Canada Study for Indian Student

by | posted in: Canada, Canada Study for Indian Student | 0

Introduction

Canada is a country in North America consisting of 10 provinces and 3 territories. Located in the northern part of the continent, it extends from the Atlantic to the Pacific and northward into the Arctic Ocean. At 9.98 million square kilometers in total, Canada is the world’s second-largest country by total area, and its common border with the United States is the world’s longest land border shared by the same two countries. 

Canada is a federal parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy, with Queen Elizabeth II as its head of state. The country is officially bilingual at the federal level. It is one of the world’s most ethnically diverse and multicultural nations, the product of large-scale immigration from many countries, with a population of approximately 35 million as of December 2012. Its advanced economy is one of the largest in the world, relying chiefly upon its abundant natural resources and well-developed trade networks. Canada’s long and complex relationship with the United States has had a significant impact on its economy and culture.

WHY STUDY IN CANADA:

Qualifications Valued Around the World:Canada’s high academic standards and rigorous quality controls mean that you’ll be earning a high-quality education that will open doors for your future and benefit your career over the long term. A Canadian degree, diploma or certificate is globally recognized as being equivalent to those obtained from the United States or Commonwealth countries.

Affordable Education:The quality of education and living standards in Canada are amongst the highest in the world, but the cost of living and tuition fees for international students are generally lower than in other countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom. As such, Canada is often the preferred choice for students attending college or university.

Multicultural Society: With almost all of the world’s ethnic groups represented in Canada, it’s hard not to find ethnic foods and recreation activities associated with specific cultures. In fact, your international student advisor can help you get in touch with any number of ethnic clubs and associations for you to join while you’re here.

Healthy and Safe Communities: While you may have heard of or experienced Canadians’ friendly and open nature, you may not have known that the United Nations consistently ranks Canada as one of the best places in the world to live. As an international student in Canada, you’ll enjoy all of the same freedoms which protect Canadians – respect for human rights, equality, and a stable and peaceful society.

World-Class Language Education: Did you know that Canada is a bilingual country and is considered a world leader in language training? Since teaching French and English as a first and second language is an integral part of a Canadian education, you will be able to improve your fluency and capacity for either language as you further your studies.

Exciting Campus Lifestyle: Canada’s post-secondary campuses aren’t only wired with the latest in sophisticated technology, but countless other modern amenities as well. From Olympic-quality sports facilities to public concert halls and art galleries, Canada’s post-secondary campuses offer you enormous possibilities for learning and leisure. Plus, you’ll have incredible opportunities to meet like-minded individuals and gain valuable experience through student-run governments, radio, newspapers and businesses..

Innovative and Abundant Research Opportunities:Since research is one of the key components of a Canadian post-secondary education, you’ll have ample opportunity to become a part of this vibrant aspect of education. In Canada, government and industry together support research including: telecommunications, medicine, agriculture, computer technology, and environmental science.

Land of Possibilities: Under Canada’s highly dynamic and hands-on academic environment, you will not only acquire knowledge and skills in analysis and communication, but you will also learn how to express yourself, demonstrate your creativity, and develop your self-confidence! Teachers and professors are always available and eager to help with lessons, and studies fuse academic excellence with interaction and collaboration in the classroom..

Possibility of Immigration: Did you know that some international students with Canadian credentials and Canadian work experience may apply for permanent residency without having to leave Canada? For more information about the possibility of immigration to Canada once your schooling is complete, please visit the Citizenship and Immigration Canada website.

THE EDUCATION SYSTEM:

The education system in Canada encompasses both publicly-funded and private schools, including: community colleges/ technical institutes, career colleges, language schools, secondary schools, universities and university colleges.

Education is a provincial responsibility under the Canadian constitution, which means there are significant differences between the education systems of the different provinces. However, education is important to Canadians, and standards across the country are uniformly high.

In general, Canadian children attend kindergarten for one or two years at the age of four or five on a voluntary basis. All children begin Grade One at about six years of age. The school year normally runs from September through the following June but in some instances, January intake dates are possible. Secondary schools go up to Grades 11 or 12, depending on the province. From there, students may attend university, college or Cégep studies. Cégep is a French acronym for College of General and Vocational Education, and is two years of general or three years of technical education between high school and university. The province of Québec has the Cégep system.

High Quality Education:

Education institutions are not officially ranked in Canada, but you will find quality institutions across the country. When choosing your school in Canada, consider the type, size and location of the institution. If you are interested in a particular area of study, investigate which schools have more to offer in that discipline.

Internships and Co-op Programs

If you’re looking to gain valuable international work experience while you’re going to school in Canada, a co-op or internship program might be right for you!

Many Canadian colleges and universities offer these work placement programs as a means of enhancing the curriculum with real world industry experience. Typically, students spend alternating semesters learning in the classroom and then applying that knowledge through on the job work in their field of study.

Co-op or internship programs are an excellent way to make money for each upcoming school semester, and to bolster your resume with work experience and invaluable business contacts.

