Hi there,

Here a ol nasty piece of caveat before I begin writing this :

- I. Am. Moving.

Let's get it to move

I'm in my early 20s, I did 3 years of (British) college and one of the two qualifications I have from that is in Light Automotive Maintenance and Repair and then I did and passed a year at a (pretty prestigious) University in a Humanities subject. I've had one job in a restaurant albeit a placement job that lasted 6 months. I am very ambivalent about being able to get work of any kind in Canada with the humble Resume I have so I have instead turned my attention to studying there. If there are those who think it's possible for me to find work there, let me know. I have meandered between looking at Universities and Community College but I am partial to Community Colleges because I have seen that they seem to be less expensive and more accessible for Immigrants but I am unsure how true that is, on top of me probably studying an automotive course as this seems to be an industry I am most likely to get work in after finishing my studies. The reason I am applying for universities here is because the level of the course I did at College had to be higher for me to apply to study at a University here, in addition to me being specifically interested in autobody schools as opposed to holistic automotive education.

I'm in the process of looking at applying at the following Community Colleges

- Algonquin (Fitness and Health Promotion, Autobody Repair, Culinary Arts Management and several business courses)

- St. Lawrence (Autobody Repair, Culinary Arts, some Business Courses and Dental Hygiene)

- Centennial (Business and HR)

and the last and certainly not meek

- Niagara (Autobody courses, Business Courses and Fitness courses)

There is much ambivalence when I ask about applying to community colleges in the U.S. as the sectors I talked on had slim chances of employment for intl students

Also, I work at a job right now and have $10000 saved, I wanted to ask if you are only asked to prove you have funds for one year when you apply to CC

- How likely am I to be able to study in Canada based on the experience and qualifications I have?

- How likely am I to secure work in the sectors I spoke about compared to the U.S.?

- Do many people my age successfully find work after CC? Or do they go into University?

- Is CC more affordable than the U.S.?
