Friendly faculty and peers.
Tips: There is a cultural shift, but it's positive. Coming from India, the shift only added skills to my personality. I'm fully satisfied with McGill, my course and Canada. It's true that Canadians are nice people and Canada offers a safe, civil and great environment to immigrate to, minus the cold, but otherwise, it's a great country.
Likes (Post study jobs): Students who have studied here get rewarded with a reputation when they apply for jobs. I am not aware if companies sponsor visas, but there are other routes where you don't need sponsorship. All jobs are available based on your study programme, and the salary range is broad. In most cases, your job application gets shortlisted, and the rest is up to your skills to actually get an offer. It's easily doable, and be mindful that Canada is a bilingual country; if you speak French, that makes you a more lucrative candidate for both jobs and immigration.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The process is long but worth it. Because my LL.M. programme was a full-time 45-credit course, I got 3 years postgraduation work permit. During this time, I cleared my bar exams to practice law in Ontario, Canada. After one year of Canadian work experience, my CRS score was good enough to apply for Permanent Residence (PR). I got an invitation to apply for PR in my second year of work permit. Two years after holding a PR and living in Canada, you are typically good to apply for citizenship as per the current rules and regulations. Canada has been actively revising immigration rules, so anybody who is relying on my note, I would suggest please cross-verify the rules by visiting the IRCC website.

It is for your dream come true university.
Tips: When I came to McGill University, things were a bit different. Montreal's mix of cultures was interesting. At first, it was a bit strange, but I liked learning about new traditions, foods and celebrations. Being part of McGill's diverse community has made my time here more colourful and exciting.
Likes (Public transportation): Getting around McGill University is pretty convenient with good public transportation. The system connects well with the rest of the city, making it easy to move around and affordable. The weather is generally nice but if you plan to work in the long run, having your own vehicle like a car, might come in handy.
Dislikes (Student Life): Life as a student at McGill University is a mix of studies and some chill time. The campus in Montreal is cool with open space to relax during break. I am not much into events because I am busy and there are not many specific student clubs. It's a laid-back vibe. But I have found my own routine.

Good student life with the McGill's MBA.
Tips: It is a pretty intensive course and it requires long hours. French language is not necessary. But it’s fun to learn from professors and guest speakers. The fall semester is the hardest with maximum number of subjects in one semester and it is pretty fast paced as well.
Likes (Student Life): Safe environment for students. Clean and quiet places around the campus are there to sit and study. Study rooms for group study in library as well as in the department building are there. Special care is given for the physical and mental well being of students. A lot of fun events are organized on almost every weekend.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Less options for Indian cuisine are available, but a great place for people who are interested in trying different cuisines. Plenty of affordable eateries near the campus are available as well, although you can find good Indian restaurants outside downtown and they are pretty cheap as well.
