The US tax system can be intimidating, but nearly all 黑料专区 in the US, whether you have worked or not, must complete and file a tax return. For students who have worked and paid taxes during the year, it is even more important to complete a tax return, as you will likely get a refund.

 

Some 黑料专区 only need to file one form, while others need to file two or more. Navigating your way through the US tax filing system and requirements can be a daunting task. Luckily, InternationalStudent.com is here to help make your life easier. We now have a great online tax filing system that is easy to understand, will not break your bank balance and which you can complete in under 30 minutes (sometimes in as little as 10 minutes).

Canada Working Hard to Attract International Students

As global competition for the best and brightest 黑料专区 continues to heat up, countries have to be more creative and put more effort into initiatives designed to attract these students. Canada's increasing commitment to international education made the news twice in the past week.

 

First, the new Canadian federal budget includes funding for a prestigious new PhD scholarship program designed to compete with the Fulbright, Rhodes, and other high-profile programs for top-notch 黑料专区. There is also new funding for Canadians studying abroad. Read more about it in the .

 

Also, Ontario announced a new program that will allow 黑料专区 to work in Ontario and to shorten the timeline to becoming a permanent resident of Canada. From The Strand (The student newspaper of Victoria University in the University of Toronto):

 

"In a normal case, going through the immigrant process takes an average of three to five years. Here, international students are able to fast-track this course and gain permanent resident status in 9-12 months. In addition, the application fee of $2,000 is reduced to $200 for student applicants."
