    dropping a course implications (fulltime to part time)

    I'm an OCD A+ student, I fear of seeing a C or below on my transcript. Hypothetically, if I fail this course (though I stay full-time until the end of the term), I will be unaffected for future PGWP? It's a required course and I plan to re-take it in the future.

    How do I build credit history in Canada?

    I spoke with RBC months ago about possibly obtaining a credit card. I wasn't allowed to get a normal credit card as I have 0 credit history in Canada. She told me if I gave RBC $1,000 as collateral I could get this other kind of credit card from them. At the moment, I didn't have an extra $1,000...

    Working with Study Permit Limitations Question

    Well, honestly, I have a 15 (possibly 20 soon) hour job off campus and I was looking for another job, so if I took a small one on-campus, it wouldn't mess with the legal rules? That's all I really wanted to know. Thanks :)
