How to apply to a University in Canada as an International student

Congratulations on this new step you are about to take. During this period last year, I was on this same journey of learning how to apply to a University in Canada, what schools to choose in Canada, what province to choose in Canada, etc. The journey for me began in January 2021, when I realised I would be coming to Canada.
