We have all dreamt about studying abroad at a point in our lives. Studying abroad is a prevalent preference these days. As a student, you now have a plethora of choices. Choosing the right destination to pursue higher education can be extremely challenging. Presently, the top destinations for Indian students are Australia, Canada, UK, Germany, and the US. Out of these countries, Canada stands tall with its top-notch education and incomparable post-study benefits.
Here are a few reasons why Canada remains to date the first choice of International Students:
ONE OF THE BEST PLACES TO LIVE!
If you are wondering which is the best country to live in? Look no further than Canada. Canada is famous across the globe for its impeccable standards of living. Their diverse society accepts people from all walks of life. From the Social Security Schemes to the clean environment, everything is of excellent quality. However, what sets Canada apart from most countries is their Health Care Benefits. The Canadian government offers free and Publicly funded Health Care to all its citizens and permanent residents. Moreover, for a senior citizen, Canada is just the perfect place to live. Almost all Canadians above 65 years of age receive a universal pension in the form of Old Age Security (OAS).
If this isn’t exciting enough, Canada ranks 10th out of 37 high-income OECD countries and is also one of the least corrupt nations in the World.
A WORLD-CLASS EDUCATION
As students, it’s crucial to choose a country that offers you quality education, and it’s merely icing on the cake if it’s from a world-renowned university. Worry no more! Canada is home to some of the top Universities in the World, such as:
- McGill University (Canada’s dearest Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is an alumnus!);
- University of Toronto;
- The University of British Columbia; and many more
Most of these universities offer the most exceptional education at a very affordable price. The cost of living is comparatively cheaper and being a “student-friendly” nation, you may work part-time while you study. Canada also offers numerous scholarships and bursaries; some of these scholarships even provide a full fee waiver.
LUCRATIVE POST-STUDY OPPORTUNITIES
Currently, Canada offers you the best Post Graduate Work Permit (PGWP) options. If you are an international student studying a 2-year program, you receive a PGWP of three years. You can make use of this time to gain the experience necessary for your Permanent Residence application or even obtain a job offer. Canada’s unemployment rates are low, and with a Canadian degree, you have increased employment potential.
WIDE-ARRAY OF IMMIGRATION PROGRAMS
Canada offers a wide array of immigration programs to cater to the needs of international students. As an international student who is looking to settle in Canada, you have primarily three pathways:
- Federal Express Entry program – under the Canadian Experience Class
- Provincial nomination programs
- Pilot programs
Among these programs, the Atlantic Immigration Pilot program offers a specific pilot program for International graduates called the Atlantic International Graduate Program. This particular program is implemented to cater to the immigration needs of international students who meet the eligibility requirements to settle in Canada after their studies.
FLEXIBLE PART-TIME WORK OPTIONS
Canada is one of the few nations that offer international students the opportunity to work while enrolled in a study program. Unlike its global counterparts, Canada lets a student work once they are studying full-time at a publicly funded institution. Under the Canadian immigration rules, a full-time student can work for 20 hours per week if they are working off-campus. However, if the student chooses to work on-campus, there is no time restriction! Students are allowed to work off-campus without a time restriction during semester breaks.
BRING YOUR FAMILY ALONG!
Often, students give up their higher education dreams as they don’t want to stay away from their families for such a prolonged duration. Canada’s study permits are structured to resolve this issue. You can now move to Canada for your studies with your spouse and children. Your children can study for free in Canadian Public Schools. Further, your spouse can obtain an open work permit for the duration of your study.
PROGRESSIVE SOCIETIES
Canada is well-known across the globe for its progressive governance and society. The Canadian government is one of the World’s least corrupt nations. They introduce from time to time several programs to bring about social and cultural equality. Canada’s society is appreciated for its welcoming and inclusive outlook. Racial discrimination cases are comparatively low. Canadians hardly exhibit anti-immigration sentiments, and this encourages the government to introduce many immigration programs.
The breath-taking landscape and the friendly culture are the few other perks of studying in Canada. Avail the services of qualified Canadian immigration lawyers to know more about the study programs and to apply for your study permit to Canada.
