Why do students prefer to study in Canada

Indian students studying abroad is not a new phenomenon. In fact, the number of Indian students studying abroad has steadily increased over the last few years. According to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), 2,61,406 Indian students travelled abroad in 2020, with an additional 71,769 doing so in 2021.

Despite the fact that they frequently travel to various locations around the world for their studies, students have been increasingly choosing Canada as a study destination in recent years. What are the main factors in a situation like this that make Canada one of the best study destinations in the world?

EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARE FLEXIBLE AND EXCELLENT

The country offers a variety of benefits to international students studying within its borders. To begin, Canadian colleges and universities offer several highly sought-after specialty programmes in business, engineering, healthcare, and information technology.

One of the main draws for students studying here is the availability of co-op courses, which allow international students to pursue degrees with alternating periods of work and study and provide students with practical and theoretical knowledge.

CULTURE OF WARMTH

Canada's allure is enhanced by its multiculturalism and beautiful scenery. Furthermore, unlike many other countries, Canada is known for its friendly culture. Canada is a popular choice for international students because of all of these benefits and a high standard of living.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR WORK

Because of its unique legislation, Canada allows all international students to work up to 20 hours per week during their semesters and full-time during their summer and winter breaks. You won't need a separate work permit to work on campus or as an intern at any business because your study permit will cover your search for a part-time job.

AFFORDABILITY

When compared to institutions in the United States and the United Kingdom, tuition in Canada is slightly less expensive. When the return on investment is considered, it is a very wise choice for Indian students. You can also apply for a variety of Canadian scholarships to help you pay for your education.

FAVOURS IMMIGRANTS

According to data from Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), 97.5 percent of international graduates who applied for permanent residency in Canada were granted. As a result, they were granted legal status in the country to stay and work from January to October 2021. This makes for an appealing proposition for students who want to relocate through higher education.

The Post-Graduation Work Permit Program (PWPP) in Canada allows students to stay and work in the country for up to three years after graduation. You could work abroad for a while before applying for permanent residency.
It is always best to contact a destination specialist to arm students with the necessary knowledge if they become overwhelmed and require assistance during their study abroad experience.
