR) : Approx. Rs 10,72,856/-

and some others.

IELTS (6.5+) , TOEFL(80+), CAEL(60+) and PTE(60+) are all some of the accepted tests for proving Proficiency in English language, with their minimum required scores, respectively.

You may be asked by the institutes to hire a supervisor for you to guide you throughout the admission procedure. You may also need letters of recommendations, additionally.

Lastly, what is GRE? Well, it is Graduate Record Exam, with a duration of 3 hours and 45 minutes. Some of the institutions ask for a valid GRE (General) score to consider your admission. You can appear for it five times in a year through online mode.

I hope I've answered most part of your queries.

For any further help, feel free to ask in the comment section.

Hello Aspirant,

Following is the list of basic eligibility criteria for students who want to pursue MS Psychology from Canada:

  • 10+2+4 years of education and a bachelors degree in Psychology or in a related field is mandatory.
  • 75% to 80% in bachelors degree is required for admission to Masters in Psychology in Canada.

If you do not fulfill any of these, its difficult for you to get into MS psychology at Canada.

Good Luck
