How familiar are you with the Canadian education system and what professors expect from you?

I haven't researched it yet. I'm assuming it's similar to my home country. I know it emphasizes participation, but I'm not sure how much it affects my grade. I understand continuous assessment, class participation matters, and independent learning is key. I fully understand the grading breakdown, participation expectations, and have a study strategy ready.

Have you secured accommodation in Canada, and do you have a realistic budget for your entire study period?

Not yet. I'm still figuring out where I'll live and how much it will cost. I've looked at options, but I haven't booked anything or calculated total costs. I have a general idea of costs and I'm considering a few accommodation options. I have accommodation secured or reserved, and I've calculated total annual costs including tuition, housing, and living expenses.

How prepared are you to build a support network and navigate campus resources?

I'm planning to focus mainly on studies. Making friends and using resources can wait. I know support services exist, but I haven't connected with other students yet. I've joined some online groups and know about writing centers and tutoring services. I'm already connected with other international students, I know which campus resources to use, and I have a plan to build my support network immediately upon arrival.

What's your understanding of study permit requirements and Canadian winter preparedness?

I haven't looked into permit details or winter conditions yet. I know I need a study permit and Canada gets cold, but I haven't researched specifics. I understand permit requirements like work hour limits and I know I need winter clothing. I know all permit conditions, work restrictions, have a winter wardrobe plan, and understand cultural expectations in Canada.
