In recent years, Canada has been a hot spot for China students to study abroad. According to rough statistics, there were nearly 20,000 China students who applied to study in Canada last year. According to the 60% visa pass rate, the number of people studying in Canada is still considerable. Although a considerable number of international students study in Canada every year, they apply to study in Canada every year because they don't know much about the education situation and the requirements for studying abroad.
In this process, there are always many people taking detours. A few days ago, the reporter interviewed Mr. Ye Yusheng, an expert who stayed in Canada, and asked Mr. Ye to give detailed guidance on the problems in the application process of staying in Canada, so as to give a useful reference to the majority of students who stayed in Canada.
Is it feasible to apply for Canadian undergraduate course after graduation?
Are there any domestic university graduates who apply for undergraduate courses in Canada? Mr. Ye has encountered many such situations. Is it feasible? Mr. Ye believes that different situations should be treated differently.
In the same major, apply for Canadian undergraduate after graduating from domestic undergraduate. Teacher Ye thinks this is not desirable: first, how do you explain the purpose of doing this, that is, how do you ensure the rationality and feasibility of your study plan; Second, does the school you applied for accept it? Some schools in Canada explicitly do not accept such applicants. Third, how to pass the visa, so the success rate of those who do this is very low.
Graduated from domestic undergraduate course, changed major, and applied for Canadian undergraduate course. A student graduated from a non-computer major in China and applied for the computer major of the famous University of Waterloo in Canada. Under the guidance of experts, due to the design of a reasonable study plan, the student was successfully admitted to Waterloo and successfully obtained a visa. A domestic business graduate successfully applied for a bachelor's degree in business computer science in Canada; There are many such cases. Teacher Ye analyzed that because it is very difficult for domestic higher education to change majors, many students have studied majors that they don't like or have poor employment prospects. After graduation, it is understandable that they want to change their favorite major or have better employment prospects in the future. However, it is necessary to explain the rationality and feasibility of doing so in the application process in order to succeed.
The refusal rate of junior and senior majors is high.
Students who have studied in China for three or four years are much more likely to be rejected if they switch to a major far from their original major when applying for studying abroad. Teacher Ye analyzed that you gave up your major in China for two or three years. When I arrive in Canada, I will start a new major as a freshman. If you can't fully explain the reason and purpose of doing so, it is easy to be rejected, because such a study plan is obviously unreasonable. Of course, many people will succeed if their study plans are made properly. There was once a student majoring in biology in a famous university in China, and his academic performance was excellent, with a TOEFL score of more than 580. With the help of Mr. Ye, I successfully applied for the computer major of the University of Waterloo, and transferred credits for one and a half years.
Students who study in Canada after Grade Two can apply for credit transfer regardless of whether they change their major. Teacher Ye said that the transfer of credits should be carried out after the students arrive at the study abroad school. Students should provide the school with detailed information such as credits, hours, grades and course descriptions. In the past, the school transferred credits after evaluation. Sometimes, schools will have to conduct interviews or written tests.
For junior and senior students who want to change their major, in addition to making a reasonable explanation for their study plan, Teacher Ye suggested that there is a safe and feasible way, that is, apply for the same major as their previous major first, and then change their major at school after getting a visa, because it is easier to change majors abroad and transfer credits at the same time. Because it is difficult to change majors in China, and the general students and parents don't know much about changing majors abroad, many people can't think of doing so.
Freshmen have the most advantages in studying abroad.
Teacher Ye believes that from the requirements of applying for schools and visas, it is the most advantageous for freshmen to apply for Canadian undergraduate courses.
The Canadian government believes that freshmen over 18 can be regarded as a mature and independent group, and they have enough self-care ability. At the same time, they all passed the college entrance examination in China, and they are truly excellent students. At present, more and more Canadian schools have begun to require students to provide college entrance examination results. Moreover, for freshmen, no matter whether they change their major or not, it is easy for them to apply for studying abroad.
It is best not to try to study abroad before graduating from high school.
The Canadian government clearly said "no" to small international students. As can be seen from the success rate of visas in recent years, according to the figures released last year, the success rate of applying for primary and secondary schools in Canada is 45%; The success rate of junior college and college preparatory course is 65%; The success rate of undergraduate application is 80%. This phenomenon is probably due to the fact that the more advanced the courses that international students study in Canada, the shorter the time they study in Canada, so the amount of guarantee is low, so the greater the chance of being approved. According to relevant officials, the embassy will not easily approve the applications of students who have not graduated from high school, mainly because these students need to study longer in Canada than those who have graduated from high school, so they need stronger financial support. At the same time, if small international students can't successfully enter Canadian universities to complete their studies, it will cause social problems in Canada, so the visa refusal rate is high. Therefore, no matter from the Canadian policy or the conditions of international students themselves, Mr. Ye thinks that studying abroad after graduating from high school is the best choice.
Of course, senior three students don't have to wait until after graduation to apply for studying abroad. You can start applying in the third year of high school. For example, if they want to enroll in Canadian undergraduate courses in September next year, they should start applying in June 5438+next year 10. According to the current study abroad process: it takes two months to apply for a school and three to four months to apply for a visa. You will get the final grade in July and August next year, and you won't delay taking the college entrance examination.
