need advice on choosing a program/university!

[mari2210]

i'm currently enrolled in an undergraduate program in my country and i want to study abroad in canada. i would like to take a short course in 2023, months between may and september are the best for me, and my field is communication/media/marketing.
the thing is i'm not sure how i should be looking for programs, i don't actually know much about canadian universities and the admission process. i'm also looking for a scholarship if possible but again i have no idea how i should be approaching this. so if anyone can help me with that by maybe giving me inside info about universities or advice on which universities i should look into (i'm not sure about cities either, i like vancouver and victoria but that's not a deal breaker) it would help me very very much!

Try looking for Uni in these places and the courses they offer. You have to do the research on your own, try to invest some time to this as no one except you knows the best about your situation.

thank you for responding! that's what i'm doing right now. i was just wondering if people who are already studying in canada could give me any specific insights but you're right, i need to research on my own

Assume a scholarship won't be possible for such a short term program.

Look for continuous education (CE) programs at universities that you are interested in attending.

Note that you won't be able to work in Canada while taking a short term program so you'll need to have enough funds yourself to cover tuition and living expenses.

The vast majority of people here are taking long programs (diploma / degree) so I expect you won't get much feedback here since your aim is a four month program.
