Also, it can get fairly hot, as it is right now. It can be extremely cold, or fairly hot, and often with few days in between. Be prepared.
I’m living in Canada and I actually just took advantage of the free osap program for college. That’s only available for students in Ontario though.
I am planning to move to Canada in near future. It's a great tolerant country with a lot of opportunities.
I love visiting Canada. Been to Vancouver and Victoria several times. Hope you get to go up and study. Should be a lot of information online about how to do it. Good luck! I think you're very lucky to have this opportunity.
