REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD STUDY IN CANADA
Academic excellence
Top on the list of reasons why you should choose to study in Canada is because of the country’s high standard of education.
When you receive a degree from any Canadian university, it serves as a mark of trust and excellence, this is because 26 of Canada’s universities rank in the QS World University Rankings in 2019 and 27 of them in the World University Rankings 2019.
Affordability of Tuition and Living expenses
Canadian schools’ tuition fees are fairly cheaper especially when compared to universities in other countries such as the US and UK.
Also, when you think of the return on investment, such as earning while learning opportunities, stay after graduation opportunities, etc, it is quite a viable option for all international students.
The icing on the cake is that you can also apply to a number of scholarships to help with your educational and even living expenses as you need all the financial aid that you can get, especially if you’re self-funded.
Peace and Safety is Guaranteed
Consistently ranked as one of the world’s safest nations to live in, Canada should be in the options of countries you’re considering to study in.
Canada, as at 2018, was listed in the Global Peace Index, as the sixth peaceful country all over the globe. And as an international student, you’ll enjoy the same rights as every other Canadian.
Earning-while-Learning Opportunities
Due to its special regulations, Canada gives all its international students an opportunity to work for up to 20 hours weekly during their semesters and full-time during the winter and summer breaks.
You can even work on campus or as an intern in a company without any extra work permit because your study permit is sufficient to help you find a part time job.
Stay-after-Study (Immigration) Opportunities
With Canada’s Post-Graduation Work Permit Program (PWPP), you can stay and work in Canada for at least three years after the completion of your academic program.
This is how you can gain some international work experience and proceed to apply for the permanent residency later.
Other reasons why you should study in Canada include;
Lively and vibrant life on campus brought about by fests, events, and other activities conducted all year long.
Cultural diversity which affords you the opportunity to meet warm and welcoming people from different ethnic groups with their different cultures and lifestyle, which in fact, allows for friendliness and peaceful coexistence like nowhere else.
Various/sufficient research opportunities for research scholars as the Canadian government offers a great deal of support for research in fields such as medicine, technology, telecommunication, environmental science and agriculture.
