I came to Toronto in January 2013. At that time, I was enrolled in Masters in University + Blank. Attending first three week, I realized it wasn't of my level. I lost confidence too early. Though, I had got admission easily in the program. But, The way of studies was completely different from PTU. You can pass only if you do well in project plus you have to write research papers which was also a new concept to me. Actually, I came here unprepared which was the reason I completely went in awe. You can clearly make out if you can really survive in course or not. Seminars, Theory related concepts were not a problem but universities here do not consider those areas important. I admit, I lacked project management, working in groups especially with PHD students. They always look for teammates with brilliant attitude and sharp knowledge. I was a fresher plus PTU kid. After all this trauma I went through, I made a big decision to quit the course. Through that period, I remained in depression. I didn't know what was happening ? Student Help Center at University was not a help as they believe, Master level students take mature decisions. Dreams had already shattered. I did not get refund for first semester and wasted 4 lakhs. University did not return it. I would thank god if they return ,me the rest of 10 lakhs. I first thought to suicide. Then thought, my parents will suffer for whole life. I told them the truth. At first, dad was like numb for a minute. After two days, they called me back and asked me to come back. I said what will happen then, career has already gone. He said we need you not money. After a month, I was out of my mind. Then, received a call from my sister, she said that take one more chance. I tried for college and got admission in a Community college. It is a two years course. Let's see what happens ? I would urge you that come to university, if you have seriously completed your under-graduation and if you really want to do masters. If you are coming by following your companions or reading Canadavisa.com posts, Be ready. Also, It is a great opportunity universites give to students, who really have talent. They will succeed and make us proud. Last thing I'd say is do the things you love to do. Following others is never be easy for you. I am really thinking of myself I'd be able to do it in college. Luck has really kicked mu butt harder, and has put me 6 years behind. I have seriosuly lost everything in me, confidence, willingness to acheive goals, trust on god. I choose a diploma course. I think it will be easy. Hope so. Coming to canada and surviving is not easy. You have to keep going. If go out of track, results can be worst like me as an example. Chill guys. Do great work in Canada, Study hard, Party hard. Make us proud, make me proud. Make you family proud. Lets see if I stay here or waste 20 lakhs of my parents and my life. Sorry if any of family member come across this post. I have tried my best to conceal my identity. sorry but life just f((((( me.
