University of Toronto

Yesterday was very good day for me, because me and my classmate and my teacher went to University of Toronto. I saw many new and old buildings. Every time when I was in my home country I ask me, where is the University of Toronto? Why it is very famous in the world, yesterday I find answer my question. It was very fantastic. I can say it is goal for most students that educate in this university. We had a tour leader. She explained very well for us about this university and that history. There were several collages in that area. And there are 42 libraries in Great Toronto. Maybe several other years after I can improve my English, I would like register in this university in my attendant field. It is geotechnical field. Very good filed for me. In my opinion these trips are very useful for students. Because they learn about Canada and that cultural. So it is fun for students after a busy week. The first days I was bored. Because I thought the Toronto is smaller than Tehran. Now I see many things

And feel them about Canada. A few days ago I was sawing my dreams about my home country. Now I am seeing dreams about Canada. Now I feel I am in Canada

I searched in Google about this university and I get some information about this university. The University of Toronto was founded as King’s College in 1827 and has evolved into a large and complex institution. It now occupies three campuses: Scarborough and Erin dale and the historic St. George campus. It has federated with three smaller universities which are on the St. George campus, and is affiliated with several colleges and institutes. There are ten fully affiliated teaching hospitals in metropolitan Toronto. Faculty conducts research in many places in Canada and around the world.

The University is Canada’s most important research institution and has gained an international reputation for its research. It enrols more students, employs more faculty, and offers a greater range of courses than any other Canadian university.

A liberal arts education is the heart of the undergraduate curriculum at Toronto, and the Faculty of Arts and Science has more students than any other faculty. The education of students for the professions has always been an important part of the University’s role, and the University accordingly maintains a wide range of professional faculties. The University’s insistence on the importance of research in all disciplines has made it the major centre for graduate education in Canada. In many fields it produces a majority of the nation’s doctoral candidates. The quality and range of the programs - undergraduate, graduate and professional - attract students from all parts of the province, from around the country and from abroad.

To support its work of teaching and research, the University has collected a library that is the largest in Canada and among the best in the world. The University maintains many laboratories and specialized aids to research. The Library and many of these research facilities are available for use by members of other universities. The University of Toronto Press Inc. is the chief institution of its kind in Canada and one of the most important scholarly publishers in North America.

education this morning

As we know we are newcomer so to learn many things is difficult for us.for example this morning we had a workshop about education and finance , so I learned many things a bout these subjects, continue education in university for adults or people have a degree university. Or which school is better for children. And how can we get Osap, loan, government grant  or what is the meaning resp. It is Registered Education Savings Plan.
Is an investment vehicle used by parents to save for their children's post-secondary education in Canada. The principal advantages of RESPs are the access to the Canada Education Savings Grant (CESG) and a source of tax-deferred income.
  This subject was simple but the second part was  more difficult than first part.It was about financial.It was about CPP,PRSP,TFSA. The Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) is an account that provides tax  benefits for saving in Canada. Investment income, including capital gains and dividends, earned in a TFSA is not taxed, even when withdrawn. Contributions to a TFSA are not deductible for income tax purposes, unlike contributions to Registered Retirement Savings Plans. I was confused in this subject. Anyway I think this was very good for me.

last Friday for sking

Last Friday me and my classmate and my best teacher went to skiing.It was very good time for me. because after a long busy week, I needed to vacation.I learned many things in the ski tripe.such as how can I stop on the snow, or how can I squeeze on the snow. So I get good information about ski. Now I know some things about ski And snow boarding.
I know for starting skin is easer than snowboarding.but in long term snow boarding is better than ski.although in first time snowboarding is more difficult than ski. So I decided to start that day with ski.When you want to stop on the snow you should be make a position like a big slice pizza.I was exited when I learned this important.I met some ski instructor with many experience in ski.One of them was Iranian,  she came from Tehran capital of Iran. After this tripe we came back to home. And I had bad feeling for few days. Because I had many pain bones in my body.Anyway I t was very good memory for me.I will not forget these days while I am alive.thanks God.thanks Joseph.
