What preparations should I make before studying in Canada?

Students who are going to study in Canada, are many people in Canada struggling with the preparation of luggage? What preparations should they make before studying in Canada? Studying in Canada now is the first choice for many students. For international students, only by making full preparations before departure can they integrate into life in Canada as soon as possible and successfully complete their studies. What preparations should I make before studying in Canada?

First, communication is ready. There are all three-frequency mobile phones.

Generally speaking, if the mobile phone you buy in China is tri-band, you can use it in Canada. However, because the frequency bands of Canadian mobile phones are dual-band 950MHZ and 1900MHZ, domestic tri-band mobile phones are usually 900MHZ, 1800MHZ and 1900MHZ, where 1900MHZ can be used, but 950MHZ is missing, which is equivalent to single frequency. A few areas may be 60 MHz. In view of this, the most practical way for international students to go to Canada is to buy a machine locally.

Second, luggage preparation depends on the location.

January is the spring school day in Canada every year. When going abroad for the first time, it is inevitable for foreign students to bring relatively complete luggage, but the things they carry are always limited, so we should choose the most important items according to the characteristics of different countries.

For students who entered the school in May 438+10, they can take less cotton-padded sweaters to keep out the cold when they go to Vancouver and other places in Canada, but if they go to northern cities such as Ottawa and Toronto, down jackets and cotton bedding are essential, and they can take more if possible, so they don't have to worry about paying taxes on luggage, because personal belongings and sea luggage that have passed through Canadian customs for the first time are tax-free.

Canada didn't have medical insurance in the first three months, so you should bring some commonly used drugs, such as cold medicine, fever medicine, stomach medicine, antiallergic medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine, etc. In addition, the voltage in Canada is 1 10V. If you want to bring electric appliances such as rice cookers, VCD players and hair dryers from China, you must bring a transformer.

Third, prepare for entry and find out the customs contraband.

According to the latest entry and exit regulations, Canada prohibits most fruits and vegetables, plants, seeds, eggs, meat and dairy products, including apples, apricots, tomatoes, peppers and other common fruits and vegetables. In Canada, grapes are an exception.

It is understood that students studying in Canada must also apply for a study permit when they first enter Canada. At the time of processing, immigration officials may ask students some questions, such as which country you come from, the main purpose of coming to Canada, your relatives in Canada and so on. And the answer must be true and credible.

Fourth, pick up the plane and stay at home first.

After changing the study permit at the Canadian airport, the school pick-up personnel who have contacted well in China will wait outside the airport. If you can't find the pick-up person temporarily, you can change some coins at the airport first, and then contact the pick-up person by pay phone. Students are advised to set up a calling card with international long-distance function in China. At the Canadian airport, you can directly contact the airport to pick up the plane by telephone.

International students can generally have three choices in accommodation: school dormitory, host family and off-campus rental. Compared with the latter two methods, the school dormitory is safer, but the rent is more expensive, and the food provided by the dormitory may not be suitable for China people's tastes; It is cheaper to live in a host family. As long as the living expenses are paid and the daily diet is guaranteed, students are the best choice for international students who have just gone abroad. Renting a house off campus is more free and the most economical of the three.

Five, the funds to prepare less cash bills.

According to the latest regulations, the limit for each person to leave the country is 20,000 yuan, and the foreign currency cash does not exceed the equivalent of 5,000 US dollars. According to the current exchange rate, the Canadian dollar is more than 5,900 Canadian dollars. If you need to carry the foreign currency cash equivalent to 5000- 10000, you must also go to the designated foreign exchange bank for proof of carrying.
