The airfares? I'm not worried about the airfares, I'm worried about the fact that you're a fucking australian and would kick my ass! You offended a Canadian, not an American, we aren't dumb enough to fight a fight that stupid because of our country was insulted.The_Healer said:
No offense to all the americans who are most likely looking my address up for their briefcase nuke as we speak. Damn it, I should stop talking now...
Hahaha you crack me up my friend.Blueruler182 said:
Well there is another reason for him to come to Australia, not having to be so close to 'the land of the free'.
No, there's just the locals wrestling with crocs that you'll have to worry about... Here we just wrestle the moose, much more sane.The_Healer said:
tuition fees are pretty high for international students(you aren't subsidized) as far as living in a city but being near lakes hiking fishing and the likes and I know all you people are going to yell at me but it's true: Ottawa is probably best. it's not the biggest city, but it has some fantastic museums, close to lots of hiking trails in gatineau park, and you're close to two of the largest cities in Canada. Ottawa is also close to Algonquin Park, probably the best place to rough it if you're more into serious portaging, canoeing, hiking. the night life in ottawa isn't crazy, but there's enough out there for what you want. our parliament sits here but try not to hold it against us, you could actually find a job with an english degree out here because we are a government town, and a degree actually matters. One thing to know is that if you have no intention of learning french it might not be the best place to go because it does have a strong french population and it's in your best interest to know it.
first off. sorry for the double post.dibblywibbles said:
I did learn some high school french. It shoulden't be too hard to get a refresher course.
since you say there's a strong french population, Im guessing there's easy acces to night classes and what not?
What do you have against Canada? It's just like Australia, without the thousands of different animals to kill you. We just have one thing that kills, THE COLD!The_Healer said:
Can I just ask the question: Why does everyone hate Toronto and Ontario?
Its quite offensive to me when you are saying my homeland is a shithole.

As an international student in Canada, you will pay roughly 2-4 times as much as domestic students in tuition. Student visas can take a really long time if you're not from a few specifically targeted countries; I don't know for sure, but I suspect that Denmark isn't one of them. That said, Canada's post-secondary institutions are among the best in the world.
Paying tuition fees in Canada is, I imagine, the same as paying tuition fees anywhere. I do it with online banking the same way I pay my credit card.
Basically, if you can afford it, and if you think you'd enjoy living in Canada (maybe a vacation is a good way to test that), you could do a hell of a lot worse. Just make sure you ignore all of the people telling you to go to prairie cities ? they're too hot in the summer, too cold in the winter, and boring and ugly all year round.
I'm the news editor at the student paper at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver; I'm not an expert on international student regulations or anything like that, but I've come across more than your average rube when researching articles and trying to fill my section. I'll answer questions if I can.

Although I can't answer nearly all of your questions, since I don't actually know many of the answers, I thought I could at least help by searching up the Government of Canada website, and actually specifically find the link for the applications for studying in Canada as a foreign student.

If I have more time, I'd be happy to answer more questions about the part of Canada (the Prairies) I specifically live in, and help some that way.
Torontonians EXPECTED someone to help them survive 2" of snow, and then had the audacity to call us Westerners a bunch of yokels, when we laughed about 2-damn-inches-of-snow.

One reason is that Ontarians believe that they live at the centre of the Canadian universe; another is the fact that Toronto had to be bailed out by the military after a 2" snowfall. I mean, yes, Quebecers' can be whiny bastards, but they didn't ASK for help during the last major icestorm, although they gracefully accepted help and acknowledged the efforts of others.Canadian Briton said:

If you are saying people from Ontario are full of themselves, then that dosent affect me cus I come from a nice family and I've been mostly raised in England (still got an accent though). But then again we come from Oakville (A Town kinda near Toronto) Which from what I've seen is quite beaautiful, Especially at Autumn with all the dead dried maple leaves, and clean.s69-5 said:

Yep most of the times my family have been to oakville is during halloween because the halloweens are great and the sound of the leaves on the ground crushed underfoot is what I most love.s69-5 said:
