如果選擇公校，搵agent 係多餘，當地親友就真係可以幫手。僅記要預約做評估，父母要飛過去，要帶香港成績表，要帶父母passport及公民證證明eligibility。香港成績表只係用作証明小朋友有否接受持續性教育，同 assign 邊間學校 ...

你突然成為大家明燈,因你資料UPDATE,好有用.  

我想問好實際的問題,佢要你出示住址證明,但你是否在香港住,只留小朋友在家的親友照顧? 那是否要叫你親友寫租單比你當你住址證明? 還是要你親友作你仔監護人? 我就係為此煩惱!

johnnyrotten

假如大仔決定留低，太太會先回港辭職然後長居加拿大，以符合安省規定，所以太太填報佢係第一監護人，第二監護人可以親友做。至於住址則由親友出封信證明都可以，無須租單。

其他方法未聽過。

UBC 和 MCGILL 要求三年，WATERLOO 要求四年。
要在加拿大讀高中，或在外地的 english language school system 的學校讀，包括例如香港的國際學校。
有些大學會承認一些國際性的考試，例如 igcse，ibdp 等某個水平的英語課 ...

你的意思，是否唔夠三年或四年，要入UBC， MCGILL 和 WATERLOO，就要考埋TOFEL？

好像有很多事要安排。
想問問，是否只因為年齡問題？
即某個年齡下的少年，要有監護人？
如果我女兒大學才回加拿大，應該可以避過這些 "麻煩"？ ...

As I know, and you can also find info thru your child's high school consellor office, that if you do not study at least 4 years in Canada/US, then your child has to take TOEFL test. Besides, if you are not sure, take it as well.

Anne123, your question of guardianship, if your child is less than 18/19, then he/she has to have guardianship. If he/she goes to a boarding shool, then the boarding school acts as a guardian. If not, then you (as a mother) will be the guardian.

Besides, if any of you apply for a private school for your child, some schools will need your child to do an assessment, but some don't. It also depends on the academic report of your child. I know that some schools will have admission officers coming over to HK and China for admisson purposes every year, and you can ask for an interview (face to face) at the same time. Then maybe they will ask you to do the assessment at the same time??

為兒女, 辛苦點冇問題.

我都覺得係同年齡有關, 喺英國讀高中都有相同規定.

大學先返加拿大，應該可以避過這些麻煩. 不過第一年要交 Overseas 學費, 我同事家姐個女就係咁! 仲有, 好科目優先次序可能會較後, 呢個係魚與熊掌問題.

familyking,

I know that if your child is a citizen, and apply for a local high school, then the school board will ask 1. either birth certificate of your child / canadian citizenship / immigration status, 2. sin card number, 3. immunization record of your child, 4. residence proof

我女兒學校很多學生都是大學才回加拿大，我有相熟朋友的兒子現在讀 ubc year 2，沒聽他說學費不同，也沒聽說選科有不同。有多點資料可以參考嗎？ ...

第一年要交 Overseas, 係我同事告訢我, 佢個姨甥女今年考唔到香港d大學, 所以7, 8 月先報加拿大U.

至於學科我講得唔好, 應該學系.

Hi leeamy,

係咪最好係香港完成中二就番去讀 grade 9, 咁先可以讀夠四年 high school 入大學 ? 同埋唔駛考TOEFL 試, 我就唸住最好係香港讀埋中三先過去, 係咪遲左D定係都 OK ?

Tks a lot !

Hi Johnnyrotten,

我細伯叔仔今年讀UBC,佢話要最少看在加HIGH SCHOOL 3年成績,否則就算公民都要考TOFEL. 所以你決定回CANADA讀HIGH SCHOOL再上大學,最好吾好遲過GRADE 10.

咁你同你老婆會吾做太空人, 還是你會留太太一人在加照顧小朋友,你在港博殺?對不起,恕我冒昧問D咁私人問題,因我亦是可能要犧牲,所以想得特別多. 又想照顧D仔,又吾想長期同老公分開,正想辦法中.  你估home stay可行否? 但我知一般被international student住,由學校介紹, 但知否有無私人home stay呢?  但又怕比學校知道無家長在加,會否比人發現,以為我地騙福利. 唉,真煩…..好彩仲有兩年想想辦法.

Hi familyking,

其實講就仲有兩三年時間, 不過都要準備好多野, 我唸出年中二開學後如果唸住讀私校就要搵定d agent 幫手, 同埋睇定邊間學校比較好d, 如果讀公校又要唸定幾時過去做評估, agent 同我講如果讀 grade 10, 要我地中三9月一開學就要攪, 因為一般都係下年1月之前攪好哂, 9月過去讀 grade 10, 學校申請好跟住仲有一大堆野煩, 搵屋買/租樓, 考番個driving license, 之後既生活就接送番學煮早餐, 夜晚煮飯佢食, 又擔心佢係學校識唔到朋友, 一大堆問題成日係我個腦到.......

The following is taken directly from my son's high school university counselling webpage about TOEFL:

If your first language is not English and you will have been studying at XX School (or any English-speaking school in an English-speaking country) for fewer than four academic years including your grade 12 year, you should take TOEFL. Some universities will accept just three years of study instead of four (e.g. UBC, Queen’s), but you should do careful research before deciding whether to take it, or not.
In some cases, universities have asked international students to produce a TOEFL score even if they have the four years of study in Canada, particularly if the student’s high school English marks are low. In these cases, the university is looking to gain more information about the applicant’s level of English with the help of a standardized test score.

Final word: If in doubt, take the test.

首先好多謝你的資料, 亦好明白你的憂慮!

我太太會在加陪伴大仔, 而我會留港工作照顧細仔. 正如我第一個 post 提過, 我希望兩兄弟可以先學好中文及普通話, 好彩細仔尚有三年便小學畢業, 只是分開約兩年, 大家又可團聚, 況且期間可以探望.

其實我太太服務國際性機構, 多倫多有分公司, 她申請分公司職位係有很大優勢, 這亦是她拍晒心口陪仔的原因.

至於你的問題我好難比建議, 要有犧牲在所難免. 你的親友還在加國嗎? 冇記錯的話, 公校都可以收 overseas student, 而且學費比私校便宜, 呢方面你最好求證一下. 只要交學費, 就唔係欺騙福利, 領正牌揾你親友做監護人都得, 到你個仔18歲入大學, 你係唔係居民已不是問題. 當然如要講究校風, 又會再將問題複雜化.

yes, most private schools have admission officers come to HK and China for admission. So if you apply early, then ask for a face-to-face interview when they come. BTW, you can apply private schools easily for Canadian high schools, no need to look for an agent.
