StringerBell Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 So I'm just about finished my first year at york and in case you didn't hear, there was a strike that lasted about 3 months. But what's worse is that there is going to be another strike in 3 years from now, in my fourth year. So because of this I was going to transfer to another university after my second year. And originally I was planning on going to western. But I then I realized that I could transfer to a university outside of Ontario to get ip status. So far it seems like Alberta would be the best choice, because I can become a resident in 2 years if I'm a student. But has anyone done this? Is this a good idea, or should I just stick to western. Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manitoba by the way is the similar, you would also be a IP within two years, and you would be closer to home as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StringerBell Posted May 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Yeah I thought about that too, but alberta just seems like a better place to live, plus alberta has two medical schools while manitoba has one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StringerBell Posted May 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Bump....does anyone else have any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolvenstar Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 depends on how you are politically minded. I am transferring out of alberta to the university of victoria. I am originally from BC and found it to be very conservative minded here. I also personally don't like calgary and don't see any sense of community anywhere in the city, but that is my personal opinion so please no one take any offense.

WestEastMountGuy Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 how can u possibly know they are going on another strike in few months.. dont talk if u dont have proof.. show me link/proof I thought he said in 3 years? Which would make sense, as that union seems to strike whenever its contract is up, which is in 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaHatingBrit Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Personally I love Calgary - great place to live, great schools: U of A and U of C have an 85% quota for in province students, and I think you have to live here 12 months to be considered a resident, but I may be wrong - it may be 2 years. Mountains. What more do you need...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
