Intend to move to Canada for graduate studies

AI Thread Summary
Moving to Canada for graduate studies in fields like computer science, biology, archaeology, geology, and environmental engineering requires careful preparation. Prospective students must demonstrate financial capability to support their studies, as outlined by the Canadian immigration guidelines. The Skilled Worker Self-Assessment test is not necessary for students, allowing them to focus on applying to various Canadian institutions. It's advisable to inquire about financial aid options directly with schools. Weather varies significantly across Canada, with Vancouver being milder compared to other regions, which can be extremely cold for extended periods. Despite the cold, many find the cost of living lower, the quality of education high, and crime rates relatively low, making Canada an attractive destination for international students.

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

you are serious right ?
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...
 
well as a student you can ignore the Skilled Worker Self-Assessment test. I would apply to various Canadian schools and ask the contact there how you can get fin aid (if you need it)
 
It is freezing as hell here in Canada,however weather in Vancouver never goes below 0 C, and overall is nice place to live.Rest of this country freezez for 6 months. :bugeye:
 
Its better to live in a cold place than in a hot one. I like cold cold place. When it gets cold, just wear a bunch of clothes and go out chilling with friends. In a hot country, you can not do something sillmillar like this. :-p :-p
Thanks kptr2 and tumor, Have yourselves a really funny and prosperous new year!
