ur profile is good .....the only problem is u cannot pay off ur tution or pay off loan while ur studying.....u can only manage to pay ur living expenses during ur studies.....paying off loan is a difficult task so be well informed before u make any decision.

Thanx bro. I appreciate and would surely consider these facts as well. Actually if I cud manage my expenses by my own it gonna surely reduce the burden.

But the main question is still there. Should I go for spring without a second thought in my mind?

well as admission stand point i dont think there is any difference or drawback in spring ..but if u go for fall u can complete 6 months of ur studies and get OCWP just in time for summer (u can work more in summer) if u join in spring u cannot work for the first summer u however can work second summer....if u go for spring i suggest u take classes in first summer.....

there r 3 semesters ..i believe for all universities fall sem sept-dec, winter sem jan-may, summer sem may-aug roughly months may vary......almost all universities have summer semester as optional......
 
It won't be possible to clear off the loan while studying
 
sksincanada said:
Oh.. If I take a loan of INR 20 lakhs.. Any chances if I could repay even the half of it.
no u cannot pay any loan or tution fees ....u can start paying loan after 1 year of job i think (making installments)....
 
You can only be able to pay loan when you're on Post graduation work permit.
So better prepare yourself with this reality.

Bro there are no programs for electrical, electronics or telecommunications field in the Memorial and Northern BC. Can you suggest few more Universities with low tuition.
Here is my updated list.
1. Victoria
2. Saskatchewan
3. Regina
 
Of those three choices, have a good look into U Vic. I did my nursing degree there. It is a lovely university, nice size, short distance to downtown Victoria which is a lovely city and the capital of BC. Weather in Victoria is gentle and you will save on clothing as you will only need waterproof boots and jackets compared to -40C winter wear. Summers are sunny and temperate, too. Good luck.
