Why Study in Canada?
Canada is a first-world country with modern infrastructure, friendly people, and an exquisite natural environment, unlike anything you’ll find elsewhere.
With over 9.9 million square kilometres of land, it’s the second-largest country in the world – making for an incredible array of things to do and places to explore.
As a student living in Canada, you can expect a peaceful, multicultural environment with people who are friendly and interested in learning about new cultures. With almost all of the world’s ethnic groups represented in Canada, it is not hard to find ethnic foods and recreation activities associated with specific cultures.
Due to its high GDP spending on education (ranked 2nd amongst the G-8 countries), student outcomes are on the highest standards. This is also carried over to its universities, with Canadian degrees, diplomas and certificates being well regarded across the world.
With a focus on technology, research, and innovation, you’ll be immersed in a forward-thinking society while collaborating with some of the brightest minds. Classes at university are a combination of lectures and tutorials. Lectures are taught by professors and can contain anywhere between 30 to 200 students. They usually have a linked component such as a lab or a tutorial.
A tutorial or lab allows a more in-depth discussion of topics within a course. The sizes of tutorials generally range anywhere from 20 to 30 students.
Unlike many other destination countries, studying in Canada is very affordable. Usually, undergraduate fees for international students are around CAD $25,000 per year, depending on what course of study and which university. For undergraduate courses such as engineering and medicine, it costs an average of CAD $28,000 per year.
Considering various expenses and living costs for your grocery shopping, social activities and emergency situations, a single student budget in Canada comes around to be approx. CAD $15,000 (indicative) Therefore, it is always better to keep a track of your expenditures so that you do not overspend.
Do you like the city so much that you want to extend your stay there? The country has made it possible for you! International graduates can obtain a Post-Graduation Work Permit and work in Canada for up to 3 years after graduating from a designated Canadian education institution (Colleges, Trade or Technical School, or University).
To be eligible, a student should have continuously studied full-time for the eight months preceding the completion of your course. The student should apply for a work permit within 90 days of receiving written confirmation that you’ve successfully completed your course and that you’re eligible to receive your degree, diploma or certificate. It’s also mandatory to have a valid study permit when applying for your work permit.
What are the odds of you getting a job there? It’s higher than you think because university and trades qualified staff are in high demand across health care, sciences, engineering, business and resources. So, there’s every opportunity to secure a successful job after you’ve graduated.
So, study in Canada to experience and explore a mixture of an internationally recognized education from some of the top educators and multicultural diversity. Get ready for the adventure that awaits you in Canada!
