There are several institutions of higher learning in Toronto. Foremost would be the University of Toronto. There is also York University, Ryerson College, George Born College, Humber College, As well as a series of other diploma and certificate based courses provided by any number of smaller colleges and training centers.
If you are looking to go to schoo, I would look into the applications process prior to making the move. I have given you the names of some of the large school is Toronto, it is just a matter of contacting them and completing the application. That will definitely take care of your studies. You may also want to explore bursaries, work study programs or student jobs offered through the university to help take care of your cost of living. All of this information will be available through the financial aid office.
All of the aforementioned schools have on site residences that will take care of living accommodations for the first little while until you are able to figure out what neighborhood best suits your lifestyle and budget.
All you need is some college and university calenders and a copy of Toronto Life magazine. Everything you will need to know in terms of what to study and where to go will be included in there.

maybe you should start by VISITING CANADA yourself. Maybe you could specify where you want to go because CANADA is a big country. Your Green card will mean nothing to the Canadian Gov't though. If you're not an American citizen, it may be difficult to just enter spontaneously. If you go to school here and get a degree (so 4 years), you'll have a visa that allows you to work here an additional 18 months. Keep in mind that during those 4 years, you can't hold a full time job and you have no access to any public services. After you get your visa, you'd have to get a social insurance card to get a job, and a bunch of other stuff...it's not so easy. All in all, make sure this move is what you want. Educate yourself a bit on Canada, and visit the country.

i don't know if this will help but i currently live in toronto and am hoping to move to new york when i am older. I can honestly say this is a great city and the process to live here is much easier than it is for a canadian going to america. Immigrant policies are quite flexible. There are many job opportunities and wonderful towns outside the city where you can raise a family. There are also many universities and colleges in the area to continue your studies. Good luck!

Why go from one big city to another big city? Why not stay here in the states and go west to a smaller city or town? There are millions of places to go here in the U.S. where life would be better. Find a town or city that has maybe 100,000 or less in it. I live in a city of 250,000 and we have the lifestyle and attitude of a town of 75,000. Its not the best place but it dang sure aint the worst. I look it the city where I live as a "two hour" town. In 2 hours I can be in Los Angeles. In 2 hours I can be standing on the beach or standing on a mountain 9000 feet up. Reconsider moving to another town or city in the states. Come on out to California. There's lots to see.

If you are in the US on a student visa and dropped out of school, you are now here illegally. Apparently what you need to do is get a student visa for Canada from whatever country you left.
