A prospective student compared a Master of Management from Crandall University (Moncton, NB) against an MBA from the University of New Brunswick (UNB), specifically for PR prospects.
What group members shared:- Crandall's program does lead to PGWP eligibility, which was the main point in its favor.
- Multiple members raised reliability concerns about Crandall — describing the intake/admissions process as unpredictable, with no guarantee of which intake you pay for versus which intake you actually study in, and reports of being pressured to defer.
- Prospective and current applicants echoed similar deferral concerns in follow-up replies, suggesting this wasn't an isolated experience.
The practical takeaway: while both programs can lead to a PGWP, weigh Crandall's PGWP eligibility against the reported admissions/deferral reliability concerns raised by multiple members — and ask current students directly about their specific intake experience before committing.
