Hi Ben
im at university in england and remeber toying with the idea of trying to transfer to
one in Canada but it was too complicated. Anyway i did have a little read around the
ideas. Basically what you need to do is apply to the university as an international
student. Most Canadian universities have a webpage with info anout this. You may want
to find out wether you need to do this via UCAS but i think as it's international it
is outside and therefore you apply seperatly. If you get a place there then i believe
you need a student visa, which should be easy enough from the UK with a place at a
Canadian university, one of the immigration experts will no doubt tell you how to do
that. One thing you may want to bear in mind is the money, as you'll be outside the
UK Student Loans system and i'm not sure what you would qualify for in Canada, i
think depending on the University there may be ways to borrow student funds for
international students and grants to apply for, that will be no doubt explained by
the university, but it is more expensive for international students. I look at a
course at University of Toronto, whcih is a top university in Canada, doing a course
in my field, Namely a Bsc involving electronics and computing. i think the fees were
roughly in the area of $8000 a year, i may have the figure wrong but it was almost
double what a resident student would pay. let me just see if i have some URL's
http://www.library.utoronto.ca/admis...rnational.html
that has info on the whole international thing specific to UofT most other uni's will
have simliar stuff i guess, tells you the entry requirments for all different
countries incluiding UK GCSE's Alevels etc.
i think they pick their courses differently too, where as here you read a degree and
the university provides you withe the nessecary lectures to supplement it. there it
is more like the USA where you pick a major and select courses you think appropriate
with some manditory and then more freedom to diversify with minors etc
anyway thats what i know hehe hope it helps a bit. but seriously if you can manage
it i think it would be great Canada rules and the drinking age is 19 not 21 like in
the states so you dont get Campasus with no bars so much more like students should
be eh? hehe
