Canada is a great country, to study in Canada and eventually find a job, settle down is the dream of many students and young professionals , but there are a few things we need to know and prepare for.
Boarder officers in India and Canada have regulations , only certain amount of money can be brought to Canada. Also, due to the Indian rupee exchange rate, it would be a better idea to bring CAD or USD, instead of Rupees and exchange in Canada.
Visa requirement : After you receive the addmission from your ideal University/ College, you have time to apply for study visa. If it is your first time go aboard, it might be a good idea to work on your passport while you applying University/ College .

IMPORTANT !! make sure nothing you bring is not allowed. such as meat product and seeds.

3. Optional :
Clothes: you can bring more traditional clothes, also for winter clothes, don't worry about the cold weather, the indoor temperature is good here, if you want to you can bring a really warm coat. but usually from our experiences, we buy a lot of clothes when we come here, the price is fair and the the designs are great !! ( especially for girls !) - same thing apply to shoes.
I think this is for now, I will add more articles about life in Canada in the near future :)
