想在加国留学,但不想付高昂的国际留学生费用? 看进来

拿FN减学费有条件了(For York U)



IMPORTANT
INFORMATION

Application for Permanent Residency in Canada

The Ontario Ministry of Training,Colleges and Universities has issued updated fee regulations for students who have applied for permanent residency in Canada. Beginning in the summer 2010session, students who are permanent resident applicants are eligible for domestic fees only if they have a letter from Citizenship and Immigration Canada which has one of these statements:
"It has been determined that you meet the eligibility requirements to apply for permanent resident status. “
or
"We have completed the initial assessment of your application and expect to finalize your application without a personal interview."or
"This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada, your interview has been waived.”
or
"This refers to your application for permanent residence within Canada on humanitarian and compassionate grounds."

Under the Ministry’s new regulations, to qualify for exemption from the international fee rate,
only letters with one of the exact statements shown above can be accepted. The University auditor has also stated that only these letters will be acceptable to pass the audits.
If any current or incoming student indicates that they are applying for permanent residency and receives a letter with any of the above statements – that letter should be forwarded to the Bennett Centre – (details below). Once verified the student will be eligible for domestic fees.
There are a lot of different types of letters that students have regarding their applications for permanent residency, but please ensure that only letters which have the acceptable wording are forwarded as any others no longer qualify.
SUBMISSION OF LETTERS:
1. Students may bring their letter to Student Client Services, Bennett Centre.
There is no need to wait in line and see a service representative to submit completed forms. Drop off documents (in a sealed envelope – clearly marked with your student number) in the drop box on the main floor of the Student Services Centre. If you have questions, come and see us in person.

2. Programs may scan the letter and send directly to Susan Chisolm Milligan at susancm@yorku.ca or FAX: 416-650-8124 (please include student #).

UMSL diploma received!

终于,终于,UMSL的学位证书寄到了,天大的喜讯!

不过,听说 Ziyong Li 似乎没有拿到证书,心中不禁有点惨然。
虽然他很久没和我们联络了,但毕竟一起去的美国,而且关系也曾经非常不错。唉,听说不久前也从美国回来了,但到现在为止还没有他的消息。
祝他走好!

About the Chinese MBA degree

这些天,不断有同学问是否参加国内某所TOP 10 大学MBA学位答辩的事情,对我们这些已经拥有了一个美国知名大学MBA学位的人来说,判断是否参加其实是很简单。

众所周知,国内的大学的教学质量大多是层纸糊的窗户纸,没人去捅破而已,哪怕再知名的学校也是如此。我研究生在国内这所大学读了几个月,后来离开去了美国一所学校,两者的校风学风,教学质量,学术氛围完全是两个概念。国内的知名教授除了规定的上课时间外,没有多的时间陪你玩学术上的论题,毕竟学校外的各种头衔才是他们真正的挣钱养家之道。而在美国的学校里,教授授课的严谨是很令人尊敬的,对学生的评级也很客观公正,学生往往为了一分两分的成绩也要与教授争个你死我活才能有所斩获。而在国内,谁在乎你成绩啊,呵呵,只要你准时把学费缴足了就成。在这样的一种育才标准体系下,这样的国内大学一个MBA学位能有多少含金量?

攻读MBA学位,为的是对企业营运有个总体的了解,短短的两年课程,是不可能将一个对企业运作毫无概念的学生培养成一个优秀的企业高管的,最重要的还是实践。通过系统的学习,可以了解企业内部各个单位的职能和运作方式方法,同时对于各单位之间的摩擦与配合有了初步的理解,仅此而已。当然如果学生本身性格外向,可以多做点外联,对未来的求职是有所帮助的,但并不是必要条件。

因此,如果有空余时间,用点时间再多拿个学位或是文凭未尝不可,写写论文借以加深自己对理论上的研究和探讨,或是趁机将自己工作的体会和经验加以总结,这真是一件美事。但如只是为了多混张印刷精美的纸片,意义似乎不大,多花的时间和金钱,只能说是投进水里去了。

Employer Recommendation Letter Revised

There are some weakness in my old Employer Recommendation Letter, such as no income mentioned in each of my past working periods and my job classification is not very clear.
Downloaded a PDF password remover software in the morning and removed the constraints of the documents, then all fonts properties can be adjusted in these application forms, is it wonderful?
Tomorrow I should get the certified check done in USBANK and the passport copies should also be ready before the application be deliveried.

Back to St. Louis, with Mr. Lu

Damn!
Regret taking Mr. Lu's sedan from Nanjing to Shanghai PVG. Not until 5 minutes before the close of the checkin, we arrived the counter of the dock. It's terrible to describe how urgent and dangerous it is when we were on the highway!
Can not imagine if I missed the airplane back to U.S., what would happen to me. You know, absent courses, complicated assignments, imminent group discussion and etc. will drive you mad.
Notwithstanding, lucky enough, I am on board in time.
But, remember, never, never, never...
Never to take the same schedule with Mr. Lu again!
