opportunities in canada for international student?

opportunities in canada for international student?
I was born in Panama. My parents are chinese. I'm currently attending a college in california, USA. My parents are planning to move to canada (maybe winnipeg, perhaps vancouver). I'm going with them. I've read bad stuff about immigrants going back to their countries because Canada doesn't recognize their skills and because they don't get paid well. I want to study nursing in Canada. is it too difficult for international students to get into a nursing program? could i be hired by hospitals, etc, after getting my diploma, even if I'm an international student? also, how expsensive is it to live in vancouver? and winnipeg? please, no silly answers. I need help and information. Thanks Please remember that I'm an international student. I know nurses are highly needed. I want to get me nursing degree there. will i be able to get a job afterwards?

Hi I'm not in the medical field but I am from Canada. Canada has a great need for nurses. It will be very easy to get a job anywhere in Canada. As for living expenses Vancouver is one of the most expesive places to live in Canada. Winnipeg is much cheaper but the weather is very cold to people who are not used to live in Canada.

In my opinion, the warmth of the Canadian people will make up for the cold temperatures in Canada. I don't think you'll have any trouble getting into a nursing program. The gentleman who answered you first is right --- Canada currently has a shortage of nurses. There are even more opportunities for work and the potential to make an outstanding salary in the Northwest Territories. Most institutions of higher education in Canada welcome international students with open arms....particularly if your grades are solid. The "Finding Your School" page on the website below will help you conduct a search by province and program of study. You should also read about the differences between the educational systems in the U.S. and Canada so you have a clear understanding of the type of school you're looking for. Good luck to you (and your family)! ADDITIONAL LINK TO NEWSLETTER BELOW....JUST RELEASED TODAY, September, 26, 2007 regarding Canadian schools and jobs for immigrants. Good luck

That is dependent on a lot of things. The US is a huge country, and the economic situation varies greatly from place to place. It is also very much depending on what your degree is in, and how much field experience you have. Being a citizen is not really a factor, they want to hire the most qualified person for the job. I do not know about Canada's situation, geographically they are completely different than America, but here in the States you can never expect to get a job, unless you are going into the medical field, even engineering is really falling into massive cuts. In America you can never expect anything, kind of scary, but don't give up.

This depends on your country of origin. Without knowing that, I can't help you. This should help though: http://www.cic.gc.ca/EnGLIsh/study/index.asp If you are American and crossing by land you can apply at any major border crossing.
2 :
Only if you qualify as an international student, are accepted by a university in Canada, can provide financial proof of being able to support yourself while here, you may have to post a bond with immigration, and can meet the grade standard requirements immigration has, pass a criminal record and background check and the medical exam Americans have to be accepted as international students and go through the same process any other foreign student has to, and they have to pay international student fees to study in Canada. You CANNOT just enter Canada from the USA and enroll in University without a Visa To be eligible to study in Canada You must have been accepted by a school, college, university or other educational institution in Canada. You must prove that you have enough money to pay for your: tuition fees living expenses for yourself and any family members who come with you to Canada and return transportation for yourself and any family members who come with you to Canada. You must be a law-abiding citizen with no criminal record and not be a risk to the security of Canada. You may have to provide a police certificate. You must be in good health and willing to complete a medical examination, if necessary. You must satisfy an immigration officer that you will leave Canada when you have completed your studies.

The short answer is NO.......... Having a visa in the UK has no relevance in Canada. Two separate countries, with totally different rules about who gets a visitors or student's visa. Jim B. Toronto.

Food can be expensive / cheap in Vancouver. It depends where you are at. It's anywhere from 6 - 20 dollars per meal. If you are going to UBC/ SFU, and you have a U pass, bus fare is included in your school fee. I can't think of other living expenses if you are living in a dorm.
2 :
If you are in a dorm and use public transportation and don't buy alot of new clothes, your expenses will be minimal. B.C. is an expensive place to live. I am not from there but am in Canada. I would say that you will need about $500 a month for your groceries and toiletries. You can probably get a few nice clothing items out of that as well. If you have a cell phone, health insurance with extended benefits, a vehicle, to buy a computer, pay for dates, internet connection, beer, weekend trips, or other extra expenses, it will run higher. It also depends on if you eat out or cook your own meals.

Do you need all of your money upfront when applying for a student visa in Canada?

Do you need all of your money upfront when applying for a student visa in Canada?
This is in relation to another question I asked. But my friend wants to go to school up here in Canada. And is curious how much money he is going to need. So when he applies for a student visa, does he need to have all of the money for his college courses upfront? In my friends case, does he need to have his money for 2 years of college(since thats all hes going to be taking) upfront when applying for a student visa?

YES he needs to show proof that he has sufficient money already in the bank to support himself while he is studying. tuition fees, books, rent, food, clothes, transportation, laundry, entertainment, and other expenditures. probably looking at least $2000 CAN per month - not counting the tuition fees. Fees usually need to be paid up front when you register or apply to a college. If he does not have sufficient money, he will be denied a study visa. If you plan on supporting him, well that may imply a dual intent - CIC thinks he will study, but then he will stay after he graduates because he will be staying with you. If you do offer a place for him to stay, then you must write a letter as if you were the landlady and he the roommate. He also needs to show proof that he will return home after he graduates.

no he does not, he only needs to show proof of fund for one year tuition plus living expenses. the more the better of course! but not necessary. sam nouri www.khorshid.ca

A child born in Canada is a citizen thereat. Thus, even when the parents are only possessing student visas, their child will be a Canadian citizen.
2 :
If your child is born in Canada, he or she is automatically entitled to citizenship and that means that they can have a Canadian passport. They will also have a Birth Certificate from the province they were born in.

There are a number of steps to follow. I have linked Citizenship and Immigration Canada which has full details: You need to be accepted at a Canadian school. Your need to show that you have enough money to pay for your tuition, your stay in Canada, and your trip back home. You must have a clean criminal record and be healthy. Immigration needs to be satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your studies.
