Please conduct research before selecting any colleges or universities.
Tips: I did not like the atmosphere of the college at all, the people around me and also the faculty. I mean it is not worth it when we talk about tuition feels we paid for the education. The course was good but if you do not find right faculty with the proper knowledge of the area, eventually you dissatisfied with the course.
Likes (Public transportation): Most of the times I traveled via public transportation which was very accessible from my home to the college. The available mode of public transportation is buses connecting the city and subways. It is affordable and convenient, it costs around 120$ CAD per month.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The only reason to rate 3 on quality of faculty is sometimes they do not have enough knowledge to teach and guide us. Still, they are giving us lectures on that particular subject. There was no practical knowledge regarding subjects or any field of area.

Small college and average facilities.
Tips: This is a very small college and around here there are only and only Indians. Everywhere I go wherever I see I can only see Indians so feels like a mini Punjab college. If you just want to come to Canada for the sake of coming here and there is no other college that is giving an offer then come here otherwise the degree will not make any difference. Part time jobs are available and a student can take care of his/her needs but don't miss out on the big picture.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Many students from India are coming to Canada and everyone wants a job and a PR. Earlier there were many jobs but now not that much. Some countries like Norway, Netherlands and other European nations are better options now. As much as I have heard it is good to have some corporate connections now in Canada which will help you with getting the job.

Good college with a small campus
Tips: Currently Canadian job market is not very forthcoming keep a note of that. While studying in the university take part in other extra-curricular activities so that you'll have other skills that will give you leverage over others. In culture, Canada is good and there are no difficulties as such encountered by students. Language is not something to worry about neither is culture. This college is good but the campus is a bit small. If you have other options look out for them too. However academically Salt is also good.
Likes (Indian Food): You will find the best butter chicken. If you are from Punjab or North India food lovers nothing will be missed here. Prices are also fair and dining out here is good as compared to other countries where you have limited food options from India. I have had a chance to dine with people from India here in their houses and I have enjoyed it the most.
Dislikes (Safety): Canada if taken as a whole is very safe particularly for Indians. It is home away from home there are people at every nook to help you out and there is no security issue here. So if you are coming here at least don't worry about this. The campus is also very friendly.

Average experience so far
Tips: It was an easy shift as Canada is culturally diverse. There were no scholarships available at that time for this college. The faculty is good but we are disappointed with the infrastructure. There are no on campus jobs available. Part time jobs are hard to get these days due to recession.

The course is value for money.
Tips: Students should be well aware of their courses taken and the relevance of those courses to the industry they aspire to leap into. Most of the time students take up a course and are not aware of the curriculum and subject matter, don’t be one of those students. Do a thorough background check of the curriculum yourself before getting admitted to take up a particular course. It’s good around here in Brampton, the college is also good while considering the quality of faculty and infrastructure with respect to the fees paid. So, go for it mostly if you’re planning to work and live here.

Having a good experience
Tips: This transition has made me more confident. Although it depends from person to person. But so far my experience has been really good. The campus I selected is really small which was a disappointment but the faculty is really good. They are always available to guide us. They have provided us with experts to help us with language and even to improve our resumes as per Canadian standards. Canada is a multicultural country and people here respect others' cultures and ethnicity. It shares a border with states, so there are more opportunities. Also, there is a job shortage these days in Canada. So, it might be a little hard for students who are planning to come to Canada as the number of immigrants has increased massively and there are not many job opportunities available.
Likes (Indian Food): Canada is a multicultural country, especially the GTA cities are known for their variety of food options. It is very comforting as you can find all kinds of Indian food here. As I live in Brampton, I have many places that serve Indian cuisine. For student life, I believe it is a bit expensive to spend on restaurants. I prefer to cook myself as it's a healthier and budget-friendly option.
Dislikes (Internships): Faculty is always there to guide us and there are on-campus jobs available. There are internships available relevant to the field of studies but honestly, just receiving the degree is not enough here. Students must do extra courses and get certificates in specified fields to grab better jobs and internships.
