Hey,

Well I am Canadian and I just want to know who else in this community is too. If you dont mind, post where you are from as well
Im from BC
 
Me is Dutch, but I'm making preparations for study in Canada. History, in Toronto or Ottawa, to be exact. Major obstacle so far is my mom, since she thinks I'm too young at 17... :(
 
I'm a Canadian living in the Excited States. I was born in TO but I lived most of my life in Edmonchuk. Got my engineering degree at the U of Eh. Played the coolest game on earth on the road and on ice, wearing jeans and a toque. Snow came in September and lasted til March. I learned how to steer out of a fishtail, learned how to rock a car out of a snowdrift, and learned how to drive a car sideways using front wheel drive and the handbrake. Drank real beer at the legal age of 18. Watched a young Doug Flutie play football with 3 downs and a 110 yard field. I ate venison and duck that Dad and I shot, and Mom made nanaimo bars for dessert. Spring was for fishing walleye and summer was lake trout. Watched Gretzky and Kurri and Coffey and Messier and Lowe playing live at the Coliseum, we even got gold seats a few times. That first Stanley Cup was a feeling like no other.

Oiler fan forever. Too bad there's no hockey down here.
 
lol, sounds like you've learned some really valuable skills as a Canadian :P ;)

living the dream there for sure! Too young to have seen them all play together myself though.

and Bas B, I've got a friend who goes to U of T for history and a bunch who go to U of Ottawa for various programs. They all like it a lot at both places. I go to university at UOIT in Oshawa myself for Computer Science (1st year) which is rather fun.

I've seen quite a few international students, we've got a girl from Norway at UOIT. Toronto will have quite a few as it's basically the most reputable social-sciences university in Ontario if not Canada.
 
I heard TO was more of an industrial city, wheras Ottawa more of a commercial-trade based city?
 
Toronto is all corporate headquarters and stuff, Ottawa would be a lot more government buildings and stuff as it's our national capital. Toronto's also our biggest city and provincial capital so there's no shortage of things to do I imagine. There are at least 3 large universities just in Toronto (U of T, Ryerson, York) who are all rather good choices. Toronto also has more sports teams if you're into that, the Maple Leafs for Hockey, Rock for Lacrosse, Raptors for Basketball, Blue Jays for baseball, FC for soccer/football, Argonauts for CFL football. CN tower is a really cool place to visit too :D .

Toronto is a sprawling city, so any real industrial type stuff would be on the outskirts. living near the university it'll be mostly large office buildings and stuff of that sort. Ottawa will be similar but with an overall shorter skyline.
 
np :D more uni students in Canada is always awesome!

and you can try some Tim Hortons and watch some good hockey here hehe.
 
Canadian-born, yes. Born in Toronto, and lived in Mississauga before moving to the States when I was 7. :p
