I enjoy teaching and explaining what I am good at or what I know
well. I don't want to live a life of oppression under stress. I want to
study what I want to do and live a life where I do what I want to do. I
am good at persuading others in the process of explaining to
someone and finding a solution to a problem. So I will study the ECE
that teaches and takes care of young children.
The advantage of ECE is that the admission requirements are not
difficult for foreign students to study. The disadvantage is that it is not
an easy field for men to approach because it is a field for women.
Also, it's never easy because it's taking care of children. The salary
is not bad, with an average of $20. Above all, the big merit of ECE is
that it has a good future outlook. As the number of immigrants
increases, so will the number of children and the number of ECE
teachers they need. Compared to office work, ECE is an opportunity
to improve English skills by talking with children and with the same
teachers.

3. Planning
If I go to a private or public college that offers ECE programs, and
take the program for about one year for private and two years for
public, I can get a certificate. If I graduate from a private college, I get
a job through LMIA, and if I graduate from a public college, I get a job

Post-Secondary Option
Actually, I'm not good at computers and I'm not interested. However,
my current status in Canada is 'foreign international student' and
there are not many occupational and university departments open to
international students. Even if there is, whether it can lead to
permanent residency varies widely depending on the field.
Therefore, from my point of view of wanting to live in Canada, I need
permanent residency as soon as possible after graduation, and for
this, it is desirable to choose a field with a high employment rate
regardless of aptitude.
The advantage of this is that after completing this course, I will be
able to work in almost all fields related to computing. It is also a field
that is open to foreigners, especially Asians, and the future
prospects are also very good. The best advantage is that CIT within
BC is a field that connects with permanent residency, so it is only a
matter of time before graduating and receiving permanent residency
after employment. The downside is that I am not good at computers
and I am not even interested in them, so I don't know if it will suit my
aptitude.
1. Computer literacy
2. mathematical thinking
3. Creativity
Computer-related departments can take a two-year CIT course as a
famous college and get a job as a work permit after graduation.
