It is possible that students may finish writing exams before the final day of the semester. Note that some students enjoy extending their stay in Canada after the exam period because it is a good opportunity to travel.

Canada has 4 different seasons.
| Season | When | Temperature variation | Average |
| Fall | Sept. to Nov. | Between 20ºC and 5ºC | 10ºC |

应该什么时候预订回国机票?
学期结束之后你随时可以回国。
你可以在查看学期日程表。考试时间一般在期末结束前的六周左右公布。你可以在学期结束前考完试。不过有的学生喜欢期末后留在加拿大，因为这个时候适合旅游。
