- In this video, I share my life as an international student living in Canada. I take you through an average day. I discuss my morning routine, using the public transit system, getting to work, attending classes, and eventually going home. I just want to show you guys this so that you have a better idea of what to expect when you get here. Enjoy!

Same here, I was 21 when I came here as an international student, and since then, I matured a lot. Coming here to Canada changed me mentally, and discovered other capabilities which I never thought I'm capable of.

I agree with you 100%. I think that is an important point that most students need to understand. Thank you for sharing your experience
I am 43 ..is it possible apply for student visa..if so..what band score for ielts?
Thank you for your informative videos. It means a lot that we don’t only get to learn the technical details of what it’s like to be in Canada but also the emotional and growth aspects. 🥺💕
Great video Rachel, enjoyed watching it. Lots of great, sound, practical advise. Watching your video reminded me of my own (similar) experiences. And I agree, as hard and challenging as it may have been, I wouldn't change a thing. Keep it up, looking forward to your next videos :)
Thank you for leaving a wonderful comment. I believe we should be sharing practical experience that is as real as it gets. This will paint a better picture for those aspiring applicants to Canada.
Ghaaad I just love the way you talk. So genuine, sincere and informative 🥺🥺🥺 planning to study this winter 2022 (hopefully)
Thank you for making a video about things like these. This is very helpful most especially to some people like me who are going to study there in Canada. That line "you can better mentally prepare yourself for your journey to come here"
I am incoming student this fall 2021, I will be a liar if I say I am not nervous being alone in Canada but thank you for this video and I will surely enjoy and make the most out of it. Come out with comfort zone is not a thing to be scared but a new experience that I can do all things through Christ. See you Canada soon :-)
omg same fall 2021 din ako
Jinky, please cherish these moments as an international student. It will pass really quickly. I wish you and Eizel all the best!
this fall 2021 din ako. can we guys connect on facebook? See you in Canada!

Hi ate Rach! I've been learning a lot from your video and you've beena great help and inspiration for me to pursue my dream to have PR in Canada. I'm a construction engineering graduate and I learned in you vid here that you're an engineering graduate too!
I'm looking forward to shifting fields to medical/nursing for my studies in Canada in BC where most of my relatives live. Also praying for provision and readiness as I pursue this!
Im arriving in Vancouver in two months. Thx for the video, can’t wait to be there!
Great efforts given Rachel. Your videos is inspiring. Keep it up. I wish I may come to BC 🇨🇦 one day to make my Canadian dreams come true.

With online learning now, it's different for me. Perhaps easier because I don't have to go to school. Oh and I work as a background actor now and appeared on the Good Doctor twice. Pretty cool part-time job!
JOSEVICH!!!!!!! Always leaving me quirky and enjoyable comments to read. I will try to watch some Good Doctor when I have time.

WOOHOO I respect the person who respects my humor 😜😉😉🙏
How do you apply/hunt for a job while being a student in Canada?
Do you suggest going to malls and asking the Store Manager for possible vacancies at the outlet?
On a side note, thank you so much for putting out these videos and making Research a whole lot easier prior to arriving in Canada.
Thank you so much for sharing. 🙏
You are very welcome!

Oh, I'm kinda jealous but also happy for ya. Something that's nearly impossible for me to do, even though I'd like to. Anyway, keep up the good work of journalism! :D It's really interesting to learn firsthand.
Awww...you are so sweet. If it doesn't work out here, I am sure it will work out elsewhere. Things in life happen for a reason and the reasons will reveal itself later in life.
Tnx Sis, Stay Safe...
Very informative. When I was there in Vancouver back in 2018, I used to screenshot routes from Google map and use map at every transit station. It was an adventure walking around Downtown.
LOLLLLLL......I completely agree with those screenshots. I used to have the worst phone plan with garbage reception. Google maps barely worked. I would run into Starbucks and try to get free wifi and carry on my way. Thanks for sharing your experience.

