Incidentally, I obtained the above info by going to the Fanshawe College website and typing "calendar" in the search box. Entire 2012-2013 academic year calendar is available in PDF format.

Fanshawe is closed over the Christmas and New Year holidays. It reopens on Wednesday, 2 Jan 2013, and the first day of classes for the Winter 2013 term in Monday, 7 Jan 2013. I assume Centennial is similar, if not exactly the same.

I didn't specify the Canadian job market. The students I referred to are enrolled now, which clearly means they were able to get approved study permits. Obviously it would be a mistake to believe that everyone who applies will be successful... but it would be just as big a mistake to...

No. Application fees are used to evaluate the application. CIC uses these fees to offset the cost of processing. Also please turn off the CAPS-LOCK key when posting. :-)

That's how this forum works...multiple people read your post and if they feel qualified to answer, they do so. If they have no knowledge in the area you're inquiring about, they remain silent. Be patient! Hopefully you'll get some quality responses soon. :)

I know several students from India who are enrolled in non-post graduate Trade programs (aircraft mechanics and construction fields). They had previous education that was unrelated. In their cases, each was able to write a strong cover letter explaining that they were interested in changing...

Again, you did not read my response carefully enough. What I said was that generally speaking, people with bachelor degrees do not go into the trades (although there is certainly nothing preventing them from doing so if they want to). In other words, people usually enroll in trade schools...

Don't assume that everyone who comes to study in Canada has already completed post-secondary education. I personally know many students in Colleges and Trade Schools who only had a high school education before applying. As for whether or not trade schools are a wise career choice, here in...

Yes. Trade school programs are generally 2-year diploma programs (but NOT PG diplomas). A few programs are actually longer... 3 or 4 years.

I originally posted the following yesterday in response to a query about what exactly Trade Schools are. I've noticed that questions similar to it pop up occasionally, so rather than bury my response on page 6 of a thread (with a title that has no direct relationship to trade schools), I'm...

Trades are professions where practical knowledge is just as important (perhaps more so) than theoretical knowledge. Sometimes Trades are also known as Crafts. Examples of trades include Carpenters, Plumbers, Bakers, Welders, Machinists, Steel workers, Mechanics and Electricians. Schools that...

Repeatedly spamming multiple threads with the same post will only irritate people. Give those who might assist you time to formulate a response. Remember, the posters here are all volunteering their time, they're not employees. They have jobs and lives outside of this message board. Some my...

Langara College in Vancouver also has a good ESL program. They offer many diploma, certificate and even degree programs and many use it as a stepping stone for later transfer to UBC or Simon Fraser.

I also forgot to mention that each school sets its own deadlines. Schools generally offer three terms of equal length (13 weeks instruction, 2 weeks exams, 3 weeks break) At this point we're probably getting real close to the cutoff dates for the Summer 2013 term (May to August 2013). More...

1. Payment for first term (deposit) is due immediately (you won't get the all-important second letter until you do, which means you won't be able to apply for the permit). For subsequent terms it depends on the school. At Langara College where I attend, only a $500 commitment fee is...

Slow down its not quite that simple. Before you can apply for a Study Permit you must first be accepted into a program of study by a college or university. You must select a specific school and apply directly to them for admission. Application fees usually range from $100 to $200, depending...

1st step is to go to the nearest ICBC location and write the driving knowledge test. The test costs $15.00 each time you take it (if you do not pass on the 1st attempt you will have to pay the exam fee each time you take it). They will also give you a vision screening test. If you pass the...

No. That would be like attempting to purchase homeowners insurance after your house had already burned down and expecting the insurance company to cover the loss.

Once you receive the Learners Permit, you must practise driving for a minimum of one year. You must be supervised by someone at least 25 years old at all times (they must be in vehicle with you.) Learners Permit is valid for 2 years. If you feel you need longer than two years, the L permit...
