Student Perspectives
“My Transfer from ANC to York University was seamless and a fast process, all the credits go to Ms. Manouri, Ms. Prabhavi and other amazing staff at ANC who guided me through the entire transfer. York University is in one of the most culturally diverse city in the world, Toronto, vibrant downtown to calm suburbs and lakes, the contrast is stunning. I was amazed on how easily I was able to settle into a completely different country within days… Ontario is also a hub for parttime jobs and internships which helps the students to gain the much needed experience after their graduation. Studying in Ontario would be ideal for students transferring from Sri Lanka, the astounding number of high ranked universities to choose from and the student perks you receive makes this the state you should continue you degree,” says Mercian Tousaint. He joined ANC’s US/ Canadian Transfer program after his ALs at Colombo International School and transferred to York University in spring 2017.
