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

I agree with that. A highly ranked school doesn't mean one will be better off. I think I would have benefited more if I went to a small LAC in the US.

The authorities must have a good reason to turn people away.

Turning Canadian citizens away sounds a bit far fetched but then again, if one looks like a terrorist or if one can't speak English at all, it wouldn't be surprising for them to be refused entry. You do know that there are a lot of "Canadians' who can't speak English right?

Reminds me of my time.

Brace for one crazy journey to Halifax. KL>HK>Vancouver>Halifax or something like that.

Have you been asked to do the medical checkup? If you have, then you shouldn't worry too much. You will be done by mid-august. Meanwhile, go book your tickets. I am guessing that classes start on the first week of september. Try to get there a week before class starts. You won't want to miss out on the pre-term activities.


Peut-être. Il pourrait être facile ou difficile.

All it takes is discipline. It is possible to learn french for two years and apply to immigrate to Quebec but two years is a long time, you have to be determined to stay on track.

If you can do that, your masters will be very affordable. Montreal is a very cheap city to live in. The fees would be like $4K+ a year(barring McGill Desautels) and the living costs can be as low as $700 a month. UdeM, McGill and HEC Montreal offer programs that you may like.

Bonne chance.

The only affordable non-via US choices are AC And CX for the pacific route. Though CX is a little pricey.

Flying over the atlantic is too expensive.

MSL travel has student fares. Flying via US is cheaper than everything else(you must get your visa). About RM5k one year return. The journey will be long, penang/KL>Singapore>tokyo>chicago/washington/detroit>halifax

Frosh, orientation. Even if you don't drink, there are lotsa things to do. Nope. Haven't been to Nova Scotia.

Then you really kantoi.

If you are adventurous and lucky. You can book airasia to london. From there, there are many carriers that fly to halifax. Try expedia or travelocity. To be safe, stay around london for 1-2 nights so that will definitely be able to make the connection.

Icelandair is usually cheaper.

You might be able to save at least RM1k+ by doing so.

Did they tell you that that was the reason of rejection? Or you guess that it was because of it?

Nope.......not even in Quebec. The exception is if you study in a francophone school, then you have to...duh....You can choose to take french courses and some schools offer rebates for french courses.

CEC is closed.

Of the 3 cities, Vancouver has the best weather. That is because, Vancouver is a coastal city, its climate is moderated by the sea. Montreal and Toronto are way inland. If you remember your form 2 geography, land retains and loses heat faster than the sea. So come summer, it can get really hot......35 or so hotter than malaysia. In winter, the temperature drops more than any temperate country in Europe. The prairies have the most extreme weather, 40 in the peak of summer, -30 or more during the cold months of winter. Julat suhu=70. That is why Toronto has a relatively better climate than Montreal, Lake Ontario is just off Toronto. Also consider, Stockholm and Helsinki, they are further north than those Canadian cities, but the coldest that they get is like -10. Why? Coastal cities.......

So how is physics?


I earned a lot of monaies from working on campus......but it is not enough to pay for everything despite what dreamer101 might say. The extra dosh is nice to have.......i earn like.......1.7k a year from doing it.....can buy wii, can buy clothes, can buy booze, can go and see (.)(.)......very nais....

You'll probably be happier doing psych........Is the drinking age in Nova Scotia 18 too? It's 19 in Ontario and 18 in Quebec.

Small town but nevertheless, it's gonna be the best time of your life. Study hard but don't forget to party harder too. You're in psych, it shouldn't be that hard and there will be more girls in your program. So work on it...........

feel jeles and nostalgic leh.......

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.

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?

Do it on your own. All information that you need is on that website. Presently, you have the choice to submit a a paper or an online application.

You are targeting winter 2017 entry?

Of course, term has already started in all Canadian schools. To be in this term, you should have received your offer back in May.

You should be able to get your study permit within 2 months if there are no complications to your application. E.g. they don't doubt the authenticity of your support documents, you have no medical problems and if your profile doesn't appear on a terror watch list.

For most people, it's a straightforward process.

If you want really cheap fees....go to Newfoundland.....there's nothing there but you pay low fees. Like less than $10k for the whole master's.

I'm not sure how the PNP differs from one province to another. Some could allow you to study in one province then apply for the PNP of another, or the province that you study is the province that you qualify.

No it is not, it's up to you really. I would focus on cost and PNP requirements first and foremost.

Good.

Once you make it to Alberta, start deliberating what your options are. The system is varied and depending on your circumstances different classes of immigration program would apply to you.

You are not tied down by UPM in anyway right?
