Tourism is one of the important industries in many developed countries.

Therefore, the major of hotel and tourism management has always been a hot major in Canada.

With the continuous recovery and rapid development of the global economy, the tourism and hotel industries in developed countries have developed well. The fierce competition between hotels makes the company need more and more excellent managers. Because many people don't know much about this industry, few graduates in Canada are engaged in hotel management. The data shows that the development speed and employment rate of the hotel industry in the world and China have far exceeded the traditional industries. The salary and social welfare income of the hotel industry are much higher than those of other traditional industries, and its working status will rise steadily with the increase of work experience. All cities in China regard tourism as the source of economic growth, and government and social investment will continue to increase, making it one of the industries with great development potential.

The major of hotel and tourism management requires students to master the basic theory of economic management, the basic knowledge of hotels, restaurants and tourism, and the basic management and service capabilities of hotels. Tutors usually have industry background, and the school will also arrange speeches from people in the industry and organize hotel visits to help students learn how to contact customers. How to develop products that meet customers' needs and how to manage facilities are the core abilities that students should master. The first impression made by the hotel industry is very important, so students must learn to pay attention to details.

This major also attaches great importance to the cultivation of students' hotel management skills, service skills and related qualities. It will arrange paid internship courses for every student, and the salary is not low, which not only effectively improves students' practical work ability, but also provides more opportunities for graduates' career development on a global scale.

Judging from the characteristics of the industry, the hotel industry especially needs those middle and senior talents with strong professionalism and comprehensive ability. Those talents with strong language skills, global vision, the most advanced training and practical experience in the world will be particularly favored by hotels. At the same time, as a practical subject, hotel management is also very easy to learn.

Further reading: How to choose institutions for studying in Canada?

1. Do not know enough about the school.

Many people misunderstand the size of the school. Some people just want to go to college, while others want to apply for a smaller college. These ideas cannot be completely correct, and the teacher-student ratio is not necessarily large, so it is not a good choice.

Moreover, people's cognition of colleges and universities is basically online, and the information obtained is relatively one-sided. Especially those who intend to apply by themselves, because basically institutions will update their conditions frequently. If the information they see has expired, it will definitely affect their application.

2. Just look at the ranking.

QS, THE and so on are updated every year, but the focus of these rankings is actually different, so don't just look at one of them, so you may miss the one that suits you.

These rankings can be referenced, but don't make a final decision because of them. Aura can definitely make you more dominant, but this is only one of the factors that everyone chooses. Whether you can develop yourself depends on the professional situation.

This document is not true.

Admissions people generally have to read a lot of documents, and it is easy to see through which documents are packaged. The document you write should show your basic situation and highlight the highlights. Some experiences may have your own personality, but the admissions officer may have seen many people write them. So write down what you have done and pay attention to the key points to avoid similarities.

4. Letters of recommendation are confusing

Many students think that the more background, the greater the possibility of being admitted, so they find many people to write letters of recommendation to them. But in fact, if you have never worked for these people, these letters of recommendation will be seen through quickly. What the school here wants to see is the recommendation letter written by the student tutor, which can show what interests and specialties the students have.

5. Don't pay attention to the interview

There are indeed many students applying to Canada now, so most universities will not come for interviews in person. So if you can have an interview, you must seize it. You may have a big reversal during the interview, so you must be prepared accordingly.

6. Don't pay attention to your own details

Some schools will also add students' Facebook friends to see what the students have posted. So please be careful not to post strange things here. What you send is something that can show your personal interests and hobbies and your major.

7. Don't care about the scholarship application

If you plan to apply for scholarships, you need to know in advance that there are many scholarships in Canadian universities. As long as your school admission is not a "need to be blind" standard, it will be easier for you to be admitted if you apply for a scholarship. But this admission is related to the students' own economic situation. You can pay attention to relevant regulations.

8. The application has not been followed up continuously.

I feel that the materials have been handed in, or I have got the offer to study abroad. Actually, it's not like this. If you want to apply for studying abroad, you must always remember to follow up and see if there are any other requirements of the school, which step the application is going to, what materials need to be supplemented, and so on. Everyone should always pay attention to and follow up, and don't miss all the information sent by the school, so that you can be more sure.

Life tips that Canadian students must know.

1. Life

Canadians are straightforward and frank. If you don't agree, you will generally refuse it in person, so international students should adapt as soon as possible after they go. If you need help, you should ask as soon as possible. If you don't ask, Canadians will think you don't need it, so they won't take the initiative to help. Therefore, students who are introverted and not good at expression should be cheerful and take the initiative to communicate with others, and your language level will also improve quickly. Here is a special reminder that in the eyes of Canadians, silence is very impolite. So, take the initiative to say hello, say hello more and say thank you more, such as "good morning, good afternoon, thank you for a lovely dinner." When you are not sure about anything, ask: May I? Do you mind ... "Very important.

2. Residence

As we all know, Canada is a very livable country. With a population of just over 30 million, the buildings are more spectacular than those in China. There are three options for international students' accommodation: school dormitory, host family and off-campus rental. If there are no relatives or friends in the local area, it is recommended to live in a university dormitory, but the cost of the dormitory is slightly higher than that of renting a house off campus, and the dormitory mainly serves western food, which may not be suitable for oriental tastes. Living in a host family is not only cheap, but also students are regarded as part of the family. They can take care of their daily diet and use the equipment in the house. But it is better to suggest that students take the initiative to help with some housework. Renting a house off campus can be shared by several people, such as some apartment units, urban houses and detached houses. Sharing will reduce the cost, but it will also reduce your communication opportunities with local people. Specific can be handled according to their own situation.

3. Medical aspects

Hospitals in Canada can diagnose common diseases free of charge, but they need to pay about 20% of the medicine fee. Moreover, in Canada, it usually takes a long time to see a doctor if it is not an emergency. It's more troublesome than our country, and medicine is also expensive. Therefore, it is suggested that before studying in Canada, you must bring enough commonly used drugs to treat colds, fever and falls to prevent problems before they happen.

4. Other tips

When you go abroad for the first time, you can bring a draft with you, and then you can open an account in a local bank in Canada. It will be done in half an hour. The remittance fees of different banks are different, so I suggest you choose more when you arrive. And it is more convenient to open an account in a local bank.

Canadians have to make an appointment in advance for many things. You should make an appointment for business, personal affairs, job interviews, entertainment and even visiting friends' homes. Uninvited guests are not welcome.