Eligibility of Canadian Work Permit for International Students on Co-op or Internship

To be eligible for a work permit, you must meet the following conditions:

  • You have a valid study permit.
  • Your intended employment is an essential part of your program of study in Canada.
  • Your employment must be part of your academic program, certified by a letter from a responsible academic official of the institution.Your co-op or internship employment cannot form more than 50% of the total program of study.

by | posted in: General | 0

Child Care 9 to 12 Months
If you notice that a child is not doing many of these,

  • Says simple words
  • Moves very fast – crawling and walking
  • Plays hiding games
  • Uses sounds and gestures
  • Begins to show sense of humor

How your baby eats:

  • Your baby’s using a “sippy” cup.
  • Begin spoon-feeding your baby using baby-sized utensils.
  • Introduce more solid foods but cut them into tiny, bite-size pieces first.

How to care for your baby’s mouth:

  • Your baby’s mouth needs to be cleaned with an infant toothbrush or wet washcloth/gauze after feedings and at bedtime. Be sure to floss between any teeth that are touching each other.
  • Your baby may be experiencing pain and/or swollen gums as her teeth begin to come in. Most babies get their first tooth at 6-7 months, although some get it as early as 3 months or as late as 12 months.
  • Try gently massaging the gums with a clean fingertip to provide relief for teething pain. Your baby may feel better when chewing on cold objects (e.g. chilled washcloth, teething ring, or cool spoon). Make sure the object won’t break or make her choke.
  • Your baby may begin seeing a dentist at her first birthday and every 6 months after.

How your baby uses her hands (your baby’s fine motor skill development):

  • Your baby will enjoy learning to picking up a toy in each hand ad banging them together.
  • Your baby is also learning to voluntarily let go of things and will “practice” dropping objects to watch where they go.
  • Your baby will soon learn to throw things.
  • You may see that your baby wants to pick up her own food. She may eat finger foods on her own.
  • Your baby will learn how to use his thumb and index finger to pick up small objects like Cheerios.

How your baby moves (your baby’s gross motor skill development):

  • Crawling is the most popular way for babies this age to get around. Make a safe, clean area on the floor for him to practice crawling.
  • Most babies walk after they become good at crawling.
  • Your baby will pull himself up from the floor to stand against a sofa, a table, or you.
  • He will then move along the furniture, supporting himself against it.
  • Your baby may express his desire to walk by taking your hand to go walking with him.
  • Your baby is preparing himself to take his first step by himself.
  • Remove or cushion furniture with sharp edges. Your baby will probably fall down a lot. Coffee table corners are especially dangerous!

How your baby communicates (your baby’s speech and language development):

  • Notice that your baby starts to use her pointer finger to show interest in something and to share it with you. Your baby will also be learning to look at something you point to.
  • Notice that when you say “no,” your baby may stop what she is doing and may even look at you.
  • Your baby also may recognize a few familiar words. For example, if you say “Bye-bye,” your baby may lift her arms to you.
  • Your baby may say her first word during this period and know what it stands for.
  • Your baby will recognize his name when he is called.

How your baby explores (your baby’s cognitive development):

  • Your baby likes to drop his toys against different surfaces. He is noticing all of the different sounds that are made.
  • Put a toy behind your back and your baby may crawl to look for it.
  • Your baby will also learn to go around, under or over things in his path for an object he wants.
  • Your baby may be happy to sit with you when you show him books with large simple pictures of ordinary things.
  • He will like simple children’s songs or rhymes. Words repeated over and over help him to learn faster. He also enjoys games like “pat-a-cake” that have rhymes and hand motions.

How your baby is growing emotionally (your baby’s social and emotional development):

  • Your baby may understand the word “no,” but probably she will not always obey. This is normal for her developmental level.
  • Your baby may try to imitate some of the things that you do. She may try to drink from the cup the way that you do, talk on the phone, or wave bye-bye.
  • You may find that during this period, your baby will only want her mother to take care of her needs and is more hesitant around strangers. This is normal for her developmental level.

Loving and playing with your baby:

  • Items around the home such as plastic containers, lids, shoeboxes and large blocks are great toys for babies at this age. You can put a block into a shoebox, cover it with its lid, and then encourage your baby to look for the block.
  • When your baby points to something, name it for him.
  • Make a safe place for your baby to crawl and play on the floor!
  • Be sure that electrical outlets are plugged or covered. Use cabinet latches to protect your child from unsafe items. Be careful that your baby cannot get caught up in an extension, phone, curtain or blind cord. Move all cleaning supplies and poisonous materials into high cabinets that your baby cannot reach.
  • Share board and vinyl books that have simple pictures with your baby. Point and name or “play” with the pictures (cover the doggie’s eyes)!
  • Your baby will crawl and walk at his own pace. Let him show you when he is ready.
  • Your baby is very curious, and may want to explore items that are off limits. This may be frustrating, but this curiosity is normal. Try to stay calm, but keep your limits clear. The word “No” doesn’t work very well at this age, so focus on keeping your baby safe.
