Canada is a very nice country, from landscapes to the people that live. Is a multi-cultural and multi-racial place, so you will learn a lot from many cultures.

There is some red tape involved, however, support from the university is provided and worth the investment i guess!

This university is located in a very small town, which mean doesn't have that much of night life and the weather is not so pleasant with long winters and quite amounts of snows. If you like skiing and winter activities, it's a good choice. Even though you can't satisty with the given environments there, you can make it better with good friends.

Most of the information an international student will need is at the school website so the prospective student should take time to go through them. The faculty staff are remarkably open to help you go through your needs.

Go ahead. But don't be afraid of challenge, the courses are pretty tough, especially in Engineering and Maths.
