MY STORY

7+ Years in Canada.
Real experience. Free resources.

I moved to Canada right after my studies as an international student. Over 7 years I've navigated study permits, PGWP, job searches, IELTS (multiple attempts), and the complete French journey (TEF) for massive CRS points.

I'm currently in the final stages of the PR process and documenting everything honestly along the way — the wins, the mistakes, the bureaucracy, and the strategies that actually worked.

Why this website exists

Good, free, Canada-specific information for students (especially those coming right after 12th) is surprisingly hard to find. Expensive consultants, outdated YouTube videos, and generic advice everywhere.

I built this as a one-stop, no-BS hub with:

  • 20+ hours of completely free IELTS video lectures (my full library on Google Drive)
  • Accurate CRS calculator with real test score converters (IELTS, CELPIP, PTE, TEF, TCF)
  • Practical 90-day French plans and TEF CLB 5 PDF kit
  • Real checklists for packing, banking, credit, co-op, taxes, mental health — everything I wish I had

No email gates. No paid courses pushed. Just the stuff that actually moves the needle for international students.

My promise

Everything here is based on my real lived experience in Ontario (Kitchener-Waterloo + Toronto area). I share what worked for me and what I see working for the community.