@@rrdancel For me, best spot to get free WiFi is at every Tim Horton's. 😁
I'm planning to study at BCIT this Fall 2021 intake but due to time constraints and other factors, I have to postpone to Fall 2022. At least I have enough time to prepare. 🙂
Thanks for this.
Thanks for watching! And for dropping a comment 🥰😘
You're welcome. Learned a lot from you. I'll check your other vids later after work. Stay safe 🙏❤
Hello , I have watched a lot of your videos and I really appreciate you. I have gained a lot of knowledge and now I am quite prepare for coming. Can you please make a video "how to prepare a quarantine plan?" Waiting for it. Thank you.
I am a bit behind schedule on filming several other projects and will not be able to film this in time.
Thanks for the Information, We will wait for your next Video. (y)
Thanks Rachel, great video as always! I have a background in web dev, do you think employers will employ international students and pay a standard salary based on my experience? Also it seems like most international students opt for skilled jobs more than professional ones, is there a reason for that?
I have a question, my program length is 2Years / 4 semester, but it ends December 2022 (for Sept 2021 intake), apparently I won't have a summer break. How long do you think my PGWP will be when I graduate?
hi Rach, ur such an intelligent chap and pretty diva, nice tips and advise.
I have a question umm how did you explain from engineering to graphic design in LOE I honestly wanna know cause you know I am last year of graduation so I am like so frickin scared that I am gonna do one thing wrong everything that I wanted ever since 7-8 years back would just wash out like that also I am really confused about which province to choose cause there is better opportunities or easy pr or fun life and so much more to think of and I cannot decide
Loved it
Glad you did! 😊❤️ thank you for being here!!
💕Good one 👍🏼
Thank you, Akhil!
So did you take a couple years off after high school (I think it’s called secondary school depending on where you’re from) to save up money so it’ll be easier living in Canada?
Hi Rachel, ano ang mga dapat iwasan sa pag vlog dto sa Canada publicly?
Great vid! How long did you work at foot locker?
Wow nice..I love canada..😍
BCIT looks amazing! Wish I considered BC as well lol. ♥️🔥
I really love the campus, the students, professors and student life there. So many things to do. Thanks for leaving me a comment!
It sounds great omg. Wish you can do a more detailed vid on how you applied for PR after your 1 year program (taking a similar, risky path in Manitoba kasi) like the whole process and even the forms hahaha. More power to you and your vids 💕
great video :)
Nice work, so easy to understand
I got everything even on 0 volume
Wow, so impressive! You must be a a great sign reader 😂
@@rrdancel ohh really! I didn't know you call yourself a sign. Lol
I really enjoyed this video😂👏🏻 You should really consider making more lifestyle videos like this one, it's really interesting to see Canada from the perspective of a foreigner. For example: "my experience living far away from your family" or "how I met my friends in Canada?" (you know, because supposedly people in Canada are really cold), maybe "things I miss about my country" or "differences between my culture and Canadian culture", or even "misconceptions I had before moving to Canada". But great video 10/10
HUGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I always love reading your comments and your input. I feel like I know you personally some how but we never met. LOL. Because of your suggestion, I will be pumping out more lifestyle videos for students. I will take your suggestions into consideration. Again, I am a fan!
Hi Rachel I will be studying in university of Seattle this October do you know the place? Any recommendation to prepare?
I got curious of BCIT because of your vlogg and searched the programs they offer. They have a great programs and Courses. I am a Civil Engineer in PH and I already have a 3yrs experience. Can I take the Construction Management at BCIT? Am I eligible to take it?
Hey girl, can you do more about studying graphic designs in BCIT because im taking exactly that course, and also on working part time as an entreprenur. Because im already a part time graphic designer but like designers charge by packages and i dont know how that can be related to the "20 hours"
Hi Ms. Rachel, can you make a video about the things you brought when you went there? :)
Hi Hannah, that’s an excellent suggestion! Thank you for this, I will keep a note of that for my future videos. 🥰
Hey Rachel! Can we get a video on student bank accounts and credit cards? I mean comparing the big 5 and talking about the fees while being a student and after graduating?
That is on my to do list. Maybe in the future when I have more time.
lodi!!
Hi Rachel, I’m planning to take a engineering related program in canada. Does studying engineering in canada harder than in the philippines?
Love this video! ❤️Thanks for sharing with us. Also I would appreciate it if u kindly told me how u landed the job? The search process?did u get any help looking for the job? Did it require any experience? Thank you in advance! 😊
Thank you Nana. I have made several videos about working in Canada. It includes full details on how I landed my job, how I searched for one and tips on getting one.
Thank you ❤️
hi! I'm watching lots of your videos and I'm really interested on studying abroad particularly in canada. Is norquest college a good one? because I'll be residing in alberta soon, if God's will.
