Actually, no one like you goes above and beyond to have an interview with all these important people with key positions for helping others. This is brilliant! keep up the good work ;)
Ill do one good thing and one bad thing- Good was Loved how clear and precise the video was shown through real life examples in a concise manner, bad was a little stretch on the topic of a specific program in the university/colleges, could have been more focused in general topics and then could have gone specific. Overall- very specific and very informative video!
Your videos are super informative for a student like me in Toronto. I have been looking for the best cities I can settle once achieving my PR, and the way you briefly explained what living in Calgary is like made me start getting my life in order to make that move.
I was thinking the same and did that but now I moved back to Toronto and I am so much happier than I have been in Calgary but it differs for people all the way
To all the people looking at moving. Before you come out here, please please please understand we get like 8 months of winter; real winter; not west coast winter. It's bright sunny skies all day, but it's bitterly cold (-40 to -20 with occasional chinooks). During these winter months most people aren't going out to do things, there's a good chance you'll feel extremely isolated and alone. If you can steel yourself against these factors, you're golden. It does get old though much like how the west coasts dang-near semi-permanent overcast gets old.
Hi, Max! Thank you for this topic! This video is very insightful since I've been eyeing Alberta and Bow Valley College as one of my options. You made it easier for me to consider BVC or the schools mentioned in the video.
No, I work in residential construction here in Calgary. People are moving here from both in and out of country at way too high of a rate. Builders cant keep up which has caused many to use bad materials, bad workers, and usually a combination of both. Tons of defects, crazy high housing prices now and traffic way worse than jt was 2-4 years ago. We need some time to catch up.
Incredible, i thought of Alberta as a province like Saskatchewan but it is more developed and vibrant, thinking of making my profile ready for the SAIT school, thank you Max.
Confirming Calgary is the best place to live, enjoy nature, grow kids, and love the vibrant energy here. This is the second time one is single, and now with my complete family, I will be here forever. I am studying at SAIT and to be honest, is a huge and enormous difference in the quality of education. I just love this place
Calgarian here. If you're determined to come to Canada, Calgary is a great option. It's cheaper than Toronto and Vancouver but it's not an inexpensive City. Its also, very cold here in the Winter. Immigration is always welcome here but make sure your ready for the cold and the cost of living when you get here.
Insanely informative! It’s great to hear how much the government and schools care about the lives of international students. Especially hearing it from a government official strengthens the trust in all the positive things that were mentioned. Love it!
Hey Max! I've been your viewer since very long I can't thank you enough for all those informative vedios that u provide us (international students) I want u to suggest me any college in calgary which is best for diploma in finance studies . Thanks in advance ☺️ !!
working as a nurse in AHS is not the most rewarding tbh. You deal with a lot of BS from gov't cutting their budgets yet adding more work. Hospitals are running thin on nurses, my unit is short of 1 or 2 nurses every day.
Calgary is expensive, the fact it is slightly less so in comparison to huge price hikes in the rest of Canada over the last decade dosen't make it less so. Unemployment is high, cost of living is high, we don't share the same definition of culture, cost of studying is very high, Banff is so expensive Albertans can't even afford to visit it! I'm all for promoting the region, but do it in a honest and balanced way.
Nice one Max, from your interview housing is cheaper in Calgary, but cost of education is as expensive as it is in Toronto & Vancouver. The only shortfall in your video is you did not mention if the wages in Calgary are better or worse than those of Vancouver and Toronto.
But the good jobs in Calgary are not stable. If you’re in the energy industry, which is a major employer, count on having to change your job/layoffs every couple years or so. The place can also be too much right wing for some people. Consider all pros and cons before moving.
@@donaldonyibe6326 from my experience a decade ago, they are somewhat stable in comparison. But many medical workers left during covid due to high stress.
Do not recommend BVC at all for IT or software. It's all show. SAIT is where the gold is. Education difference is massive and worth the money for sure!
