UW campus
The city campus of UW provides students with countless opportunities for work and recreation — from sitting in a coffee shop with a laptop to internships at large companies. Waterloo has a well developed entertainment infrastructure, but the rhythm of the big city can be distracting for some students. The university students have access to the library. It is an integral part of learning. Students come here for educational literature or to do their homework. Not only locals study at UW, but also students from other countries. This is a unique opportunity to get in touch with the culture of other countries, meet representatives of different nationalities and make friends around the world.
After graduation, you can stay in Canada for a period of 1 to 3 years. To do this, the graduate draws up a special visa, which allows one to work even without an official offer from an employer. Look for more immigration options in our article.
