Studying in Canadian universities

China technical secondary school graduates, college graduates or college students who want to study in Canada often feel at a loss when choosing a major, and they are often refused visas for various reasons. Therefore, according to the different situations and academic backgrounds of these students, we should subdivide them and make personalized study abroad plans.

School major choice of students with different academic qualifications

Technical secondary school graduates:

It is best to have work experience related to professional background, and you can apply for a Canadian diploma course that meets your own conditions.

Two-year college students or graduates:

You can apply for diploma courses, university credit transfer courses or degree courses of related majors in universities and colleges, and you can consider converting some credits already obtained in China.

Three-year college students or graduates:

You can apply for a university credit transfer course or a degree course to convert some of the credits obtained in China; Graduates can also apply for postgraduate preparatory courses.

Three-year university graduates with many years of work experience:

You can apply for the MBA preparatory course of Canadian University College. After completing the required courses for undergraduate graduation in about one year, you can directly transfer to the formal courses of MBA.

Visa advantage

Students with a university background can request to transfer part of the credits earned in China. If you can successfully transfer credits, or at least the school promises to transfer credits in the admission notice, it is very beneficial for applying for a visa; Generally, it only takes two or three years to complete the professional diploma of the college, and the guarantee is less than that of the undergraduate course, which is conducive to visa application.

The advantages of going to college

Professional diploma courses are closely related to the job market and are conducive to finding jobs in Canada.

The college credit transfer course in the college enables students to transfer college credits to undergraduate courses equally, which is conducive to students' progress to a higher degree, and is an arrangement for upgrading from college to undergraduate.

Canada is a developed country, but the cost of studying abroad in Canada is lower than that in developed countries, and it needs RMB 654.38+ 10,000 ~ 654.38+065.438+0,000 yuan every year. If you go to Canada for graduate study after graduating from college, the cost will be slightly higher. To study in Canada, parents need to prepare a guarantee for their children in advance. At present, Canada's requirements for deposits are very strict, requiring a bank deposit history of 12 ~ 18 months, and the amount of each deposit should not be too large, preferably not more than 654.38+10,000 yuan. The best deposit amount guaranteed by the fund is 30,000 ~ 50,000 yuan per month. If you plan to study in Canada before and after graduating from high school, you'd better start making financial preparations in your freshman year. I want to leave after graduating from my senior year, and I will start to make financial preparations in my sophomore year.

Second, how to inquire about the cost of studying abroad, and how to be aware of it?

1. Before you go to study in Canada and sign an entrustment contract with an intermediary company, you must first ask the detailed fees, payment time and method of each Canadian institution, and list them in the contract. It's best to list the tuition fees paid separately, and don't use the binding method, because the binding method is not true. For example, how much is the application fee and tuition? Not only should we be clear, but we should also know how long the tuition fee is, whether it is 3 months, 4 months or 1 year, so as to compare the tuition fees of various schools.

2. To know the purpose of the payment, ask for a valid invoice and receipt. If you don't know the actual use of the fees paid, you may be cheated.

3. To understand the refund policy of the fees paid, if your application is rejected, you must be very clear about which fees should be refunded and which fees should not be refunded.

Also, whether it is cash payment or remittance, it must be settled in Canadian dollars, and the handling fee between US dollars and other currencies may be different. In addition, to study in Canada, you only need to pay two fees to Canadian schools before you get a visa, that is, the application fee and tuition fee, and there should be no other fees. After signing, only accommodation and airport pick-up fees will be arranged. Some universities have some accommodation deposits, but other fees are not.

Third, what is the cost of studying in China and Canada?

Generally speaking, in addition to the intermediary service fee, other direct expenses of studying in Canada include passport application fee (to the public security bureau), material notarization fee (to the notary office), embassy visa fee (to the embassy), medical examination fee (to the hospital) and air ticket fee at departure.

Cost of studying in Canada

(1) tuition.

The tuition fees required by universities vary according to the schools they apply for and the provinces where they are located. Generally, 10000 Canadian dollars-12000 Canadian dollars are needed every year. The specific fees vary from university to university and are related to the selected subjects. When you ask the university you apply for information, you can get the details.

② Book and stationery expenses.

200-400 Canadian dollars a year, books can be bought second-hand, and stationery can be taken from China.

③ Accommodation.

Accommodation at school includes two meals, about 6,000 Canadian dollars per year; Local family accommodation costs about 8,000 Canadian dollars per year; If you share a house with others, you can save about 2000 Canadian dollars.

④ Medical insurance premium.

The medical expenses in foreign countries are relatively high, so international students should immediately learn from universities (which usually have offices or institutions in charge of international students' affairs) and go through medical insurance procedures to avoid huge expenses without preparation. Many schools adopt compulsory medical insurance for international students (it must be done as soon as they enter school, some of which are included in tuition fees, and some need to be paid separately).

⑤ Daily living expenses.

Such as transportation, communication, entertainment, laundry, etc. Generally, it costs about 5,000 Canadian dollars a year.

A student authorization is a form issued by an immigration officer. If you are not a local or permanent resident of Canada or an independent resident permitted by foreign policy, you must have a student permit. After you are admitted to the school, you must apply to the Canadian Embassy for this student permit (that is, an international student visa). After obtaining a visa, you can successfully enter Canada to start your study abroad career.

Basic requirements for student visas:

1. Official school admission notice. That is, you have been admitted to an educational institution recognized by a country in Canada;

2. There should be enough realistic economic security. That is, during your stay in Canada, you have enough financial ability to pay for living expenses and tuition. Including the round-trip expenses between you and your partner;

4. No criminal record: that is, provide proof that he has not been subjected to criminal and any legal sanctions;

Visa renewal:

At least 3 months before your student visa expires, call the nearest Canadian immigration center and apply by letter. The renewal of the student visa will not affect your visitor visa. In order to obtain a new visitor visa, you need to apply outside Canada, and you should ensure the legality of your visa.

Visa application:

There is no limit to the number of Canadian students studying in China. The visa approval rate of the Immigration Department of the Canadian Embassy in China last year was about 65%. No intermediary or lawyer can speed up the process of accepting applications, nor will they receive any special treatment.

Rejection and reapplication:

When you are refused a visa, you will receive a letter of refusal, and the visa officer will give the applicant a clear reason for refusal. After the visa is rejected, the application materials can be rearranged according to the reasons for the refusal:

If the visa is refused because of insufficient funds; You can make further sufficient financial preparations before applying;

If the visa is refused because the provided economic guarantee history is short, the application can be submitted when the economic guarantee history is slightly longer;

If you refuse the visa because of immigration tendency: when submitting the application again, you should emphasize the credibility of your return to China;

If the visa is refused due to insufficient preparation of materials: after the materials can be improved, submit the application again;

If the visa is refused because the application materials are untrue: you can prepare some other materials to confirm the authenticity of the last submitted materials;

Study visa rate:

The higher the existing education, the higher the success rate of visa. The average visa rate was about 65% last year, and it is expected to increase this year.

Generally speaking, it is really difficult to get a visa to study in Canada, and the professional service of the intermediary will help you a lot.