@@ImCanada Yes really. I was in the first batch when they started a whole new department for IT and software. Not sure if this is marketing strategy but, SAIT is much better out of experience during studying and after when applying for jobs
Hi Max, could you make a video of what you think about Kamloops, BC. Or at least could you give me your thoughts on life in Kamloops and BC as a whole. I got accepted into Thompson Rivers University, Kamloops.
Hi Max! Your videos are the best! I would like to ask your opinion if which schools in AB is best for one like me who is planning to take up Early Childhood Education. Thanks a lot for what you do!
Thank you for making this video. I’ve always connected with Calgary and everything the city has to offer. Unfortunately Canadian immigration won’t invite me to move out there 😭 Looks like I’ll just have to stay here in Australia and wonder what if for the rest of my life 😢
Some of the students from India were under huge stress from their families and financial burdens. Their parents borrowed money to send them to Canada. There was news reports of this situation on the internet.
I currently live and work in Winnipeg but thinking of moving to Calgary after I get my Canadian citizenship. Also I finished school in Winnipeg under business related program. Hopefully ill find a job when I plan my move.
As much as I agree that Calgary is amazing, it’s also one of the big two in Alberta and Alberta itself is like a lot of farm states in America in terms of culture
My agent recommended red deer pol and also bow valley, do you think bow valley is really good for an international student like me going for a diploma?
I have never seen such a beautiful detailed but concise content. This video changed my mind. I was worried about which city I should choose and after this video now i know what my targeted city is in Canada as a student.
Well done! However, not everyone wants a big urban center. Check this out! 40 Incredible Reasons (in colour) Why I Live Where I Do...in Cochrane, Alberta, Canada. (Parts 1 & 2) Two slideshow/videos with music on the town, 25kms west of Calgary. Some of these photos will blow you away!
In my opinion, Vancouver is still the best city in Canada, and in terms of opportunity, Toronto is still much better. Calgary is a good city, but there is less opportunity. It's more affordable than Vancouver or Toronto, but if you can't find a job, what's the point?
A young immigrant who moves to Vancouver or Toronto is doing Canada wrong. Much better wages and lower cost of living in places like Edmonton, Saskatoon and Calgary.
Hey max, After watching this video I really want to go calgary for my studies. But can I get PR with my 2 years diploma course? And I have Seen some reviews that says Bow valley college is really bad. what you have to say about it and can you please tell me about AMB college in calgary. Thank you so much for your time
Hi! Yes, in Alberta PR pathways for students are quite good. In terms of reviews, I heard only positive stuff, I think it depends on the person and their expectations
Interesting video. Planning to study at NAIT in edmonton. Quite similar to SAIT but in Edmonton. Can you do a video or analysis over there in Edmonton ?
Awesome video. Thanks so much for highlighting LGBT international student experiences! And also for bringing up the mental health crisis among international students. Max always keeping it real!!
The Bahen Centre for Information Technology building of University of Toronto is infamous. Several students jumped to their deaths despite barriers installed at upper floors.
I kind of don't like videos like this because than people are going to come to Calgary and screw up our favorable situation just like how people from Toronto spread to the Maritimes and destroyed their housing economy for locals.
Calgary has highest unemployment rate, crazy rent prices, not enough jobs, transit sucks and crime is increasing. Do not fall for this trap. Theres a reason people go to Toronto and Vancouver. Dont listen to these people who make business out of education and just want your course fees.
3 months later, -due to real estate speculation, amount of ppl moving to the city, immigrants and Canadians, the rent has skyrocket as the food prices, Calgary is no longer a good place to live.
Hi, I would like to go for a post graduate diploma in international relations in Calgary. Can you recommend any school that offers this course for 2years and also pgwp?
Student-Based Immigration is a revenue-generating collaboration between the Govt and the Universities. Home students enrolments are fast decreasing as demand for university degrees is dwindling. International Student Immigration is a cash cow for these dying schools.
Hi Max, thanks for your video! I want to study business in Canada after graduating from university, which city is more recommended, Calgary or Halifax?
hi Max, will you recommend University of Calgary for an international students who want to pursue their masters degree? How easy it is to obtain permanent residency in Alberta?
