Benefits of Canadian Education

Canada's Technological Wave

The technological industries in Canada are growing massively big and are well built To name a few, the communications industry, the digital media field, biotech services, and almost all engineering industries are booming by the day.

Canada is the first country that linked schools and libraries with the Internet, which is termed as the ‘SchoolNet’ program. Through this program, nearly 90% of Canadian households are connected to the Internet. Wi-Fi is accessible virtually everywhere in the country.

Emergency Response Benefit

Education in Canada benefits international students in more ways than one. The Canadian education system has increased work duration from 20 hours to 40 hours in some occupations.

The Canadian Government has also opened up the Canada Emergency Response Benefit, which offers $2,000 per month for students.

Emergency Student Benefit

Education in Canada has stepped up to show how much the country cares and supports its students with the implementation of the Canada Emergency Student Benefit (CESB). The CESB is designed to provide employment and financially support the students who are paying off student loans.

The CESB will also support the students and new graduates who are not eligible for Employment Insurance or cannot work due to COVID-19. CESB provides $1,250 per month for the eligible students. Students with dependents or disabilities will be offered $2,000 per month through this scheme.

Mental Health Support for Youth

Canada extends its help to students who are unable to cope up during these difficult times. To ease stress and anxiety the Canadian Government has funded $7.5 million towards mental health awareness during COVID-19.

Part-time and Post Study work rights

A post-graduation work permit (PGWP) allows you to stay in Canada and work full time for up to three years after your graduation. Usually, online courses do not count as a study requirement for a PGWP application.

Due to the ongoing pandemic situation worldwide, Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) have taken a step ahead in allowing international students to study online. Also, International students can work part-time in Canada while studying.

Now for some fun facts about Canada:

• Residents of Churchill, Canada, leave their cars unlocked to offer an escape for pedestrians who might encounter Polar Bears.
• In the Northwest Territories of Canada, the License plates are shaped like polar bears. So much for the love of bears, huh!
• Canada consumes more macaroni and cheese than any other nation in the world. Yess! Say, Mac n’ cheese!

Interesting right? It's time to start your study abroad journey in the maple land!

Confused about the process? Well then, it’s time to suit up for the largest virtual education event of the year that will help you launch your future!
