How long have you been in Canada and at this particular campus for? What were your expectations regarding getting an on-campus job?

do a quick search on co-op. This topic has been beaten to death , revived to life and beaten up again (multiple times).

Assuming you mean Indian NRI as in Canadian Indian students and Indian visa students, then there is definitely a clash of cultures of a kind. Indo-canadian (those that are born here to desi parents) mostly resent the restricted lifestyle their parents impose on them and want to live like their...

You have to understand that every applicant is viewed individually and what may have worked for others does not mean it will work for you. The SOP you write is what distinguishes you (or should distinguish you) from the thousands of applicants, even in the same program. The question you have to...

Might be acceptable in cases where the required courses are not being offered in the current semester or only a handful of courses are left for degree completion (as is the case in universities where you pick your courses). In the end, it probably has to be justified by a valid reason. Not being...

Both perspectives are valid and true. But does not make the ride any more comfortable. If one is prepared to face the hardships, they'll be fine. But again, having higher expectations is where most will feel hard done by. As far as being envious of your canadian relatives, cousins etc, i'll...

If 'related to your studies' is not strictly defined anywhere, then it falls in a grey area where it can be hard to distinguish between very closely related jobs. This can also work in your favor if you can justify how the job is related to your studies. What they are basically trying to avoid...

Get your school to make official copies of your credentials for you (they will probably stamp and signed by the principal ), get them to put them in an envelop and seal/ stamp the seam. You can then mail them directly to the universities you are applying to. It would be very unlikely if they...

Where you graduate from wont make much difference when you go looking for a job. Unfortunately, in most cases it will come down to work experience and co-op will be the deciding factor. Of course, nobody can guarantee that you will find a co-op job since it all depends on what you have to offer...

Any kind of approval to stay in Canada for more than 6 months needs to be accompanied by a medical exam. So if your wife is to be allowed into Canada through any means (visitor, worker etc), temporary as it may be, she will still need to go through a medical exam. Here is where it may cause...

@AnilK Thats like putting all your eggs in the same basket, which is a big gamble and then complaining when it does not pay off. CIC can and sometimes does take more time for processing. considering the current strikes going on, it's kind of obvious it can take longer. This information is...

Normally, the description of full time varies by each institution. 2 subjects is most definitely part-time.

depends on what your interests are. Suggest you start searching and make a list and then come back once you have narrowed it down to a few.

I know people who have switched from visitor to work permit from within canada but it has involved getting a job offer, an LMO etc. Not sure if there are any restrictions of doing it from Student to work permit, but if it can be done from visitor to WP, it might be possible. Assuming you are...

Happens far too often than seen/ admitted. The problem is abnormally higher expectations. If its too good to be true, it probably isn't. As far as consultancies are concerned, they are there to tell you exactly what you want to hear. People go to consultancies because they want re-assurances...

Minimum wage differs by province but my example considered $10/hr. Not sure how another 25 cents would make a big difference. As for tax credits, sure you get them but unless your income is substantial, you dont get to use them. the only thing you would get back when you file taxes is part of...

I would guess the advanced diploma is considered at the MSC level in terms of progression. Why not try for MSC? or M-ED? I would put all my money on PHD aswell. No point trying and getting rejected for a diploma just because you want to get there right now.

I guess alberta is really dropping the bar then... good news for everyone. wonder if there is a cap?

A typical student job pays minimum wage, around 8-10$/ hour. So if you find a job that pays you 10$/ hr for your max 20 hrs per week, you are looking at $200 a week and $800 a month. After taxes, that leaves you with around $550-ish at the end. That probably wont be enough to cover your rent and...

Indians are everywhere my friend
