    Split-year Exchange - Cant get off campus work for whole summer?! :(

    You might be able to work off campus as of june 1st. No one knows yet how the new rules will affect students currently in Canada. However, the fact that you have to have STUDIED for 6 months before you can apply for an OCWP is nothing new. It is even clearly posted on the cic website.

    International student - first time tax filer

    Awesome guys! Thank you so much. They've actually extended the deadline thanks to the Heartbleed bug so it is now may 5th. I think that the advice of using an accountant this first time might be the one to follow. At least for now. Again, thanks! This helps a lot.

    Scholarsips

    Sorry, I have to correct you. Even my college offers scholarships for international students. You can apply after you have been accepted and they are very hard to get and very limited.

    Scholarsips

    It varies. You won't be able to apply for the scholarships before you're accepted. Make sure you have some volunteering to add to your resume.

    Regarding Resume and Letter of intent!!!

    This is the kind of job you have to do yourself. If you copy as much as one line you can get done for plagiarism. Schools and authorities here have access to software that checks those things. You are better off figuring it out for yourself. Use google and also use the search function here.

    Experience people in canada help me with tax returns

    It's going in to your bank account. You have to show where it comes from. You could be pinned for investigation of money laundering. I presume you should talk to an accountant and a tax attorney. Regina (member on here) seems to know a lot. There is also a forum on this board for tax questions.

    York University Shooting

    York is HUGE! I'm at Humber north which is fairly large but nowhere near as big as York. We have 24/7 on campus security. We have regular fire drills, lock down drills and we do get the occasional bomb-threat (for real) to which we have to evacuate the building. We also have plenty of false...
