我朋友話其實讀undergrad，分別唔大，係咪呢？

University of Toronto for example ranks around 19 to 20 worldwide. Higher than HKU and many UK universities.

咁又係。。。

At this era, most people would not stop with a first degree. I would say, save money and go to Canada. Then go to US for post grad studies. Personally know a few young people that had their first degree in Canada, then went to an ivy league school for post grad.

要考慮埋將來工作地方，除左最頂尖幾間英國大學，否則將來在加拿大工作地點，當地的大學証書會比較好。

我地一向在香港住，讀完書未必一定要返加拿大住，其實以佢性格，我覺得佢會返香港

If that is the case, dont really see any benefits of going to UK?!

i was in Vancouver for a long time and also worked in the UK.  Most of my friend in Canada go back to HK after graduation/ a few years of work as the job market is not good there.  Some have even moved to calgary to find jobs. Also the tax rate is high and the disposable income is low.  UofT and UBC are very good university though but there're too many chinese.  During my years there i didnt have much exposures to ppl other than chinese.  I do have some friends who are smart enough and moved to the States for grad studies but they're jsut a few of them.  The chinese population in Canada is so concentrated that it would be very tempted to stay in this circle of trust.  Later on i moved to the UK for work and settle in.  It gave me a brand new experience that i never had in Canada.  The culture/ history there truely moved me.  Although im a minority there im more incline to mingle w ppl from diff race and nation.  Now when i step back and looking for a suitable place for my next generation, i would prefer the UK.  However this is very personal experience and opinion and you may have a different view.  to summarise, if you would like a stable, peaceful environment then canada can probably give you a life like in heaven.  if you would like to have adventures, exploration and more life experience the UK maybe a better place.  God bless!

多謝你的詳細回覆，其實我和我先生都係溫哥華讀書，當年已經好多唐人，而家更加唔洗講。所以我地先至會想個仔去英國。但明明可比local 學費讀加拿大既大學，放棄既話好似好儍咁！好矛盾，所以上來問下。你既回覆好有用，多謝哂

yes of course the most cost saving way is to go back to Canada.  Also as his citizenship is inherit from parents (assume he borned in HK) he would need to go back to Canada and stay for 3 years before he turns 18 in order to naturalize his citizenship.   if not he cannot pass his citizenship to his next generation.  This maybe one thing you need to consider other than cost.

the immigration rules keep changing you better keep yourself update.  i think this "grandfather" policy is similar across different countries including the UK.  But for Canada the local can get the citizenship either by birth or granted from canadian parents.  In the UK one of the parents must be a naturalized citizen before it can be passted to their kid despite location of birth place.

My stance is very simple, give the "best" education to kid as long as I can afford it, that is my priority. That's why we gave up the free education  and sent our son to international schools in HK, then went for an even more expensive choice of sending him to UK for upper secondary. Giving up the money-saving choice is silly? I think going for affordable, better quality is always a smart choice !

I'm not saying UK is the best or better choice than Canada here! I don't know about education in Canada at all. My point is I wouldn't look at it from the cost saving angle.

yes, share same view with Ruby1219.  That's why i said if affordable i will ops for the UK.
I didnt say canada is not good but the UK generally gives a better study environment.  When i was in Canada seems i never leave the Chinese group of ppl (as a kid i think this is normal that we incline to stay in a group we're comfortable with) but i can break my comfort zone to mingle with ppl from diff ethnicity when i was in the UK.  However what we think the best may not be the best choice for the kid as their characters/ interests may vary.  Dont force them to accept the "best" in our mind but to follow their own wish (of course we have to make sure we can afford that).

我在加拿大時都有嘗試過融入外國人的生活圈子，但結果都係stick with d 亞洲人及CBC。我都想知係咪英國會好d。
另外考慮係我想個仔學會獨立，但加拿大有親戚，我怕佢會倚賴親戚。但相比去英國，加拿大就容易d適應
