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?

Yes, it is possible for an American University Program (AUP) student to transfer to a Canadian University. I'm from INTI college and two of my friends have been accepted into University of Waterloo. INTI college has about 14 partnerships with Canadian U.

Btw, I'm planning to transfer to U of Waterloo as well and I've checked from the website that the weather there is approximately 0 to -20 during winter. The problem is I haven't been to any country that cold before since I was a small kid and I've got sinusitis. My dad doesn't encourage me to go because he's afraid that I can't withstand the temperature and eventually decide to come back later. What do you guys think? I personally think that it'll be alright since I'm going there to study instead for a vacation and almost everywhere I'll be going has heater around. Any of you guys have problem with the cold?

U are not spending time sleeping outside at nite. U're not taking your classes outside too. All the rooms are heated.
the amount of time U stay out is infact very little. A little cold isn't a problem at all.
U must be super pampered to crawl home under such weather conditions.
I am living in places as cold as waterloo, with wind chill its can easily hit -30C in the day. on the worst days it can hit -40C or lower, its painful if I am waiting at the bus stop for a bus. I do have a choice to stay at home and not endure the harsh weather

I've only seen 1 dude coming home from Calagry after a yr, another adjusted to the weather so well in Minnesota that he wore only t-shirt and slippers outside even when its snowing!

Yea, I'm aware of that. Just hope that my sinusitis wouldn't give much trouble during the interviews because I'm going for the co-op program.

May I request whether the credits will be fully or partially transfer to the Uni in Canada?
Does there has a skill to choose what course to study in INTI?
I'm afraid some of the courses I choose in the future will be hardly to transfer its credits to another Uni.

Regarding the credit transfers, I'd advise you to check with the Uni. A better way is to come to INTI College and check which subjects are transferable to the U that you're planning to go. There are tons of files in the Center for American Education (CAE) at INTI, just choose the ones that you have in mind and check the subjects accepted. Alternatively, you can speak with the head of INTI AUP Program (Miss Terrie). Yea, some subjects might not be transferable at all to another university, that's why AUP advisers always advice their students to decide on the U that they want to go by the second or third semester.

So that's what I have to do during the enrollment right?

Not exactly, but you can do it during your enrollment if you want. Next semester is a short semester, so you'll be taking only 2 common subjects. My first guess is ENL 101 (English) and another common subject which are transferable to all Uni. So do not worry about it first, but it's always good to check early if you have a few U in mind now.
