The university has good academics and a vibrant student life.
Tips: Students should know about the course completely, like what the things are going to be covered, as it will help them to understand the modules easily, and they can arrange their timetable accordingly. Regarding Scholarship, I haven't availed any scholarship, so there was no allowance. The quality of the faculty was good. The professors focused more on critical thinking. They helped us during assignments and were accessible and approachable. They were happy to explain things even if we asked multiple times. In addition to this, the professors used presentation slides and real life examples. I spend most of my day doing assignments and attending lectures. The college organizes many events, cultural, community, and sports events, helping students from different nationalities come together. Overall, I am highly satisfied with my experiences.

Downtown Excellence in the heart of Montreal.
Tips: I am satisfied with my university, Concordia University. It has a large, modern infrastructure, and the professors are friendly. I love the cultural diversity of Montreal, but my course is quite challenging. I am not sure about the country as a whole, because I have not had the opportunity to travel to other provinces. So far, I like Montreal. If you are considering Concordia University, be aware that French is important, and you should be open to learning a new language. The Quebec government provides free French language classes. Also, scholarships are available for undergraduate students, but scholarships for graduate students are only available to Canadian citizens.
Likes (Public transportation): You have to buy and recharge your STM card i.e., opus card for students, which costs around $60/month. With this card, you can travel on all local buses and the metro. It's easy and useful, and one card is enough to travel anywhere in Montreal. It's very convenient.
Dislikes (Part time work): As a fresher, I found it difficult to get a part-time job, especially at the front desk, because I didn't know French well enough. In this province, most people speak French, and you have to be bilingual knowing French and English to get a job. I had to learn French at an intermediate level before I could get a job.

Great and diverse opportunity for everyone.
Tips: Students should be prepared to work hard at Concordia University. International students might find some courses a bit tough. Don't be shy about asking basic questions; everyone here is quite helpful. I got my doctoral stipend, which includes TA, RA, and a scholarship and that's around 25K Dollars/year. Although the economic situation in the country is falling from what it was 5 years ago.
Likes (Post study jobs): Every graduate I know got a high-paying job in Canada or abroad. In the teaching field, there are many multinational companies that hire freshers, and there are many internship opportunities as well. However, the part-time job market is declining nowadays.
Dislikes (Safety): Due to recent violent anti-Israel protests, there was a fire in an old port and a murder on one of the campuses. The authorities are fast to act but for a peaceful city like Montreal, this is rare. I hope people can voice their concerns peacefully. Also due to the easy availability of drugs and alcohol crimes are rising too.

I feel good in this university. I got 8 months internship also I learned many skills from my field.
Tips: I am fully satisfied with this university. Because I learned many skills in my field. Moreover university provide us free laptop, I-pad, and calculator for 1-2 days. Which is a good thing for international students. Also, I like overall all the facilities provided by the university such as Moodle to get subject details.
Likes (Student Life): I am spending more than 6-7 hours a day in the university. I like to meet my friends and make new connections. People potatoes provide us free food that I like most. GSA are 2 community for students who organise many events for getting jobs, internships, reviewing resumes and many more events.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I will definitely take PR in this country. Here it is not easy to get PR in Quebec. For that reason, I started to learn French language to get province PR. In other provinces we need more points to get PR eg.550 plus. I have work experience in India so it's easy to get PR.

Montreal Insights: Learn French. Overall good student experience.
Tips: Before joining Concordia students should be aware of the language preference in QC. Here French is mandatory. On arriving, I experienced a cultural shift due to the prevalence of French in daily life. I did not secure any scholarship because the scholarship is available only for researchers and Ph.D. candidates.
Likes (Safety): Throughout Canada, Montreal is one of the safest places for immigrants. People are generally polite and friendly. The police force is really good if you know French, they are always patrolling the area near the downtown. This place is ideal if you have the basics of French and if you are willing to learn French.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Montreal, particularly QC, has its challenges for permanent settlement. French proficiency is crucial for obtaining PR and the region has notable issues like inflation, housing crises and high tax labs which can impact one's financial outlook. Consider these factors while you select this particular province for higher education.

Tips to surviving in a French province.
Tips: Quebec is a French speaking province. It would be beneficial from the viewpoint of both a temporary resident and getting a permanent residency to at least learn b1 level French before coming here. However, there are government-affiliated classes here too.
Likes (Part time work): Being a downtown campus there are tons of places offering part-time work and getting around the city by public transport is pretty easy and cheap(only $58 for a monthly pass and it works for the bus and metro) making it easier to look for jobs a bit away from downtown too.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are a few Indian restaurants around the neighbourhood since it is a downtown campus. However, among vegetarian options, they offer very few choices. I usually prefer to cook my own meals at home. There are several Indian grocery stores so it is easy to get veggies and masalas.
