Studying abroad can be an exciting phase in your life. But such an endeavor requires planning, a bit of how the country works, and general information about the university, standard of living, living accommodations, and a lot of other important stuff.
Canada has some of the prestigious colleges in the world and is an international destination for students to pursue their studies. Studying in Canada does have its perks – lucrative job offers, better pay, a higher standard of living to mention a few.
Choosing the best university
Canada has a number of
colleges and universities that are funded publicly and fully accredited by
known regulatory bodies. This means the students have a high chance of
procuring an illustrious job after their studies as many universities and
colleges have placement facilities. Innvictis Edutech can help and makes this
process easy for a student as we provide comprehensive information about each
university, course, and living conditions abroad.
• Acceptance Rate is high for Canada
Canada is one of those
countries where there is a huge number of study courses and easy entry
requirements, one being as basic as a high school diploma for instance. Other
requirements include excellent communication skills in English, clearing
entry-level exams for vocational courses like medicine, engineering, and law,
etc. Compared to other countries, Canadian universities have an encouraging approach towards international students with high acceptance
possibilities.
• Canada is affordable for students
Next comes your
budget, accommodation, food, and other expenses, which seems substantially high
if you choose to study abroad. However, Canada is affordable as the government
and universities have affordable fee structure and scholarship programs for
bright candidates. Compared to the US, Australia, and the UK, the tuition fees
and accommodation is cheaper and that makes Canada one of the most sought out
locations in the world by students.
• Apply for Study Visa
Although a study the permit is not necessary for short-term courses of six months or less in Canada,
a student must have a study visa for a course lasting more than six months.
This visa recognizes the students’ study program, their legal presence in the
country, information about the university enrolled in, etc. One can apply for a
temporary residence permit depending on their nationality along with a study
visa.
However, the following
are mandatory for all students:
• The acceptance
letter/ approval from the Canadian educational institution or university
• Must satisfy specified
health requirements
• Must enclose details
of tuition fees, living expenses, travel insurance, and monetary support to
return to their home country, to demonstrate your eligibility to study abroad
• Availability of scholarships
Canadian Universities
recognize scholarship programs from many countries, which can help students
reduce their tuition fees, and also provides other financial facilities. This
often comes as a boon to many financially underprivileged students as they can
afford to go abroad to study and experience the culture as well as living
options.
• Accommodations are cheaper
Depending upon
the location you choose, cheap accommodations are available for students. A
maximum of 800 CAD per month approximately, is sufficient for staying within
the city; if a student chooses a dormitory, then the cost reduces further. The
same facilities cost approximately around $1200-1500 in the US. This makes it
easy for students to choose their living situation according to their budget in
Canada.
• Working while studying is acceptable in Canada
Students who wish to
work along with their studies can opt for 20 hours of paid prospects in Canada.
The job does require a student visa/ study permit to qualify for such an
endeavor. Apart from the study permit, the student also has to adhere to the
study program rules, which can dictate the amount of time you can work for a
week. For instance, certain study-intensive courses make only allow a student
to work for 10 hours instead of the standard 20 hours as the course may require
many hours of schoolwork from the student. This rule of a curriculum (as
mentioned by the study program for each instance) also applies to students
participating in grant studies or university work that provides them a stipend.
• Know the two official languages of Canada
Canada has two
official languages – French and English. Although most people speak English,
knowing a bit of French would be convenient. This depends on your area of
residence; for instance, the people in Quebec province use French as their
primary language compared to parts of Canada. It is not mandatory to know
French but a basic understanding proves beneficial.
• Weather
Canada predominantly
is a country with cold weather. Information about your regional accommodation
must include the weather conditions to enable a student to prepare for the cold
situation and health conditions that may aggravate during the cold weather.
Apart from this, a student is also expected to know about the local weather
conditions in case of snow and other natural aspects to plan transportation in
the winter months. Commuting can be a bit tiresome due to delay in transport
during rough weather and the student must be prepared alternatively in such
scenarios for reaching their college/school in time.
• Culture
Canada is a
progressive country, modern in its outlook and founded on strong values. They
openly welcome foreign students and also provide better job opportunities along
with a good standard of living. This multiculturalism provides a sense of
acceptance for expiates and foreign students as the bonding becomes easier with
such a secular approach.
