Hello Rachel , thank you so much for your video.. nakakatulong talaga ito para sa pagmove namin dyan sa canada..

[@brunobarajas]

Hey, last year around Jan, I was accepted into UBC so I started watching your videos. They were very useful and very informative. It has been almost a year now since I came to Vancouver and I never said thank you. So, thank you and keep it up. You are doing very good job and the quality of the videos just keeps improving =). Although I am here now, I still watch your videos now and then, It gives me ideas of where I want to go eat or see. I got to ask. Where is the food place at 2:37 It looks very good!. Thanks

Besides purchasing cost, car ownership involves registration fee, insurance, and maintenance. Other provinces (non-BC) may have periodic safety inspection requirement by law. Many universities would charge students a fee for parking.

[@rrdancel]

Oooooh good catch, thanks for the assist on that one! 🤗

Can you talk about how international students can get a loan from canada (before arriving in order to pay for 1st semester) and all the details you know. Thanks!

[@josevich]

There's no such thing. You can't get a loan without any credit history in Canada

[@2Bautomaton]

@@josevich I think if its from a private lender

[@josevich]

@@2Bautomaton you can get your loan from your home country but not here in Canada. You need to show the canadian government that you can afford tuition and living expenses when you apply for a visa. Otherwise they will not give you a visa. No lender in Canada will grant a loan from people outside of Canada

[@xdemgeo3581]

If you come from the Philippines and go to Canada, you should definitely be loaded/rich. Canada is expensive. These youtubers come from wealth/families whose parents can afford to send their kids. Middle class people from the Philippines (with no existing relatives in Canada) couldn't afford Canada. You should at least be a millionaire (or multi-millionaire) here in the Philippines to be able to move there with no financial strain

[@rrdancel]

You are correct in that Canada is an expensive place because of the high cost of living. Generally speaking, countries with a high cost of living tend to have higher wages. Otherwise, citizens or residence of that country can not afford to live there. I guess, this somewhat answers your affordability statement. I would like to address your statement about “you should definitely be loaded/rich.” I mean, there are many foreign students here from the Philippines, India, China and other parts of the world that are not rich/loaded and are here. I have spoken to many of them. Some of them are from middle class families as well. I generally agree with you statement that you must have a minimum level of financial capability in order to come to Canada. This minimum level of income is more of a screening/filter use to accept or refuse applicants. Immigration Canada put this financial requirement in place to ensure that the applicant will not struggle financially when they are here in Canada. However, this financial requirement varies as it depends on each student’s circumstances (cost of living in chosen city and tuition fee). It can range from from $20,000 to $100,000 CAD or more.

Hi rachel, i like to study in canada from Philippines, will you share how did you start the process, who are you agent? thank you for your reply!

$100 CAD to fill up a tank of gas.

[@rrdancel]

Gas prices are not location dependant as it depends on world market price for gas. So, the price of gas should be roughly the same in Vancouver and other parts of the world that doesn’t produce gas or gets subsidies for gas. The only difference would be things like transportation cost of gas and local taxes that may affect the price.
