囡囡明年會到温哥華讀高中,請問要為她準備一些甚麼呢（因為要homestay）？温哥華天氣冷,要在港為她買齊禦寒衣物和電腦這些東西嗎？希望有經驗的朋友指點一吓。多謝！

多謝幾位的提點。我還想請問Planet,你説的保暖杯,它的容量不多,够用嗎？另外午飯通常他們怎様解決？
CHINA_HK,我只是剛剛辦申請所以還末知哪間學校。你的女兒讀第幾班？甚麼學校？她適應得怎様？可以多説一些嗎？因為這些資料可以幫助我或其他有同様打算的人能為兒女準備得好一點呢！

My daughter studies grade 9 this year. In the first two months she need some time to pick up her writing skill since she need to do a lot of writing which take her a lot of time. Besides her fitness test is also not good. So i think if your daughter have time ask her to practise more on writing and do more exercise eg sit up.

我女讀第十班,好快識左好多朋友,但佢住果度購物就無香港咁方便,一定要搭車,行路就要行一個多小時,其實果邊乜都有得賣,只不過自己帶過去會方便d,唔似得香港咁,一落街就乜都有得買,你唔需要擔心,佢地好快會適應到,仲要預備多幾套衣服(包括內衣褲),因為唔似得香港咁,每天洗衫,可能一星期洗一次,我就係咁,要空運d衣物比佢。因為溫哥華多唐人,阿女覺得好難學好英文,所以下學期會轉校。

兩位好,今日精神好返D先見到連"laptop"都串錯

.唉

!
Laptop,我想買部13吋左右大的,輕便D.
衣服我會預多一些,怕佢懶洗冇衫著

.係唔係應該预多D長袖衫呢?
英文方面我都聽好多人講過,我都好無奈

.我個女明年讀11班啦,如果唔去埠仔,係唔係真係唔掂呢?

My daughter is now studying in North Van, as i know there is only a few chinese in her school. Nobody speak chinese/mandrain in school. So she can pick up english more easily. But no ESL in her school.

Dear experience parent,

I would like to send my kinds to Vancover as well in the near future. May I know if there are any good bording school (co-ed is better), cause I got a girl and a boy. Million thanks in advance.

Actually I cam Canadian citizen, but I lived in Toronto for 11 years. I don't wanted to send them to Toronto cause the weather is too cold. I have never been in Vancover before, therefore wanted to get more from all of you.

P.S; By the way are there any website?

想請問一下大家現時溫哥華的大學收生條件概係咩? 需唔需要考TOFEL? 如要, 大概要幾多分 (我知現時TOFEL既分數同我地當年計法唔一樣, 例如當年580-600分即係等於現時幾多分?)

MANY THANKS!

There's another thing which I think is quite important, but nobody has mentioned it here.

When you buy clothes in HK, remember they'll be put to dry in a dryer. The clothes could shrink quite a bit.

As was discussed by many members here, I truly assent to the fact that North Vancouver is a wonderful city to live in, particularly for those new settlers & those who 'd like their kids to settle in an English-speaking environment. There are more native language speakers than Asian, though it is a bit inconvenient in terms of transportation (I mean the distance to & from downtown) and daily shopping, North Van embraces such a good character of a quiet lovely town, where you can enjoy your time & life that will not be able to copy in area such as Richmond.

I received my elementary, secondary, and University in Vancouver. I have many friends who are VISA students. My suggestion would be to go to schools in SURREY or LANGLEY or NORTH VAN. Those places who be more diversified and it would force them to learn English more.

From what I had heard from my VISA friends, homestay is a good choice for the first year in Vancouver because it would provide them a first hand of how Canadian's live. Only by chance that the family would treat your child up to your standards because one family had provided a eating schedule for my friend and a time for her to follow. If she doesnt like the food that it was planned or she wasnt there at that specific time, then you will not have food until the next meal. And if there was a specific time for the doors to be locked at night and if she didnt come back into the house, then she had to find a place to sleep for the night.

After the first year, they usually would group together the friends who use homestay as well and rent one apartment to live in near the school.

I have other pointers that the parents should take notice of. if you want, please PM me.

Fraser Institute seems to only offer rankings on elementary schools, as for high schools ranking, looks like we have to pay to subscribe.

Any other source that we can check on high schools ranking in BC/Canada?

I was much lucky as my host family gave me a key. If missed the meal time or did not have my dinner or lunch when I was home, the host would ask me to get something to eat from the fridge. The usually are very nice, but of course some may be not very good.
