I'm an engineering student in Egypt, and I want to emigrate to Canada as a refugee...?
I want to continue my studies there, what shall I do? I heard that they would provide me a caregiver, and find me a job to live there. Would Canada support me as a student refugee there? Until I become a resident or a citizen?

Refugee from what? Canada's refugee system is not geared to people who just want to go to school, it is aimed at those who are fleeing persecution or war. You do not appear to qualify. Go to your closest Canadian Embassy, they can provide you with information on eligibility for a student visa. But as a student, you will be expected to support yourself while in Canada. Even refugees do not receive government support to go to school, any more than Canadian citizens do. All the refugee system will do is give you income support until you have a job.

If you have financial problems, claiming as a refugee isnt going to work because you will have to pay the govt back eventually. Instead, since you have the education, apply as a skilled worker in MB or Sask. These provinces offer free provincal enterance, and if youhave friends or family here that can give you a hand, even better. If you are jewish, see the Jewish federation, they can support you. Check out their websites. Maybe this would be an other option instead of claiming as a refugee www.immigrationmanitoba.ca www.immigration.gov.sk.ca and further info, if still liking the refugee idea, ry: ww.cic.gc.ca
