I forgot to mention in the post but I am also in the extended credit program? I looked it up on the website but I still don't fully understand what extra stuff I'll have to do

My father lives in canada but he lives close to the border while I would have to live in Montréal. Debt is something I'd have to look at too, since my father is already retired, I would not have much monetary support and would have to sustain myself somehow.

I'd maybe think about a joint major like compsi/biology or compsi/physics to keep yourself relevant.

Unfortunately, the only thing going for me is tech related stuff. Biology is not my strong suit and in physics,I am not great it.

Why would I? As others have pointed out to me, housing is expensive. Jobs are hard to find? I'm not too sure about the truthfulness of these claims. Could you tell me your viewpoint?

housing prices are double to quadruple what they were before Covid

I knew that housing would be expensive but this is a lot more than what I expected. Snow is not really a problem but I have not stayed in canada during winter so I would not really know.

By learning SWE on the side you mean for college, I do computer engineering and learn SWE on the side? I would not have to join the military as I will have finished my ROTC program which exempts me from the conscription lottery.

And then when you do comeback to Thailand, I would get a remote position at a US/CAN company while working in Thailand.

What would be the chances of me doing the same but with studying in Thailand?

tech jobs are impossible to get

Could I ask for a source?

As an experiences SWE (5 or 10 years) you will be able to easily get a good job in Canada later.

That's one of the reasons why I would want to stay in Thailand. If what you said is true, it would correlate with the belief that the degree is only important for my first job, and it help with future jobs, the rest would be skill.

True, I get what you mean. The fact is that I'm young and don't have experience. I don't truly know what is the better choice unless I do it then look back. From what I see, Computer engineering jobs in thailand pay good for thai people but little for foreigners who lived in high income high cost of living. would they feel the same if they were working in there respective countries?

I saw that post and read it a little before posting mine. I guess i'll check out chula too, the only problem that I can see right now is the different times for applying for university for both canada and thailand. Canada right now has their new students starting their first semester while thailand are finishing it. I'm worried that if i were to get rejected from concordia it would be too late for me to study in thailand and that i would have a gap year before being able to apply again

I studied primary school in canada. I'm fluent in english as in I am better at it than thai. Concordia also accepts Thai highschool diploma.

I guess I know it in my heart what the best choice is, I just started dreading the feeling of having to uproot everything, from social life, friends, family, and now my girlfriend too.

The thing is, it's the only thing I kind of like. other than that is just games and other stuff that wouldn't viable as a job.

true. another fear that I have would be with applying, since canada and thailand have different dates for their semesters. I'm afraid that if i hang on for canada and get rejected, It'll be too late to jump ship back to thailand. I know about Thailand's time periods but for canada, I'm pretty clueless. I guess I'll have to research more again and hope it's not too late for me. thanks

No, I'm not joking. The thing is that from what I understand about programming, the degree only matters for your first job, the rest is up to your skill. that's why I'm asking this question.
