Public transport is safer than taking a taxi, because the route is fixed and there are many people passing by. Of course, you also need to avoid sitting in a high-risk position, such as the front row or the last row, which is the middle position of the double rows.

It is also necessary to understand and abide by local traffic laws and regulations, especially to find out what is different from China. Don't wait until you are fined or educated to notice your mistakes. Pay special attention to the traffic lights at non-busy intersections. You need to press the green button yourself.

Third, social security.

Studying and living in Canada for several years is not only a study, but also a holiday. These are the stages of socializing and making friends. You can start with a gathering with many acquaintances and gradually expand your contacts.

It is a club and interest group in the school, and it is also a good social place, but whether it is gathering with acquaintances or strangers, you need to be vigilant, put your own safety first, and don't go out alone with others casually.

2. Interpretation of Canada's tax rebate for studying abroad

1.GST/HST tax refund

GST/HST is the full name of Goods and Services Tax/Harmonized Sales Tax, that is, Goods and Services Tax/Harmonized Sales Tax. The GST in Canada is 5%, and different provinces have their own tax savings (PST). The combination of these two taxes is HST. In our usual shopping, we will pay a certain amount of GST/HST, and in the annual tax refund season, the government will refund some taxes to individuals.

Canadian students who come to study can also get this tax rebate. As long as you are 19 years old and live in Canada, that is, you meet the requirements of tax residents, you can get a quarterly tax rebate in 62 yuan.

2. Tuition refund

Tuition during studying abroad should be a huge expense. Tuition fees play a role in reducing income when filing tax returns, thus reducing the tax to be paid. If there is no income in the tax year, the amount of tuition deductible income will be accumulated and used in future work. Once you have a job income, when you start to pay taxes, tuition will help you get a tax refund.

If you forget to declare the tuition fee when you file your tax return, you can pay the tuition fee no matter how long it takes. The tax deduction of tuition fees can be accumulated for a maximum of five years, and the tax that has not been deducted by international students within five years can be deducted from their current taxes at one time.

3. Scheduled tax refund

North American textbooks are notoriously expensive, and a book costs tens of Canadian dollars at every turn. Full-time students in Canadian schools can get a tax refund of 65 Canadian dollars per month, and even half-time students can get a tax refund of about 20 Canadian dollars.

4. Consumption tax rebate

This tax rebate is basically only available to international students, and it is ***$ 100.

5. Accumulated RRSP quota

Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) is an account designed to help Canadians plan their future. For international students, a certain amount of RRSP investment can be accumulated every year for tax declaration. When there is work income in the future, the money saved in RRSP every year can be deducted from the income of that year, thus reducing the income tax to be deducted in that year. However, international students who come to Canada do not need to open an RRSP account in a hurry, because there is no RRSP quota in the first year, but they can learn about RRSP in advance, and they can use RRSP for reasonable tax relief after they have the conditions for work and investment in the future.

3. What should I pay attention to when studying in Canada?

1, visa time

Note that if your student visa has expired for 90 days, you can only go back to China to renew it. Many students and parents are very concerned about the expiration and renewal of visas. Generally speaking, the reason for this problem is that students forget the expiration time of their visas. Not renewed within the specified time, so there is no legal status to stay in Canada.

If the renewal is within 90 days, students can still go through the relevant formalities in Canada. If you consider it for more than 90 days, you'd better go back to China as soon as possible and reapply. Don't take any chances, thinking that you won't be found. If it is found out, the consequences will be very serious. The longer the illegal residence, the more difficult it will be to apply for a new visa.

2. Maintain the consistency of visas.

Many foreign students who have just arrived in Canada have signed up for short courses. At this time, you don't have a long-term admission letter, and all study permits are valid for a short time. Some students even have only visiting visas. But your short-term visa time is up, and you haven't applied for a new one, so you can't stay in Canada during this period. So pay more attention to when your license is valid, and make sure whether your license is public or has a designated school.

You are not allowed to work.

When studying abroad, many international students will use their spare time to do part-time jobs, accumulate some experience and earn some living expenses. But there are also legal and illegal differences between working. In Canada, it is stipulated that full-time students can legally work on or off campus. If you used to be a full-time student and later became a part-time student, you can't work. Part-time students who want to work must apply for a work visa at the immigration office before they can continue to work. At the same time, the Immigration Bureau has the right to check the registration of students. Once it is found that some part-time students go to work without applying, they will be repatriated. Therefore, students studying in Canada must work legally.

4. Don't violate the school discipline.

The main purpose of studying abroad is to go to school, so it is very important to get good grades. Students are advised not to do anything against discipline at school. Once you violate the discipline, the school administrator will deal with you according to the seriousness of what you have done. If the consequences are serious, you will be expelled and repatriated, so you can't continue studying in Canada.

Generally speaking, cheating is the most important and common reason for violating school discipline. In fact, it is equivalent to being dishonest in learning. Whether you intentionally or unintentionally, as long as you cheat, the school will severely punish you.
