I got accepted into 2 university in Canada

Wow that's great. Congratulations friend. You seem to have a lot of drive and determination, so I'm sure you'll do just. Congrats again :)

Congratulations, silverfox! Wow! 2 Universities accepted you? That is really great! am so happy for you!

Canada's a very big place. Which province are you going to? If you are coming from Jamaica, are you coming in the summer? If so, make sure you are prepared for the cold. When you come here in the summer, the fall can be a big shock. I know a young man who came here from Barbados, and he was telling me how cold he found it, and this was only in October!!! I was very concerned for him, cause it isn't cold here in October! At least not from my perspective. This is his second year at our local university, and he is much more comfortable. He knows what to expect and he's ok with it now. But he can go home when he's done, we're still stuck here year round!

Congrats! Which universities? I know international tuition can be very expensive about 3 -4 x the amount we pay, but makes sense as international students are taking up the spots from us who are from the country, so they need to pay more as they don't pay taxes to the country whereas we do. Also, remember you cannot legally work in Canada as an international student, they have sometimes jobs on campus for international students but only a handful for the hundreds of international students.

Nice move you can do it as long as you have the will to do it. Mixed culture is very advisable today our earth getting smaller let us be aware of another classroom what is the different? and what to learn?

Wow that's amazing lol! I've thought about studying abroad, but I never have the courage to make the choice! It's a fantastic opportunity for one to experience exotic scenery, habits, people, etc. It's also good for one's mental and academic development! My classmates bacome very independent and industrious after going abroad, and I'm very proud of them. So I hope you can seize the chance and make the best of it lol!

Wow congratulation it is not easy to be accepted in two schools and yet it's outside your country. My daughter is going to college too and she still don't have plans where to take it. Well good luck and have a nice future ahead.

That would be a great opportunity for you and your family in the future. Several of Filipinos studied and work in Canada. It's very hard to apply for having student visa. In your case, wow! how I wish I can work and live in Canada.

That's very courageous of you, silverfox09. That's a great opportunity for you to be studying in another country. It's something that was suggested to me before but I don't really like the thought of furthering my studies or proceeding to get my Masters.

Yes, being an international student can be expensive. There is often limited funding for international students as well. There can be significant additional living expenses for international students (i.e., needing a new wardrobe due to going to a significantly colder country), and you will also lack the sort of community connections that you may have had in your home country--which may also lead you to end up spending more money. Hopefully, you have done your research regarding the area in which you will be studying and living during the next several years. I remember international students at my undergrad college who really did not know what they were getting themselves into when they chose to come to the U.S.

good day silverfox09, as i have read your post, i can really say that your happiness is really that high. well, congratulations for that award. you were able to hit your goal in that matter. how i just wish that i can also hit my target. and someday i got a chance to post here, i got accepted in the job that i am longing to have, wow, i am excited for that day to happen . more success for us.

Well, I'm happy for you, and for me the most sincere wishes for a happy stay in Canada. And above all, you get 100% in your goal to study and work. I suppose I believe that in the beginning you will find a little hard, the environment, labor, etc., but I'm sure you get used to it and you will succeed in the best way. After all, if you have accepted, it means that place you deserve it!

its really great ,make use of the time and enjoy the moment in canada and what exams you cleared for it

congrats silverfox, we're happy for your achievements... more power and keep on shining in canada...
