Thanks Dev... was at Oxford for a while so not sure if I want to put myself through that again ;) Anyone have any ideas about how easy it is to get funding as a Brit in Canada, and also is there a league table for research at canadian universities? Many thanks. Elham - start a new thread with your post, you'll get more responses!
Lucia, there is one university guide you can use for Canadian universities http://www.macleans.ca/universities/article.jsp?content=20031106_133202_2948 As for funding, most PhD positions (at least in my area) are fully-funded, especially in Ontario and British Columbia ( I mean provinces). As I know there are some problems with funding in Quebec. In general the best universities are Toronto, Queens', McGill. But it all depends on your research area. Info about all unis you can get at its association http://www.aucc.ca/index_e.html
My advice would be: identify the programmes you are interested in (look at the professors you could be interested in working with - that is important!)and email their PhD offices asking what kind of funding they have avaliable at department and univesity level. If you have any other questions, please, ask. I spent there several years doing my Master's and working as a research assistant and I will be happy to help if I can.
i am doing MSc Applied Psychology (international student). i do have plenty of professional experience (not london). i am planning to do my Phd or some specialisation in the related field if anyone could guide me as how i must proceed n from where to start i intend to go for some kind of funding/ scholarship as it is impossible for me to study further on self funding. either in UK or in Canada . and yes any ideas which universities are good in Counselling are specailly to do with CBT or anyother ideas...

Thank you so much for all this great info, especially Dev and Alan. I only just rechecked my post after a long vacation so apologies for not thanking until now. How well-respected is a Phd, in general terms, from Canada? How difficult is it to get a place? Many thanks again.
