Re: further education at Canadian Universities

Thanks Novo - I am caught in the trap again that I don't fit in. Like you say the Masters that I've found are only if you have nursing degrees. I do have the other option of Masters in...

Re: further education at Canadian Universities

I wish I could do face to face programs but I have a family and other casual jobs to keep me on my toes! so distance learning has been valuable for me over the last 4 years. There is a Uni in my...

Re: further education at Canadian Universities

Re: further education at Canadian Universities

Re: further education at Canadian Universities

I'd be charged at Canadian prices as I'm a permanent resident - or at least that's what I'm assuming. I would be international if I take it back in the UK but the cost isn't that different from...

Re: Are Canadians the most two-faced people on Earth?
