What materials do I need to apply for studying in Canada?
I. Application materials for attending high school
1, report card
The application procedure for public high schools in Canada is not complicated. Freshmen usually enter school in autumn. Although the deadline for application is May, the number of places in our middle school will soon be full, so the earlier you apply, the better. When applying, you need to provide the transcripts of the last two years and list all the subjects you have studied (including politics, sports, etc. ). One copy of Chinese and one copy of English need the seal of the school. You can fill in three favorite schools when applying. But if there are no places in these schools, the Education Bureau will designate other schools for you.
In principle, public schools can be applied by students themselves, not necessarily through study abroad agents. But each school has different characteristics. If the applicant doesn't know anything about the schools under the Education Bureau, asking the Education Bureau to designate a school may not necessarily lead to the one that suits him best. Besides, it is not easy for applicants to find a reliable guardian and a suitable host family in China. Therefore, at the time of application, without the assistance of friends who are familiar with the local situation, entrust some reliable intermediaries to act as agents.
2. Visa
After examining the application, the Education Bureau will issue a formal admission notice. Applicants can apply for a student visa at the Canadian Consulate in China. After reporting to the Education Bureau, they will have a test to find out the students' English and math level. Students who are not proficient in English should make up English (ESL) for a while while studying other courses.
3. Guardian's power of attorney
/kloc-international students under the age of 0/8 need a guardian to study in Canada. The guardian must be a Canadian citizen who lives near the school. Parents of students must provide notarized guardian's power of attorney. The guardian must also be notarized and bear relevant legal responsibilities. You need to find a homestay near the school after entering school. Is an English-speaking family, creating a good English environment.
The application of private high schools in Canada is somewhat different from that of public high schools. To apply for a public high school, you need to submit an application to the public education bureau of the school in advance. After receiving the admission notice, it can be allocated by the public education bureau according to the school quota. If the places are full, the public education bureau can arrange for admission to other public schools. Private schools can apply directly to the school, as long as the conditions are suitable, you can apply for your favorite school. Schools usually start in September (some schools start in February). Generally, there is no clear deadline, and all places can be applied, so the application time is more flexible.
Two. List of application materials for undergraduate study abroad
1. Canadian undergraduate application materials-various grades
1) high school average.
As we all know, there are great differences in high school education at home and abroad. Whether you are an international student who graduated from a Canadian high school or a domestic high school, Canadian universities will review the results of high schools. Generally speaking, undergraduate courses in Canadian universities have higher requirements for domestic high school graduates, with an average score of 80. Some better universities, such as the University of Toronto and the University of British Columbia, are among the top universities in the world 100, and require students to get an average score of 85 or above. For students who graduated from high schools in Canada, Canadian universities are relatively more recognized by the student education system, so the requirements are relatively loose, but they also need excellent grades.
2) English language achievement
Canada is a bilingual teaching country, and recruiting foreign students also requires students to have corresponding language skills. The IELTS score required by Canadian universities for students is usually 6.5-7 (no less than 6.0 in a single subject), and the minimum IELTS score when applying for undergraduate or master's degree in Canada is 5.0. Here, Yunxue Education Technology Group reminds everyone that not all Canadian universities offer dual admission. Before applying to Canada, students need to know which universities offer dual admission programs in order to make targeted applications.
For the requirements of TOEFL scores, students generally need to reach 80 to 100, but in order to increase the possibility of admission, I suggest that you must choose the best among the best and get a good TOEFL test.
2. Canadian undergraduate application materials-documents
In the North American education system attached to Canadian universities, grades don't mean everything to students. Language scores and high school average are only the basic conditions for applying for Canadian undergraduate courses, and they may not be accepted by Canadian universities. Another influencing factor is the soft power background and documentary materials of students.
In terms of paperwork, it is nothing more than general report cards, TOEFL IELTS test reports, resumes, personal statements and so on. The focus of official document writing is not only to write one's own personal ability, but more importantly, how to write it truly and moving, which involves grasping the official document material. A good document is not a straightforward description, but how to connect these real experiences into a touching event. Everyone's actual situation is different, so it is necessary to set out their own application reasons, shortcomings, performance in the face of difficulties and solutions.
