Congratulations to students whose Study Visas to Canada have been approved & will be starting school this Winter (January).
When you eventually land in Canada, here are some important things to note:
- As a student, you are allowed to work 20 hours per week.
- Before buying textbooks, check with Lecturers if okay with you borrowing from Library rather than owning.
- Aside from the busy cities like Toronto etc., buses run every 30 mins on weekdays & every 1hr on weekends.
- If you don't drive, check bus schedule before going out.
- Please get a very good winter jacket, winter boots, & have your gloves with you at all times. Please.
- If you can't afford the school residence, you can rent very close to the school.
- It is cheaper to cook than to eat out.
