Canadian Soc anyone?

Hi! I'm from Scarborough/Toronto studying in Bristol 2012 for Law! Just wanted to pop in and say hi to everyone. Feel free to ask me questions about Toronto/Canada; have lived here 90% of my life, haha.

Wow, so many Canadians going to the UK for uni!! How hard was it to get into a university there?

1. Education -> Qualification Date -- Is this the date I started my Ontario Secondary School Diploma or completed it? Date Qualification is obtained; so the date you will be completed your OSSD

2. Education -> Result -- What does 'Completed Qual' mean? Completed qualification.

3. Education -> Module / Unit 1 -- Do I just fill these out with my top grade 12 marks + pre-requisites? Yes, although some universities may wish you for to include all your high school marks; email their admissions advisers to clarify.

4. Do I only need to submit my grade 12 marks + my grade 12 pre-requisites? Each of my universities only needs 6 university or university/college marks totalling an average of 90%. Then only enter your grade 12 marks if that's what they're seeking.

5. Will schools that base acceptance on grade 12 marks not accept me because of poor grade 11 marks? Depends what poor is; obviously this is highly subjective.

6. Can I apply to Oxford/Cambridge with OSSD marks? Do they look at grades 9 - 12 or just 12? Yes you can apply. Again, it is my understanding most schools want to see all your marks from 9-12, not merely your 12 marks, but do contact the college at Oxbridge that you're interested in for further information and guidance.

Best of luck on your applications.

Easy

Always thought/heard of the opposite,
are the uni/living expenses pretty high?

Does anyone know what are the chances of getting your student visa denied?

I have secured enough funding for my year, is there anything else I need to bear in mind?

Is it ill advised to buy my flight ticket now without getting my visa approved first?

Im asking this because my start date is 27th Sept 2012 and the ticket prices for my flight are increasing fast!
I would have bought my ticket 2 months ago at $350 but I'm waiting for the university to issue my CAS# and now it is $550 for the flight.

I read the criteria and they say things most likely to cause visa denial is lack of funds.

I, like a few others, didn't do so hot in grade 11 because it doesn't matter for Canadian universities. I'd prefer not to include these marks unless asked.

Thanks!

it's rather unlikely that you'll get rejected if your application was complete and fulfill their requirements.

When did you submit your visa application? You shouldn't be worried if it has only been a week or two.

As long as you have all your Ps and Qs in order in your application, it's highly unlikely it'd be rejected.
