    I left school at 16 and went back this year at age 19 to do my Leaving Cert. I wasn't looking for points, I was just looking to pass everything, which I did.

    My plan was to obtain a level 6 this year then go abroad (hopefully Canada) to university next year. But I didn't get into the level 6 I applied for this year.

    So is there any other way I could do a PLC course this year that could ensure I end up in Canada or elsewhere next year?

    To be honest I feel miserable in Ireland and want to get out of here ASAP.

    How would I go about studying abroad next year?
    Or would I have to wait til next year to do a level 6 then the year after to go abroad?

    You would need to check with the Canadian colleges what residency requirements they have and whether they accept FETAC awards for entry requirements. Most countries have very high fees for non-citizens.

    I'm a Canadian citizen since I'm young that's why I'm opting for Canada. How would I find out what the entry requirements are?

    Contact the colleges. They should have them on their websites.

    Even if you're a citizen, they still might have residency requirements, like Ireland has.
