5. Is it easy to find a flat or an apartment to live in?

Yes. Using the internet and postings at universities. A lot of factors to consider: dorms, basements, living with room mates, living with a family, renting an apartment, low-rise, distance from university,....

6. Will we be allowed to work off campus? If so, is it easy to have a job related to (or concerned with) our field of study (CS) based solely on our Damascus University graduation certificate?

International students have more restrictions on working in general. After spending 6 months as a student at the university in Canada, they could apply for an off-campus work permit to allow them working part-time and full-time in vacations / summer. Finding a job in the field of studies can be sometimes difficult.

7. Are there any scholarships for studying in Canada that are accessible to the international students and what their perquisites?

This requires a further research and extra efforts by the student.

8. At the end any advice you give us would be appreciated

Apply to as many universities as you can.