I am planning to come in next year as a student but I am little bit nervous that am I able to success my dream or not .specially my age. I am 31 years old now. I select my college in Ontario it’s 2 years diploma. I am not much fluent in English.But I think I can manage it.
Hi! I’m also planning to attend BCIT. Though i havent applied for a LOA yet 😅 I wonder if other programs have the same school hours? 9am-5pm? Because i’m planning to work 3x on weekdays and a day during weekends. I want a whole day off 😅
Make sure you do not work more than 20 hours per week.
hi po ate rachel! i would like to ask if there's an edge, in post graduate work opportunities and such, if i would choose to study in a university than in a college.
i really really love your contents and how you empower your viewers, not only technically but also emotionally 🥺❣️thank you very much po
Hi Rachel! Question. Did you use your own computer/ desktop while studying? Did you bought in canada or you brought it from the philippines? I'm really curious if I can bring a computer set in canada, like with printer and all. Or it is cheaper to buy it in there. Or like if it os necessary or important to have like a computer and printer with you while studying? Or a laptop will do. Thanks so much for your videossss. I love it so much! I am so excited to study in Canada this fall. I already got my visa stamp last week. 🥰❤️
I didn’t bring any electronics to Canada. I got my laptop here in Canada. Generally, electronics do you on sale quite a bit here. It may be a good idea to check out electronic stores such as BestBuy, Amazon or Walmart to find some deals before you get here.
@@rrdancel okay okay thanks so much. I'll check those out! 🥰❤️
czcams.com/video/2Ni3iNkwvs0/video.html
please making video about student in coivd situation, and give an advices its worthy that we go to canada for study now. thankyou
Currently I don't have time to make that video. But I can say that if you are planning to study in Canada, its better to start sooner. There are so many advantages to starting earlier.
Border restrictions are slowly being lifted and schools are planning to reopen this upcoming September 2021.
Thanks 👍
You are very welcome.
Hi Rachel, you are a star. Please advise if the 20 hours a student must work per week includes weekends and Holidays.
It includes weekdays, weekends and holidays.
Galing!
Is it difficult to find a part-time job? Even if I don't have a High School Diploma? I saw that a lot of colleges have programs for Mature Student (people who doesn't have diploma), and give the possibility to get the PGWP after,so studying in collage without Diploma is a thing,but what about looking for a part-time job without it? Thank you very much for everything you doing! 😁
Hey Rachel, Thank you for these amazing videos which inspires me so much to come to Canada. So If you have time please suggest me some post grad design courses. ts glad to hear that you did Graphic design over engineering. I'm have a fashion design 1st degree. Thanks again
_Love from Sri Lanka
My daughter is a senior high school graduate in the philippines, if she will apply as international student in canada is there a chance that she will be accepted even she did no finished yet her degree?
Thankyou for sharing 😍 is transit app also available in Surrey?
Yes, it is!
Hoping for a meet-up soon
I'm finally in Surrey!
Wow congrats for making it here! 🥰
Hi very informative video...
May i ask how many days per week you attend to your school?
Hi dear! Back when I used to be a student, I attended school every weekdays! ☺️
As a former international student now a PR I can relate a 100%😄👌🏻
Adriana, nice to meet someone that went through the similar experience. Where are you now?
Im in Toronto 😃 moved here as an International student on August 2017.
Pretty and reliable as always. 💋
Oh thank you for your kind words. I appreciate that you left me a comment to help out the algorithm
Hi po!! Wanted to kung pano po magcreate ng account sa bcit? And need po ba ng payment for just creating an account?
Hope you can answer this po ..thank you
Hi. Thank you for your videos, those are really helpful. My sister who is 19 is applying for the student visa but my father will pay her expenses. In that case, she applied as a underage ?
Once she turns 19, she is not considered a minor any more. Most provinces will consider her as an adult once she turns 18 years old. You can check with the provincial laws of your chosen province.
Do you know if the diploma in new media it's take it on the Burnaby campus or Vancouver
I am not sure.
Please make a video on MBA programs which is pgwp eligible
We need feedback on how to apply to colleges in Vancouver
Love you 🌹
Each college will have their own general entrance requirements. Each program with will have its own program entrance requirements. Its really hard to cover everything
I enquired in BCIT.. They told me to take Business fundamentals program.. I couldn't understand.. Whats that.. Once complete that can get PGWP?
Please make more videos based on bcit😄
Mam ask lang po 2017 pa po graduate ng it 2years course po yung partner ko .6months expireence lang po sya sa bilang cashier sa SM and then na buntis na po . Fulltime house wife napo sya ngayon. If ever po na mag try sya ng Student perment po ano pong magandang course na kunin nya .
Is it possible as a foreigner to move to US after you get Canadian pr or you get canadian citizenship. Pls answer if you know
Thanks~~~~
