Open the savings book early and keep the money there. A large deposit just before applying, or money borrowed for the occasion, is the most common reason for refusal. Confirm the current figure with the embassy and the school.
Off-campus work is limited to 24 hours a week during academic sessions and only if your study permit allows it. Students in a stand-alone language programme generally cannot work.
Please do not plan on part-time income to pay tuition or repay a loan. It usually covers part of the monthly living cost at best, and only after the first few months.
Canada is safe and student services are good. The real challenges are winter and finding housing in Toronto and Vancouver.
After graduation: Eligible graduates can apply for a Post-Graduation Work Permit of up to three years. Field-of-study and language requirements apply; check before you choose a programme.

Embassies regularly warn Vietnamese families about these. If you hear any of them, from us or anyone else, walk away.
