A Question for Canadian Users Here

[Coldster]

Yes, I'm pretty sure it will. Don't be too sure however because I know plenty of former Americans who moved here mainly because of educational purposes. I hope someone will eventually be able to clear this up for you.

I'm curious: what did I say that made you think I was suggesting any kind of fraud anywhere?

I did say that I may have misconstrued your post. When you said something along the lines of, "Beware what institutions you might get your degree from", the only thing I could think of was fraudulent degrees &/or universities.

Sorry.

I didn't take any offense in the first place, but I was just curious. What I meant was that you probably want to go to a school that is good. Like I said in an earlier post here, in the Netherlands it doesn't really matter. There are basically three levels of high schools/colleges/universities. The idea is that all of the schools of the same level are just as good (of course, technically they're not, but the differences aren't too big and nobody thinks a diploma/degree from one school is worth more or less than one from a same-level school). If you are used to such a system, you may think that it doesn't really matter what school you go to. But from my understanding, the US system is different in that regard and they do care what school you get your diploma's from, which can turn out bad for you if you basically selected one at random because you didn't think it would matter. So I was trying to warn about that.

you could always ask someone in the compsci department of your school if the degree youre working for is useful in canada
also, welcome to canada, that is when/if you decide to come here
