2. Major study cities in Canada
Vancouver 1
Vancouver is a city of great concern in Canada, and it is also the first intention city of many international students. 10 was rated as one of the top ten cities in the world.
The climate, environment and development level are self-evident, and the convenience of Vancouver's overall life is also loved and praised by international students. Vancouver is a city surrounded by the sea and a garden city. It is known as the Pearl of the West Coast and the second largest Hollywood, attracting a large number of international students.
Vancouver can be the first choice for undergraduate study, but Vancouver is more inclined to master's degree and doctor's degree in immigration policy, and has a clear list of immigration majors.
2. Toronto
The economic center of Canada, located in Ontario, is at the same latitude as Beijing and has four distinct seasons. Climate is relatively accepted by most international students and is the core of Canadian economy and education. The choice of schools is wide, and because of the developed economy, it provides a large number of employment opportunities for international students, and the immigration policy is relatively loose.
3. Montreal
Montreal, known as Paris in the north, is located in Quebec, a romantic city in Canada. Its beautiful lawns and buildings are pleasing to the eye. Montreal is the second richest city in Canada, so there are many employment opportunities. In addition, Quebec's immigration policy is provincial, so the number of places is still relatively abundant.
The fly in the ointment is that everyone is advised to speak French. If you don't reject and dislike learning foreign languages, you will love Montreal.
4. Edmonton
Quebec, one of the four largest cities in Canada, is rich in oil and gas, very rich, vast in territory, rich in natural resources and very developed in economy. The cost of living is much lower than the above three cities, and it is a city with high cost performance for studying abroad.
Because it is high latitude, winter is longer, but because it is rich in oil, indoor heating facilities are perfect, and municipal snow removal is also very good. If you like snow sports and the romance of snowflakes flying in winter, then Edmonton is worth our choice.
3. Guide to Choosing Courses for 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.
4. Accommodation methods for studying in Canada
1. school dormitory/apartment
Most universities in Canada provide accommodation for students, especially freshmen, usually in the form of dormitory apartments and townhouses.
Usually, dormitories on campus are in the form of single rooms or shared rooms, and dormitories on campus generally have supporting furniture and facilities, so bags can be accommodated and the price is not expensive.
In addition, the general school dormitory will also provide students with public entertainment areas, such as lounge, game room or kitchen. Many campus apartments have restaurants, and the rent may include meals.
2. Off-campus accommodation
These schools may provide accommodation for students after the first grade, but many students choose or ask to find "off-campus" apartments near the campus. Finding your own apartment can provide an exciting opportunity to discover a new community, meet new people and find a place that really feels like home to settle down. Maybe it is a challenge to find an apartment off campus, but it is also a meaningful challenge.
Cities in Canada generally have apartments for rent, and houses will appear regularly. In many cases, supply and demand fluctuate seasonally, and large demand often appears in summer. The rental market in small towns may be small, but if you live in a university town or a university town, you will rent out the house no matter how small the demand is. It can be assumed that when other students leave or graduate, there will be vacancies. Most universities and colleges give advice to students, and may have their own internal apartment recommendation lists, so if you have any questions, you can contact the student housing or welfare office.
You can choose to share a house or apartment to share the cost. You can find roommates through online resources, such as simple roommates or roommates. Or you can read newspapers and magazines. Here, you will rent a room and use the kitchen, bathroom and social places. The rent price will vary from city to city, with Calgary, Toronto, Vancouver and other large areas being the most expensive (although on average, it is much cheaper than new york or London). Share suggestions that your monthly off-campus housing budget is around 250-850 Canadian dollars.
3. Host family
Many families in Canada welcome international students. This method is most suitable for students who have just arrived in Canada. Usually, the basic services provided by host families include: a fully furnished independent bedroom; Convenient and comfortable bathroom; Water, electricity, Internet, heating and other facilities; Daily diet [three or two meals] Living in a host family, there is basically no need to go out to buy food and daily necessities.
Guardianship is actually a very important part of the host family, but it is the most neglected part. The difference between homestay families and ordinary rental houses is that the house is mainly responsible for certain guardianship. In BC province, students under 19 must live in a host family, because the law requires that students under 19 must live with their guardians and cannot live outside alone.
