1. Preparation of articles before studying in Canada 1. The purchase of daily necessities depends on personal or family needs. Here are our suggestions: clothes. Canada is cold in winter, so you need to bring two cold-proof down jackets (one is 6-8 inches longer than the painted surface, and the other must be accompanied by a hat), waterproof gloves and a hat. I suggest you bring more underwear and socks (10 sets should be prepared) and don't bring too thick woolen pants. A quilt cover, two sheets, six towels, a pillow towel, an umbrella (preferably with a "paradise" pole), and low or flat shoes, which are easy to prevent slipping. Canadians are used to washing machines and dryers, so they hang less clothes. Cotton clothes shrink after dry cleaning. I suggest you buy bigger cotton clothes. Daily necessities It is suggested that you prepare the necessary toiletries within one week and bring more skin care products to adapt to the cold and dry climate in Canada. Please don't bring fresh plants and meat. Small household appliances. The plug specifications in Canada are different from those in China. It is recommended to bring a conversion plug or buy it after adding it. Buying a computer in Canada can facilitate the warranty, and the price is similar to that in China. Medicine. Everyone should bring some common medicines (mainly cold medicine, headache medicine, toothache medicine, skin medicine and diarrhea medicine). Medical insurance for new immigrants generally takes effect three months later, and medical insurance for students generally takes effect one month later. Cash: it is recommended to bring at least 6 months' living expenses, about 5,000 Canadian dollars, and the rest can be handled through international bank cards and remittances. It is recommended that you take small denominations of Canadian dollars, Hong Kong dollars and US dollars with you in case you need them during the trip. The total amount of cash, traveler's checks, etc. The articles brought into Canada by passengers should be less than 10000 Canadian dollars or equivalent foreign currency, and the excess should be declared to the customs. Prohibited articles: If you want to bring meat, weapons, plants, cars, rare animals or their fur or feather by-products into Canada, please contact the Canadian Federal Customs for relevant information. Obscene reading materials or destructive propaganda materials, and most weapons and articles harmful to the environment are not allowed to enter Canada.

According to international practice, airlines can check two pieces of luggage for passengers free of charge (students studying in Canada for the first time can apply for checking three pieces). The size and weight of luggage are stipulated by the airlines. The following data are for reference only: the weight of each piece of luggage should be less than 23kg, and the total length, width and height of each piece of checked luggage should be less than 158cm. Passengers can also carry a standard piece of luggage, the weight of which should be less than 10 kg, and the specification is 23 cm x 40 cm x 55 cm.

The visa cannot be extended. If the validity period has passed, you need to apply again. It is recommended to enter Canada within three months from the date of issuance of the visa. Secondly, prepare living expenses: When you enter Canada, the immigration officer may ask you how much cash you have brought. According to Canadian customs regulations, each person can bring up to 1 10,000 Canadian dollars into the country. More than 65,438+0,000 Canadian dollars, need to declare. If the quantity is large, it is best to open a Canadian bank account and remit the funds by transfer. Also prepare a landing (or contact) address: it can be the address of relatives and friends in Canada, which needs to be filled in or asked when entering the country. International students can also fill in the address of the school (if they choose to live in the dormitory).

Accommodation for international students can be divided into several forms: 1. Family boarding; Second, the school apartment; Third, rent your own house. Students are not familiar with the local environment when they enter Canada for the first time. Generally, they will choose host families and school dormitories. When they are familiar with the environment, some students choose to share a house with friends outside school. General host families and school dormitories need to apply in advance. In some schools, if the location is tight, students' dormitories need to apply for more than 3 months in advance. The student dormitory is located on the campus of the school, and its structure is like a high-class apartment in Canada. The dormitory has 24-hour security and front desk service. All dormitory students and visitors must leave their valid photos at the front desk and sign their names before entering. When they leave, they must sign again to show their departure. Closed-circuit television is installed in public areas, such as elevators, to ensure safety. The dormitory has central heating and cooling, high-speed internet access, free local telephone, TV, a double bed, a table and a chair. Two people share a bathroom, a dining table and a microwave oven. Someone cleans the room every week. There is also a canteen, gym, recreation room and living room downstairs. All the facilities are available. The monthly rent is about 600-850 yuan Canadian dollars. Many families in Canada are friendly and welcome international students. For international students, this is an effective way to improve their English, understand the daily life of Canadian locals and meet new friends, which can help you better integrate into society. Host families generally provide private rooms with furniture, and welcome and encourage foreign students to participate in the activities of family-established societies. Most host families will provide meals. The cost of family boarding varies in different places and cities, with an average cost of $600 to $900 per month. Living in a host family needs to pay attention to some small details, such as not coming back too late at night to avoid affecting the landlord's rest, inviting friends to visit with the landlord's consent, taking part in some housework properly, integrating into the family more, and keeping the room clean and tidy. Renting a house is also a way for international students to choose, but the price, quality and transportation convenience vary greatly. Many students use sharing to reduce costs. Many schools provide off-campus rental services, but students must be responsible for their choices. Most landlords require a one-month deposit, which is paid by cash or check every month. At the same time, it is necessary to sign a formal rental contract with the landlord, and carefully check the lease terms before signing. Many students choose apartments near the school, which generally have kitchens, toilets, bathrooms and one or two bedrooms. The average cost of sharing in Canada is $250 to $700 per month. The average cost of a suite or apartment is $400 to $65,438+$0,500 per month. In addition, it should be reminded that the first house should not be rented for too long at first, and it is advisable to sign the contract in about 3 months, leaving room for change. 2.
