So, by now can you differentiate between a 'bluenoser' and a 'caper'

Errrmm, nope. A while back i had to google bluenoser to find out that the name of the convenience store is actually a reference to the locals XD

Haha yeah I don't think many have heard of Dalhousie before. I'm actually studying in IMU, and as you mentioned above, Dal Uni is one of IMU's many partner unis. That's how I came to hear about it Also if I'm not mistaken, right now it's the ONLY Canada Uni that is partnering with IMU. Memorial University used to be the other Canada Uni, but I think it was taken off the list some time ago. I actually have an uncle who used to study in Toronto University and he spoke fondly about his stint there. That's why I'm seriously considering Canada. But he DID mention that some of the locals were pretty unfriendly to him though. Maybe it's just in Toronto since you've not come across such group of people over at Dal

Hmm... Really? I would've expected less discrimination in Toronto, seeing that there's much more diversity over there. I don't see it as a major decision factor though, but that's just me

Diversity doesn't mean less discrimination. Only those who are 'politically correct' believe diversity means less discrimination. The bitter truth is diversity results in more discrimination. We all have our own prejudice. Go to Chinatown and you will see 'reverse discrimination' and is very open. Can't speak the language or read Chinese??? The Chinese merchants will charge higher price.Treat the First Nation people, whites ,non Chinese and the 'bananas' with contempt.
Vietnamese?? Used to work in a factory. Found out ethnic Vietnamese and Vietnamese-Chinese can't stand one another. Also found out the Vietnamese and Chinese dislike their blacks and "Pakis' co workers. One young Punjabi co worker told me that he hated Lebanese.When he was in high school, he and his Indian(Punjabis) friends would picked fights with Lebanese and Arabs after school hours. the list goes on.
Canada mentally insane anti discrimination activists think discrimination are done by whites towards non whites. They won't want to look at the immigrants attitude towards others. The gov't thinks immigrants have the right discriminate others due their cultural difference , upbringing , education level blah blah blah

After considering US, Aus, and UK, I come into considering Canada as one of my postgrad option.

But most universities requires 3 letter of recommendation which is not really easy to obtain since I have graduated from my Uni for over a year and those lecturer can barely remember me.

Which is the better universities offering Engineering in Canada? Prefer a bigger city to live in than a very countryside campus.

em.. i need some suggestion.. Which University good for study Biotechnology in Canada??

If i'm not wrong, letters of recommendation does not necessarily have to come from lecturers. Employers or other professional acquaintances can write them too!

i thought canada have some minimum wage law of around 10/hr? or is that by province?

A level is the English version of STPM. CPU is matriculation version and if i am not mistaken, it is base on Ontario Grade 12 model. A level is just another piece of paper qualification like IB or AP. Only for international students trying to enroll into universities. Can't understand why people are taking A levels or CPU when STPM or even the Chinese UE will do. Some small universities(that offers undergrad degree only) will accept SPM if the grades are good. There are students that enroll into these unis and then transfer to larger better known unis for their final year. Bear in mind there is no guarantee larger well known unis will accept transfer students due to admission 'quota'

If you have the extra money to shell out then anything goes. Also, you don't have to do Ontario grade 12 if you go to other provinces.

Hey guys! Can I know how to Further my studies to Canada with stpm result?

Yes. Almost all of them do

i wants to take an admission in Canadian Universiy in MS civil engineering program. Please let me know the detail i.e (admission Procedure, admission fee, eligibility for admission, bank-statement etc.) or other information which you think might be useful for me. . .

All that you need to know are posted on the respective websites of the universities and on the homepage of the Canadian representation in Malaysia.

Seriously, you guys are expected to be proactive and resourceful. While it might be acceptable to ask questions like these 20 years ago, it not acceptable now when we have google and the internet. What do you use the internet for? XXX only ah?