3. Canadian undergraduate application materials-soft power
In the promotion of soft power background, students need to have corresponding experience as the support of their application, such as combining their interests with what they have done in practice to show their love for their major, or participating in some big competitions, etc. These are favorable conditions for improving one's physical competitiveness.
Applying is not only a process close to dreams, but also a bumpy experience. Every student with dreams needs to make plans early and make targeted preparations.
Third, the application materials for graduate students studying abroad
1. transcript
2. Letter of recommendation
3. English resume of the applicant
4. Personal statement
5. English test scores
6. proof of study (if you haven't graduated and been admitted at the time of application, the school will ask you to provide a copy of your graduation certificate)
7. If you apply for liberal arts graduate students, some schools will also ask for writing samples.
The main advantages of studying in Canada
Advantage 1: Studying in Canada is cheap and cost-effective.
The tuition fees charged by Canadian schools each academic year depend on many factors, such as the province where the university is located, its geographical location, its reputation, and its major. Take the undergraduate course as an example: the annual tuition and living expenses for studying abroad in Canada are about 6.5438+0.5 million, in Britain about 250,000, in the United States (public) about 2.65438+0.000, and in Australia about 300,000.
Advantage 2: The overall quality of education in Canada is high.
Canada belongs to the North American education system and is recognized as a quality education system in the world. All universities in Canada are public, and most colleges are public. At the same time, Canada is very strict in the quality management of university education, and it is a country that stresses credibility. Therefore, the Canadian diploma is highly recognized. In addition, many universities in Canada offer language courses, which provide convenience for students who have poor language performance or have no time to test their language performance.
Advantage 3: Practical study abroad, with a 3-year work visa.
Now if you get a college diploma or above in Canada, you can get a three-year work visa, and you can apply for an experienced immigrant after three years of work for one year. Compared with other big countries studying abroad, this policy of Canada is undoubtedly the most powerful. Students have plenty of time to think about whether they will stay, whether they are suitable for this country and so on.
Advantage 4: study abroad and immigration environment
Canada has a population of only 3,765,438+million, but its land area is the whole of China plus five Hebei provinces. The natural resources owned by the whole country rank among the top in the world. Because of its vast territory and abundant resources, Canada's national policy is to encourage overseas students to emigrate. Generally speaking, it takes 4-5 years to apply for skilled immigration outside Canada, but there is a very loose immigration policy for international students in China, and you can get your status in 6- 12 months. Recently, provinces have introduced provincial nomination policies, so that students can apply for skilled immigrants without work experience after graduation.
How to choose courses for freshmen studying in Canada
1, know the requirements in advance.
Before you choose a course, you can log on to the school website and find the page of elective courses in your major. There will be a detailed introduction. You can clearly guide the main contents of the course and the training objectives of the major, and you can have a general learning outline.
In this way, we can determine the courses according to our future plans, because different courses have different emphases, and there is a certain degree of convergence between courses, which will be more helpful for everyone's future study, so don't worry about missing some courses.
2. Pay attention to the order of course selection
We must determine the course according to everyone's ability and progress. At the beginning of freshmen's enrollment, everyone is still unfamiliar with the teaching model in Canada. At this time, don't choose the difficult professional courses directly, but start from the basic courses and let yourself adapt slowly.
And everyone should arrange the contents of the professional courses they want to choose, because they will be related. If you don't arrange in advance, it may delay their follow-up study, so be sure to confirm the order to ensure their learning integrity.
3, understand the evaluation model
The final assessment is also what everyone should know. It is very important to be interested and helpful in learning, and the difficulty and method of assessment are also very important. If the card is very strict, then it is not easy for everyone to pass, and it takes a lot of time.
At present, the popular methods are paper examination and paper writing. Some courses will also be arranged in the form of classroom demonstrations and questions and answers, which will delay time and make it difficult to get high marks, so prepare in advance.
4. Pay attention to the course selection time
Moreover, the time node must be well grasped, and the preparation process must be done before the course selection begins, because after the course selection begins, the popular courses will be selected soon, and after everyone knows it, there is basically no better course.
Therefore, everyone's hardware preparation must be done well, and the computer website should also be checked to ensure that there will be no problems. Before starting, we should refresh the web page to ensure that they can enter the website smoothly and start choosing courses.
