Overview

Capilano University is a top ranked Public University which is best part because it ticks all ypur aspirations of work permit to further PR, secondly the program NABU Applied gives you a co-op visa thats basically you will have 1 year of classes and 2nd year full time internship/job. Which again helps you gain points fot PGWP of 3 year . So, best program with all maximum benifit a international student might require to fulfill his aspirations.

Overview

Limited amount of film schools in Western Canada. Only about 4 in particularly in Vancouver where the film industry is most prevalent. Cheapest tuition (still very expensive) of all of the options available. The bonus was that the program included its own equipment and studio which allowed everyone to work on projects locally.

Overview

The university is Close to home, the admission process involves writing about volunteer and work experiences, extra-curricular activities. I had to write 2 essays. I graduated high school with an average above 95%. This was the only school I applied to as I knew I would get in and I planned to transfer out after a year or two.

Scholarship

I won a memorial scholarship valued at around two thousand dollars. I had to write an essay for it. I did not apply for any student loans as I have an RESP and I did not want to go into unnecessary debts as a result of taking out student loans.

Overview

In my case, I chose Capilano University to get transfer credits towards another institution since I have heard good things about their transfer program to other British Columbia universities, colleges.

Scholarship

During my process, I didn't ask for any scholarships or bursaries although there is a lot of opportunities for students with different criteria.
