-Dhir

However, as long as you are a full time international student or in co op term, you can continue to drive here with your home country license. If you have your home country licence you have to submit that to the registry in order to skip the waiting time in obtaining the license and you won't get your original license back.If you don't want to submit that then you have to obtain a new license as if you have never had one Please visit the ISS website for more details
Most destinations in Edmonton are accessible by bus and the Light Rail Transit (LRT) operated by the Edmonton Transit System (ETS). The ETS Trip Planner can help you find a route to your destination. LRT Trains arrive once every 5 15 minutes depending on the time of the day. Most bus routes run every 15 30 minutes, depending on the time and season. Check the ETS website for route changes. You can also text your bus stop number to 31100 to see when the next bus is arriving. Google Map should be able to tell you about the buses you need to take and the whole route. On each route, buses normally operate in two directions, so select the right direction bus based on the last bus stop of that route, which will be written on the bus screen.
The most famous and long lasting season is winter. It can last anywhere from early November until late March, with a potential of getting as low as 40°C.
Wearing layers of clothing is a crucial part to make it through avoiding frostbite and hypothermia. Thermal wear is very useful to keep your body dry and warm, a couple of woollen sweaters, pants and socks, proper winter shoes, mittens/gloves, hats/toques and a scarf.
CLOTHING
Fall takes place from early September with more rainy and windy weather, up until mid November, where some hoodies and light jackets come in handy. For seasonal clothing, it is worth checking out Southgate Mall, which is the closest to the campus and requires taking a train from University Station to Southgate(towards Century Park). Also, Edmonton is a home for one of North America’s largest indoor malls West Edmonton Mall, with over 800 stores, largest indoor waterpark and other attractions.
Shopping for winter gear can start as early as mid fall, but you can catch Black Friday deals on Friday, November 27th.
F A L L A N D W I N T E R
As for stores, more budget friendly would be Ardene, Urban Planet, and Walmart. There are basic stores with good deals and affordable prices, such as H&M, Zara, and Hollister. As for more on a higher pricing range, there is Aritzia, Abercrombie & Fitch, Columbia, North Face and Levi’s. For winter parkas, it is important to choose better quality ones from Canada Goose, The North Face, Moose Knuckles, and Columbia. For snow shoes, consider timberland.
