just come from Calgary

seanchow

I just come from Calgary.I stayed there from Feb09 to Feb 20.There are very nice residents there.If you want to come back to China in several years,you  would better not land Calgary. : ),For you will be fooled by everyone in China.
For I got helpful information in the site B4.
If anyone has any question, I will give an answer as possible as I can.

The important tips:
1.If you want to go to college/university/school with free fee,you should save the most of your money in safety deposit box in bank instaead of the account after yr landing.
2.If you  just take a short landing ,you would better make a English-assessment appointment b4 yr landing,and you will be assessed right after you land Calgary.
Assessment Centre tel:1-403-262-2656
3.If you want to get drive licence (G7)in a shortest periad,you should study the <<Basic licence Driver's Handbook>> and take the practice Class 7 Test online.

I have just viewed the website of bowvalleycollege. Do you have some idea about this college? If I don't enter the LINC, can I go directly to this college to take the Diploma course, and get some reduction on the tuition fee? BTW, Is the marketing/sales diploma of any use?

Dear sir
For your first precious tip with regards to schooling I quote here
"1.If you want to go to college/university/school with free fee,you should save the most of your money in safety deposit box in bank instaead of the account after yr landing.
"
You suggested those who want to enter colleges or universities not put money in their bank accounts and put in security box. Would u pl tell us that what the maximum amount of money showing in ones accounts is, I mean not affect one` application for free schooling education, and how to start ones  bank safety deposit box, is it complicated?
