Buds ,

I have seen many folks around me went to college ,enrolled into some hotshot courses ,but at the end of the day they end up working mostly in odd jobs .Dont fall for college education in Canada .
If your sole purpose is to Come to Canada that is another story but if you want to come to Canada for "HIGHER STUDIES" and do something relevant with your education .college is not a place to shed your money .The degree will take you nowhere .
Obviously there are exceptions but consider them as outliers of the population.

Mais qu'en est il des thèses /doctorats/recherches en labo, par exemple?
I dont understand french properly so I would assume you are asking if its same for thesis, PHDs and researchers.
The answer is its easier for people with higher education /research exp .

International students pay much more tuition and fees than Canadian students, what were you expecting?
Colleges are surviving because of the international fees. Obviously, agents try to entice as many students as they can.
In my opinion, receive your higher education in Canada is only worthy if you plan to settle in Canada permanently (you don't have to transcript your studies, don't need LMIA...)
For "higher education" fully recognized around the world study in the US, in UK, in Australia, NZ...somewhere else.

Otherwise, is a waste of money

Yeah I wanted to ask about research. So you mean I need to have a research expérience before coming to canada to do a PHD?

Most of the Top Universities in Canada are well recognised outside North America .So if you plan to do a Masters /PHD ,Canada is a very apt choice .

I would say check your University ranking .If its below 500 then you should not hesitate (unless you got a better offer from any other Universities)

You're right.
But undergraduate studies in top universities are quite expensive, I think is better do a Master/PHD than your whole degree. Is just my opinion though.
