Do you have relatives here with you? If you are under 19, you must have the approval of a parent or legal guardian. They must also accompany you to ICBC when getting your initial Learners Permit and writing the knowledge test/vision screening exam.

All depends on where in Canada...here in BC, where we have a very large Indian population, it is quite readily available. Other than that, I know nothing about it, your best bet would would be Googling it.

JD5 is quite correct, but he omitted to specify that it is applicants from India in particular who are facing great difficulty in obtaining visitor visas to the U.S. Even those who have been granted PR often must spend several years in Canada before receiving approval. Here in the Vancouver...

For applicants from visa-exempt countries such as the U.S. it is simply a matter of driving to the border, paying the fees and getting the permits. In my case my wife accompanied me to border, showed acceptance letter and bank statement, paid fees. Drove away 20 minutes later with Study Permit...

I hope you don't mind but I generally prefer to post rather than PM, so that others might possibly benefit as well. Throughout my process I enjoyed a number of advantages that you probably won't have. I am from the U.S. and in preparation for our application my wife and I moved to Lynden...

Thanks, HBK.

My comment was directed more at peep, who inquired about best colleges for comp engineering. Both Kwantlen and Langara have solid reps for colleges. BCIT, UBC and SFU are best Universities. (Actually, Kwantlen was recently "promoted" to university status as well but can't compete with the...

Forgot all about Kwantlen! SORRY! Plenty of Comp Sci programs in Colleges, but Comp Engineering is pretty much limited to Universities /Tech institutes.

Not sure about rest of Canada but here in BC, Langara College and BCIT have good reps.

Any geographical preferences?

Thank you peep, I appreciate it.

I have no direct interest in any of the colleges and programs mentioned in this thread but felt I had to jump in and interject. In hopes that the observations of an interested third party [me] can help to clear up some misconceptions I offer up the following ... There seems to be a great deal...

I'm currently in a situation somewhat similar. I'm currently in my last term at Langara College (Diploma Program) here in Vancouver. I'm 52 and until my current enrollment had not been to school since 1981. I had absolutely no trouble with admission nor with the study permit process. I am...

The policy period for most insurance products in Canada is one year. Auto insurance policies can be the exception ... some policies are issued for 6 months at a time. It is simplest and least expensive to pay the premium for an annual insurance policy in a single lump sum payment, although...

I doubt you'll be able to get any solid information, i.e., anything other than anecdotal responses. That said, I'm currently enrolled in the Arts & Sciences Diploma program at Langara College in Vancouver. I'm 53 years old and had no trouble whatsoever getting my study permit. Also applied for...

Unless you're wealthy enough to afford twice-daily seaplane flights between Vancouver and Victoria (circa $95.00 each way on Harbour Air) or willing to endure commuting times of at least 3-1/2 to 4 hours each way (60 mins - Van to Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal, 90 mins - on the boat, 30 to 45 mins -...

I understand your point but the numbers simply don't back your statement up. We here are certainly extremely fortunate to live in a country with abundant natural resources, and I agree that some individuals and regions rely upon them to some degree for their economic well-being, but they're...

It's uncanny how similar our circumstances were to yours. My wife and I made the crossing in April 2010 and just as yours was, our move was also "local" ... Lynden, WA (north of Bellingham) to downtown Vancouver! Our move actually began in Ohio more than one full year earlier but since we're...
