I'm so sad...Born in canada...living in kedah...and got 4 credits in SPM..
haiz...i cant go back to my birthplace..

why cannot? can always go back to do high school or those technical college.
eg
- Camosun
- North Island
- Selkirk
etc

You can if you claim your birthright. Who said you can't return? All you need is pre-u.

@feynman my result said so not me...

how can i go back actually so study there ?

do they have to check my 1119/gce o?

Just do a pre-u.....CPU, SAM, A-level.

Those require 5 credits ^^" he got only 4.With 4 credits he mostly can only go for diploma programs in Malaysia.Maybe can go for STPM and score well to gain entry into Canada unis.

For many colleges, as long as one can pay, one will get in.

thats true! its not a must to go to Uni inorder to return to canada.
there are colleges that teach cooking, I doubt they care much of one's grades.

Why is it that US colleges require recommendation letters, co-curricular activities, essays and all that, but all i need to do to apply for a Canadian Uni is to fill up one simple form and submit my transcripts? So they make admission decisions solely based on academics?

Is it possible for an AUP student to transfer to Canada Uni? Will it be hard to enter so called high ranking uni through transferring credits from a local college such as INTI?

it'll be hard to transfer into any world top Universities with AUP ^^
Go through something like A-Level,IB,SAM or CPU if you want to try for high ranking Universities.

I am going to starts my AUP course soon....
The higher the ranking, the more my dad needs to pay for the tuition fee...
Anyway I don't think I am good enough to be able to enter those renowned uni...
A medium ranking uni might suits me more =) Don't dare to imagine if I could enter those renowned uni...
Is Uni of Alberta okay with its engineering course? I have checked those ranking and I found that it is one of them and the tuition fee is much cheaper...

Uni of Alberta is pretty renowned with its engineering course.
you should try getting into top unis first, finance comes second.

Aiyooo, typical "Malusian" mentality.Ranking ranking ranking. Why don't you check where Singapore Auditor General ,Mr Lim Soo Ping got his bachelor degree from?? Also check where Mr Su Guaning, NTU's head honcho got his bachelor degree from?? Back then when they entered university, the university was unknown to Malaysians or Singaporeans. Back then most students went to UK and Australia
Is Uni of Alberta okay with its engineering course? Petronas did sent some students there some years ago. A few years ago, read the Star where some malay students talked about living in Edmonton. They got stuck in their house because the door got stuck in minus 30s weather. They were sponsored by Petronas
U of A Chem and Petroleum programs are amongst the best in the world. Alberta has the world biggest deposit of heavy oil(google Alberta Tar sand deposit if you want to know more)The heavy oil is mined and upgrade to synthetic crude oil and the SCO is premium crude.

Ranking is the proof of the quality of one Uni so that's why it is the first thing I look for before making any decision. Not to emphasize I desire to enter a top ranking uni but just to ensure the uni I will enter is not a lousy uni because there are a lot lousy uni out there. Am I right? ^^

by the way which ranking are U following?
there are QS/THES and ARWU, looked at their methodology closely? does it make sense to u?

I know they are all different but there is no way to see which uni is on the top. Just take their average and the fields that the unis are specializing in. And of course the comments of you all are important.

Fyi... previous UofA presidents Davenport and Fraser did not give a damn about rankings. We do things our way and those who wanted to rank the university can take a hike. The current president, Indira Sama (whatever the name) is trying to steer the university to meet the ranking criteria
Fyi again, Davenport left UofA to become the president of Western (UWO). He retired last year and was succeed by Amit Chakma. Amit first goal is to made UWO as one of the top 100 university in the world

how about Medicine course in Canada? So far from the unis website I checked, there's no seat for international students.
Anyone here studying medicine in Canada? mind to share your pathway entering the uni?
thanks

@lovelysky
I think there's quite a Malaysian community in Dalhousie University doing medicine. Most of them are from IMU. Do check out their website
