I am planning to send my son for higher studies abroad in particular to Canada. He would finish his 12th grade from CBSE Science stream from an Indian school hopefully next year 2014. My son wish to do his bachelor degree in Mechanical Engineering in an affordable Canadian university. The information available in the net and the people who wish to offer services are too many and some are misleading. The preliminary preparations,eligibility,the require funds etc., are some of the issues which I wish to know from any panel members of this forum who is aware and had gone through similar procedures to obtain an admission in an university abroad.
