take A levels or STPM if you want to go to University of British Columbia. It's a great university! smile.gif

what else do they require besides Alevel results? Do they need TOEFL/SAT?

Well, Unis that I currently have in mind are MCGILL University, University of BRITISH COLUMBIA, University of TORONTO and University of ALBERTA. Since u mentioned UBC i think I shall check that out first =)

When does application usually start for Canadian Unis? I'm currently doing my alevels, graduating next year June.

The application usually starts around Sept/Oct for Fall 2010.
If u do have prelim results U could apply this yr for next yr.

if cost is a concern. Mcgill/Alberta maybe is the cheapest today of your list.
there is a neat Alberta thread with good info
BTW whats your intended major?

here's req

thank you so much! =) hm. I intend to do Finance&Accounting/Banking. somewhere along there smile.gif
I've got a ques, is it better to apply this Oct using forecast results? or should I wait till next year when I've completed Alevels? 'cause from what I saw from UBC's website (the important dates section), if i were to start applying this Oct, I'll be kinda busy with applications & etc till next year May/June, I'm afraid that handling all these matters will take up quite abit of time when I'm supposed to be busy studying.

pretty much depends on how eager U wanna get into Uni.
should U think your forecast results is decent, U can do so.
or wait until the A level results are release to do so.
or if don't mind starting in 2012 that should be fine. During the 1yr+ gap U can work or just hang and enjoy life!

U meant this? why would U be busy with applications & etc till next yr May June?
whats there are the deadline for different paper work.
if U can do so altogether U can be done in 2weeks!

anyway, UBC-Sauder kinda only allow single major its either Finance or Accounting. The system somehow "forbid" ppl who wish to do double major. U could but it would take extra 1 to 2 terms.

Mcgill - Desautels do allow double major, so U could take both Finance and Accounting and be done in the same time.
some ppl wanted Desautels bcoz of the new Honors in IB program which they admit about 10 ppl each yr.

Oh ok. So let's say if I major in Accounting in UBC-Sauder, do I get any exemptions for ACCA?
And are students allowed to work part-time while studying in Canada? What about upon completion of degree studies, can I continue staying in Canada to work?
