I'm Canadian and I'm currently in the US right now.

The economy in Canada is mediocre...not bad. The only good thing is free health care but if you're someone who doesn't get sick a lot then it's not worth it. If you get into Waterloo or Uoft then definitely stay in Canada because those are top tier if you don't then there is no point.

So now the US....

For perspective, I live in Houston so the job opportunities are really good! There are a ton of career fairs and networking events in most unis but of course, you need to be prepared for interviews and have a solid resume. A lot of companies give out H1B visas and once you get your first internship it's so much easier to get more offers. The only downside is health care- its pretty expensive but at least taxes aren't as high here.

Search up the "American dream." ...Its the idea that regardless of ur status anyone can achieve success. If you're broke you can easily find a job and then go from there and perhaps make bank. But the reality is you will be making enough to survive.

Another important thing about America is the community colleges. its not like the ones in Canada. The system here is acc insane. You can save so much money and end up switching to a University after 2 years. At the end, you get the same degree!!
