Dear Sir/Madam,

I understand your concerns about the overwhelming amount of information available online and the potential for misleading information. Pursuing higher education abroad, especially in a country like Canada, can be a significant investment and requires careful planning and preparation.

To begin with, it's important to research and shortlist universities in Canada that offer a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering and fit within your budget. It's also essential to ensure that your son meets the eligibility requirements for admission, which typically include academic qualifications and language proficiency.

In terms of funding, the cost of studying in Canada can vary depending on the university, program, and location. It's crucial to calculate the estimated expenses, including tuition fees, living expenses, healthcare insurance, and any additional costs, to determine the required funds. You can also explore scholarship opportunities available for international students in Canada.

Additionally, it's recommended to seek guidance from a reliable education consultant who can assist you with the application process, visa requirements, and other important details. They can also provide insights into the student experience in Canada and help your son prepare for life abroad.

I hope this information helps, and I wish your son the best of luck in pursuing his higher education goals in Canada. To know you can go through with link: https://www.4sstudyabroad.com/study-in-canada/

Thank you dear for sharing useful tips, will follow your advise

Thank you very much for the advise, will inquire with CAN

snakyy21: UVIC is a short form of?

I have already started researching for my brother and found "College of North Atlantic" and planning to visit their branch in Qatar to inquire about more details. but not sure about the reputation.

UBC is alright... NAIT... not so much.

My strong suggestion is to do a research.. in fact your son should do it himself... take a list of canadian universities and then create a table and insert all the relevant information by reading each and every program info on the web.. in other words go to each site separately and gather info such as tuition, entry requirements, co-op.... etc etc... then rate the programs and apply to those he likes.

Without doing a research my advice would be to apply to UVIC... for the following reasons... 1. good egineering school, 2 affordable, 3 strong co-op, 4. beautiful and safe city.

UBC is good too... but it is expensive particularly for international students due to tuition differential.... and pls pls pls.. dont waste your money on intermediaries or so called consultants... do it yourself.. most of them accept on-line application or email application.

Good luck !!
