Hi all, I'm new to this forum ( In fact, I've just registered). I am a 17 and a half y/o male living in Lebanon. I always dreamed of living in Canada. ow in my final year in high school reality kicked in. My family's income is average, and I already have a sister in college LAU (Lebanese american University- 13 000$/year One of the best in the country). I informed my parents about the colleges I wished to attend, but they said it was out of the question and too expensive. I have googled the cheapest universities in Canada for international students and found:
- MUN: almost 17 000 Canadian $---- without accommodation almost 10 500 Canadian $
My parents are willing to send me to a university in my country (Lebanon), but they think that studying in Canada is a waste of their money ( They believe that universities in Lebanon offer the same or even better post-secondary education than Canada)
The accommodation prices are really frustrating and I am willing to share an apartment off campus ( even the smallest)
I am a hard worker, I got a summer job at the age of (14 till 17) while my friends partied and went to the beach. I worked in a warehouse for 8.5 hours a day for 18$ per day.
I really prefer living under pressure and studying under pressure.
I have relatives in Canada, but they are unable to sponsor me ( immigration), nor can they afford me living with them
I am REALLY INTERESTED IN STUDENT LOANS
Btw I want to get into Finance and/or management
My questions are :
1- Can I work for 1 or 2 years in my country after I graduate high school ( earn money for college), and still be legible for admissions for universities in Canada?
2- What are the Cheapest, and I mean cheeeaaaapest universities in Canada for INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS?
3- Can I still apply for a student visa after 1-2 years of graduating from high school?
4- Can I take a student loan without having to pay anything, and I mean anything for tuition? Of course I will pay my debts after graduating... ( I know)
5- Should I just give up and study in my country or is it much more rewarding to study in Canada?
6- Can I get a job off-campus after directly arriving to Canada?
7- Is going to a university in Canada going to help me and speed up my quest of perminant residency in Canda?
8- Should I study and get a job (experience) in my country, and then apply for a visa??? ( What are my chances of getting accepted )
9- WHAT ARE THE BEST CHANCES AND CHOICES FOR ME TO GO TO CANADA?
I am so sorry for this long post, but as you see I am really out of options.
I will certainly stick around on this forum, please don't hesitate on contacting me if you want.
Your help is very appreciated.
