Tips: When I moved to another country, things changed a lot. People, customs, and everything were different from what I knew. It was interesting to learn about this new culture, even though it was sometimes difficult. Eventually, I got used to how things were done there and began to enjoy the special traditions, food, and celebrations. It was a big chance, but it made me see the world in a whole new way and gave me lots of new experiences.

Likes (Public transportation): Using public transportation here has been quite good. It connects well with the rest of the city, and it's not too expensive. The weather is nice too. But if you plan to work in the long term, you might find it handy to have your own vehicle, like a car.

Dislikes (Indian Food): In Canada, especially in Toronto, homemade Indian food can be expensive. That's why I often choose traditional or local fast food options. I suggest buying groceries and cooking your own meals to get what you want. It can be a fun very cheap way to enjoy your favourite dishes.

Great, academically oriented university to study from but expensive.

Tips: In the beginning, you would feel a big cultural shock as the place and its education are quite different from that in India. But, you would find many people from India and all around the world who are willing to talk, know about you and share their experiences. However, once the years progress you will feel a sense of competition which is a good thing, as everyone becomes more aware and concerned about their future. Also, the university provides us opportunities to experience and learn about several different fields and sub-fields of study in the giant universe of ECE, where each sub-field could have a different career path. The university also has resources like ECC and others to help you prepare for the jobs, but securing a job is quite difficult in my field of study, especially at this economic phase. Regarding the scholarships, I didn't receive any and many of my international friends didn't either. Most scholarships require you to be a Canadian citizen or PR but there are exceptions and few international students do get the scholarships. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my university, course and country.

Likes (Quality of faculty): I think the faculty is quite easy to access and approach and is highly knowledgeable in their concepts and field of study. There is more focus on hands-on learning through practicals than most other colleges though the weightage of it towards the overall course grade is usually few, they prefer to put more weightage towards written exams. In terms of diversity, you would find teaching faculty coming from all around the globe, China, Egypt, India, Pakistan, Switzerland, and so many others.

Dislikes (Part time work): I think it is easy to find a part-time job in this area but doing a part-time job while studying is quite difficult for an undergrad ECE student at UofT. Most technical courses are workload-heavy with several lengthy assignments which spare little to no free time. Maybe for Masters, the picture would be different.
