I live in Alicante , a city in south spain warm and chill, but with no future perspective for me as a mechanical engineer. I emigrated here about 1.5 years ago and find it very hard to find job so I was thinking about moving to an English speaking country. Last month I was accepted for a master degree in Canada that I am really interested in. They are giving me partial funding for living and I am really into the subject (although it is very hard).
All looks fine until I realized that the Laval university is a french speaking university and I was really stressed out about it. My advisor told me there are english courses and I connected to some students and told me although you will pass the courses but learning french is compulsory.
I am struggling with Spanish right now, I always had a dream of learning more languages but it could be hard for me while studying. Anyway, I am accepted for a university in Quebec city which is mostly french speaking. I know I can pass some basic courses in French but becoming advanced is a problem. I don’t know what to do.
Accepting the offer opens door for me in mechanical engineering and my future job but I have to learn french.
Rejection is an option but I was dreaming about this position and I can’t simply let it go.
Can you share your experience of living in Quebec city or generally Canada?? How is job market for mechanical/chemical engineering? I think foreign students from Laval university can help me the most with sharing their experience.
I appreciate any advices in advance.

Dear reddit community,
Next year I will hopefully begin my PhD studies at a Canadian university. However, I already have finished a PhD in another field. The reasons for doing a second PhD are to complicated to explain them here. My question is: While doing this second PhD, am I allowed to work as a teaching- and research-assistant? Or do universities have any laws, which say that a PhD holder can only take postdoc positions but no assistantships?
Thank you and best regards!

I am currently applying for an M.Sc. at McGill. Does anyone happen to know the deadline for the reference letters? I couldn't find this information anywhere, another post speculated that there's a two week buffer zone. Had anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks!
Hi all!
I am currently working on my undergraduate honours thesis. My survey is available on the universities participation pool website in exchange for class credit. We are aiming for 600 participants, however, there has recently been a decline in student participation. My timeline is limited and we are concerned that we will not reach the amount of participants we're aiming for. We currently have 20 responses and only one month left for data collection.
I am aware of online platforms that allow for the use of their participation pool with purchase. The issue is, I have a specific target sample (Canadian undergraduate students) and only personal funding (which is limited) for purchasing responses. I am curious if anyone has any suggestions for additional participant recruitment methods.
Thank you so much!
Im really confused on what to do after grad I really regret my undergrad should have done nursing but instead did health sci ; realized first year health sci that i couldnt do chem for shi so switched to pysch. The orignal plan was optometry in the states that def cant happen anymore bcs I messed up my first year , Im now in third year doing good just confused on what to do after grad.I just wanna be able to make money to support my family after all this. I shadowed for physiotherapy because only physio and anatomy are needed but idk its not really my thing. Audiolgy is also an optio but i heard the pay is terrible.

I am really worried as it's almost difficult to get into canadian uni for masters with low cgpa. In my case am in last semester of software eng with a current cgpa of 2.4/4, from one of the top tier of uni of pakistan COMSATS. As the grading in my uni is different as comapred to other uni's in pak. We have a 4 gpa on getting 90 marks as compared 85 in other uni's. Also we have absolute marking. So my question here could i apply for masters in canada with this cgpa or i have to improve my cgpa by improving my subjects. For this i have to go with extra 9th semester. I am also confused in this by taking extra this will effect my degree as well as my chances for applying in canada for masters

In the 2021/2022 academic year, Indigenous students represented approximately 5% of students newly admitted to programs offering the five main postsecondary educational qualifications (career, technical or professional training certificate; career, technical or professional training diploma; undergraduate degree; master’s degree; and doctoral degree). This latest release on new entrants to postsecondary education provides the number of new students in Canada by Indigenous identity, educational qualification, field of study, age group and gender.
Here are some highlights:

Hi folks, my name is Jai Hardy, I am a Research Coordinator at Sheridan College, and along with my Research Supervisor, Bethany Osborne, we are doing a research study on student usage of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Tools in higher education here in Canada. The purpose of the study is to understand how students currently attending higher education in Canada interact with AI in assignments and evaluation, focusing on ethical versus unethical uses. A better understanding of how students in Canada are interacting with this emerging technology in higher education will help to shape the future development guidelines and practices that prioritize ethical AI use in higher education, ultimately aiming to prepare students for a successful future in an AI-influenced world.
We are seeking current students enrolled in Canadian higher education such as College, University, or Private Career College to complete an anonymous online survey that should take 10-15 minutes of your time, participation is voluntary. Any questions about participating should be directed to either co-investigator. The results of the study will be shared in an aggregate manner with no identifying information. If you're interested in taking part, click on this link for more details and to fill out the survey, or scan the QR code.
Please feel free to share this information along with the attached poster and link to the survey to anyone you know attending a Canadian higher education institute who might be interested participating in this anonymous study.

I have never felt like this in my life, but I am having a full-on existential crisis about what to do. I live in Vancouver Canada and I was accepted to McGill, Western, Queens, UVic and SFU all for a bachelor of arts in Psychology I'm waiting for back from my #1 choice, UBC....
I got into SFU with a $40,000 scholarship but I'm worried I do not like the school... So that in itself is a problem. I feel like I don't like the architecture and the students tend to be very introverted/awkward there for some reason. But, at that school, I want to switch from psychology to either labour studies or economics.
If I go into economics I will have a way better career trajectory and more lucrative opportunities + I decently enjoyed economics in high school, however, university economics is way harder of course. I am usually really bad with numbers and I am currently only getting a 60% in Foundations 11 and 12 while all my other courses are generally 90%-100%. The good thing is I can switch to Economics first year because they don't have a pre-calculus prerequisite like other schools do, but they have Calculus 1 for social sciences which frightens me + the other hard math courses. I would need to maintain a high GPA to maintain the scholarship too.
If I go into Labour Studies, I feel as if I will enjoy my degree a lot. I enjoy the courses they offer and it looks interesting to me, but I will be pigeonholed to HR-type jobs and I won't make a lot of money. I want to be financially set and even wealthy, and the absolute most I could make would be $200,000 if I got this degree and my masters in Industrial Organizational Psychology.
Or I could throw away the scholarship and SFU entirely and do Psychology at a higher-ranking school such as McGill or Queens....
Overall, I want to make the right decision and I want to do well for myself financially. I am freaking out so badly I can't eat. Even if there are any degrees I have never heard of that you think might be good for me, just let me know anything. If you have any suggestions please let me know it would be appreciated more than words can say. Thank you!
