To study in Canada: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/permit-who.html
I think you basically have to show that you can pay your way.

"Skilled Worker Self-Assessment"
I got a 80, but I had to fudge my french ability (none) and I assumed I had a job offer of some kind.

Thank you

I could reach 52...failed!

But that was teh first time I took the test. I didn't try teh second time but I guess I would be able to move up to 90 or so if some other tries were made...
