Benefits of Studying in Canada

Here are benefits of studying in Canada:   High-Quality Education at an Affordable Cost:

Canadian degrees, certificates, and diplomas are considered internationally equal to equivalent degrees in the U.S. and other Commonwealth countries.

Canadians are serious about education, and their universities demonstrate that commitment with beautiful ultra-modern campuses.

The variety of degree programs in Canada is vast, with everything from humanities to technology and health, with some very specialized environmental programs available only in the Great White North. In addition, English Language Schools and French Language Schools abound and offer a variety of side activities from skiing to camping.While the quality of education rivals the U.S. and the U.K., the costs of tuition and living are significantly lower.

Work while you study:

Students in Canada have the advantage of being able to work while studying. Among other benefits, this allows them to manage their finances without incurring enormous debt. To gain the right to work off-campus, students must:

* Have a valid study permit;
* Be a full-time student;
* Be enrolled at a designated learning institution at the post-secondary level or, in Quebec, a vocational program at the secondary level.

* Be studying in an academic, vocational or professional training program that leads to a degree, diploma or certificate that is at least six months in duration.

If a candidate qualifies, his or her study permit will allow him or her to:

* work up to 20 hours per week during regular academic sessions; and
* work full-time during scheduled breaks, such as the winter and summer holidays or spring break.

A Safe Community:

Canada is a friendly, safe country with a high standard of living. Low crime rates, great student health benefits, and universities focused on student security and health make studying in Canada a good choice for anyone who’s uneasy about personal safety while abroad. The Global Peace Index ranks Canada among its top 10 safest countries in the world to visit.


A pathway to Canadian permanent residence:

Skilled Canadian work experience gained through the Post-Graduate Work Permit Program helps graduates to qualify for permanent residence in Canada through the Canadian Experience Class (CEC).
Moreover, certain provinces, such as British Columbia and Quebec, have immigration streams that identify certain graduates for permanent residence.

Candidates for British Columbia’s International Post-Graduate category have the advantage of not requiring a job offer and being able to have their application for permanent residence processed through the federal Express Entry immigration selection system.
