From cultural shift to success a rewarding journey.
Tips: Adapting to campus life can be challenging, especially for students from different cultural backgrounds. The academic rigour, social expectations, and even the food can feel foreign and overwhelming. One of the biggest hurdles is often communication. Nuances in language, humor, and social cues can easily lead to misunderstandings and feelings of isolation. Students might hesitate to participate in class discussions, fearing they won't be understood or judged. Similarly, navigating social events and making friends can be difficult when cultural norms differ significantly. Besides that, the campus is well connected to the rest of the city through multiple modes of transportation. Ticket prices are affordable and the routes are well-marked, ensuring a straightforward and convenient travel experience. You won't need to worry about public transport.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Many companies do not provide sponsorship for work visas, which makes it challenging for international students to find employment. The job market is saturated in 2024–2025, which makes it difficult to find opportunities. Networking is the key to landing roles.

Good campus, great internship support from the college and a great city.
Tips: Canada is very welcoming. I did not experience a cultural shift because I have lived abroad before. I did apply for a scholarship but unfortunately could not get the scholarship but I know many people who got one. The course is good for quickly getting Canadian working experience. It is however not the best course if you want a classroom experience because you only take 4-5 classes a week.

Beautiful city with lots to explore.
Tips: Initially, everything seemed pretty laid back and chill, but once class progressed, you could feel the intensity. It goes beyond mere coding, and the curriculum is very theory-based as well. Be prepared for random pop quizzes. Aside from that, the city is beautiful and filled with industries and opportunities. I find the winters unbearable, so invest in proper coverage and insulation.

Hardworking and friendly folks
Tips: UofT provides you with tremendous opportunity to boost your career. Alumni are friendly. You can participate in a plethora of activities with students from other departments. There are not many scholarships available at Master's level but a lot for Ph.D.
Likes (Student Life): UofT campus is always buzzing with activities and events. It is easy to find a peer group and have some fun while learning new skills. During orientation you will get an opportunity to enroll in a vast array of clubs. There is always free food at some or the other event on the campus where you can make friends.
Dislikes (Part time work): All upcoming students get an option to apply for Teaching Assistantship roles. Moreover, students can connect with faculty members for Research Assistantship roles. Alumni is very friendly, you can reach out to them for part time roles in the industry.

Academic fountain of deep learning in the world
Tips: The university is known for its academic standards therefore the quality of courses is good and so are the marking criteria of the professors who teach the courses. The expectation from Masters students is to work on par with Ph.D. scholars and perform better since this degree usually prepares you for pursuing a Ph.D. degree in future.
Likes (Indian Food): Toronto is a vibrant city with cosmopolitan culture and food of every kind is available in the city and also this university. I as an Indian and a hard-core vegetarian. I was able to enjoy the street food and also there are many Indian veg cuisine restaurants present as well. I never found it difficult to find food.
Dislikes (Student Life): Everyone is engaged in their own activities due to course loads with less activities which students can indulge in together.

The environment here is quite fast-paced, and there's plenty of diversity.
Tips: The environment here is quite fast-paced, and there's plenty of diversity, giving it a very multicultural feel. Homesickness is real, but there are tons of clubs, activities, and campus events to look forward to, and the Indian restaurants are surprisingly quite good. My classes encourage a lot of discussions and out-of-the-box thinking.
