  1. Dear friends Thank you for your comments. I really appreciate the time that you dedicated for guiding me. 1- Regarding choosing between USA and Canada from my point of view, Although it may be incorrect, I think USA has much more job opportunities with higher payments and possible promotions (because USA has much more industries). 2-Regarding USA and Canada visa comparison, The US visa has a disadvantages. Unfortunately USA only issue single Entry visa for Iranian students and so I cannot see my family during my PhD and even before getting green card. 3-Regarding UBC stipend, 1300 $ is a net stipend after deducting tuition. However I have spouse and my great concern is that we cannot afford expenses in Vancouver. I have calculated that we need about extra 700-800$ each month for a usual life style. I am thinking about finding a causal job for her during my study but I do not now how much it is applicable. Friends that live in Vancouver, Is it easy to find a causal job in Vancouver for an international person? The city of Vancouver is a great place to live, however I afraid that I experience financial hardships that affect my PhD study. Victorydance told that my chance for finding a job in US is lower with UBC degree (because it is outside of US). If it is true, why I should not select one of US schools and have easier life in there? Thank you very much
  2. Hi guys I am a M.Sc graduate in electrical engineering and I applied to PhD program for spring semester. I have got 4 admission with funding and I will be very grateful if you guide me for selecting the best admission. University of British Columbia (UBC)-stipend 1300$ Kansas state university-RA+fellowship (stipend 2000$+TW) Florida international university-stipend 1600$ University of Akron- stipend 1700$ UBC is very well-known in comparison to my other admissions. However Considering the fact that my ultimate goal is finding a job in USA, I wonder if it is a right decision to study at UBC which is in Canada. Thank you in advance. Any comment is appreciated.
