is there anyone studying a degree? I'm looking for doing my last year of electronics engeneer degree and would like to go to Canada, but i can't find much info about canada's university system.
btw, i 'd prefer go to the east coast, since i speak french and went to a french school when i was a boy :rolleyes:

U of Waterloo Ontario is probably the best known Canadian school for engineering. If I had studied in Canada, I probably would have gone to Waterloo.

U of New Brunswick has a pretty good engineering program I'm told. I have some Computer Science friends that went there. There's alot french speakers in NB. It's probably the most bilingual province besides Quebec.

I have an Electrical Engineering degree, but from Bob Jones U in South Carolina. I'm Canadian.

Yup, she's a great school for engineering! Won't find many French only people around here, and not too many bilinguals that are heavy on the French side either... But still a great place to be. (I'm only a 30min drive from that campus.) But as you go north from here, French gets much more predominant... Hopefully the website can help you get some good information that you can use.

Well, i would need a french spoken university, because i can write in english(i do my best and find rcgroups is a nice place for train and learn), but i don't understand it wery well when someone speaks fast.(i.e. i try to watch movies in english but usually get lost :o ) Since i have no problems with french, i'd prefer a french university :cool:
I took a look at the link, it looks great but couldn't find electronics, only electric engineering :(
Anyway thank you, i'll continue searching :)

List of Canadian universities... you should be able to find French spoken courses in 'most' of them. Especially in and around Quebec. Montreal is a beautiful city, and has a great University too...

PS. Your english is perfect in writing! I bet you could pick up the faster spoken english in no time.
