Hi, I'm currently studying A-Level locally but still unsure which country to go for my university studies. I only know of the Australian and UK universities, eg entry requirement, fees, living cost, etc and I'm new to Canadian education system.

Do Canadian universities have any entrance exam like SAT or I can enroll with my A Level?

Are Bachelor degrees in Canada 3 years like UK or 4 years like Australia (including Honours)?

Compare Canada to Australia (RM100k-130k) and UK (RM90k-110k), is it cheaper to go to Canada to study?

Any education agent in Malaysia that I can consult about studying in Canada?

Thanks very much. Any extra information are welcomed.

p/s: Just curious, why Malaysian tend to go to Australia and UK and not Canada for university studies?

Anyone know which education agent that I can approach if I want consultant? Or do I have to do the registration etc by myself?

A level U do get some credits transfer if U go USA. FYI Uni such as UMN is at ~ US$15K in tuition, BYU only cost ~US$9K a yr and Berea college ~US$3K.

anyway, back to Canada.. there was CEC malaysia not sure if they still exist.  some one told me the office in Singapore close, canada is just too unpopular.

what is your intended major? FYI unlike UK/OZ Law, Medicine are post grad degree..

RM130k in OZ or AUD$40k+ was that per yr?
Canada would cost ~80k to 110K on avg..

why OZ? near, in the past easy to get job and PR. Canada also getting easier today.
like segamatboy said, everyone impression is its COLD! few ppl from this region enjoy COLD.
on top of that many 2+1 kind of program for OZ.

I'm looking into actuarial science or chemistry. I'm looking at Canada universities because I realised that they might be much cheaper than Australia which is now close to RM120-150k. Furthermore, a few Canadian universities have higher world ranking than Australian universities.

Apparently the CEC in KL is closed I think, I tried calling them but the line has been cut.

Looking at the world map, Canadian biggest cities (Vancover, Montreal, Toronto) are at the same latitute as London, I didn't study geography, but are Canadian cities really colder than UK?

About ADP credit transfer, Canadian and US universities do 4 years bachelor program which come after pre-U, why ADP credit transfer in Inti/Taylor/HELP can be done after SPM and only for 4 years (ie 1 year faster than studying a year of pre-U then enter university)?

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.......
