Reasons to Study in Canada

Reasons to Study in Canada

Studying at a university is an experience of a lifetime because it not only prepares you for the world beyond the classroom, but it also helps you evolve as an individual. Education in India may or may not give you the chance to learn and grow with an international crowd, but Canada attracts students from around the globe all year round. Canada has been recognized as an education superpower. It offers a sound education system, a friendly student environment, and an immigration system that is open to everyone. One of the greatest aspects of studying abroad in Canada is that there is an option for students of all ages, whether you are in high school or in pursuit of a graduate degree. If you are looking to study in a student-friendly place with great academic options and highly ranked universities, then you should consider studying in Canada: the Great White North. Here are just a few ways that a Canadian study abroad program can benefit you.

Safe and Friendly Environment:-

There is a saying that Canadians are some of the friendliest people in the world, and you will probably find this to be quite true. Canadians are very welcoming.  The country itself is quite safe, and there is a relatively high standard of living. In fact, Canada is listed among the 10 safest countries in the world. The country is also rich in diversity. Canada has two primary languages: English and French. You can expect to see signs and information in both languages wherever you go. However, you will also come across people from all around the world and many different languages are regularly spoken in all parts of the country. You will be able to experience well-preserved Canadian culture, but do not be surprised to come across cuisine or other aspects of your home country on occasion.

Lively Cities:-

Canada is blessed with natural beauty, much of which still remains untouched. This is where the country gets its nickname: the Great White North.  Much of Canada is actually a vast wilderness and an exciting playground for those who love the outdoors. You can hike, climb mountains, ski, or even visit a beach on the west or east coasts. Although the far north can get quite chilly, the southern provinces experience milder weather that many find quite pleasant. If you would rather mingle with the people, then you will probably enjoy the nightlife the big cities of Canada afford college students. The campuses alone provide plenty of activities, sports, and clubs for students to participate in. Additionally, you can experience the many different cuisines, music, and leisure activities the cities offer.

Cultural diversity:-

In Canada, you’ll find extremely warm and welcoming people who come from varied ethnic groups with different cultures and lifestyles. The multicultural environment in Canada promotes friendliness and peaceful living like no other country. In fact, you will find a lot of Indians studying, working, and living here. You can also experience festivals and rituals such as:

Enjoy the sounds of the Montreal International Jazz Festival: A must for music lovers, this world-renowned event brings together over 3,000 artists from some 30 countries every year. More than 2 million festivalgoers flood the city’s streets for the 1,000 concerts on offer!

Don a pair of cowboy boots for the Calgary Stampede: The Calgary Stampede is one of the largest outdoor rodeos in the world and attracts over 1 million visitors every year. In the space of just a few weeks, the city becomes one big party, with its residents dressed as cowboys, its buildings and storefronts decorated with a western flair, and barbecue and pancake breakfasts served everywhere.

Take in a hockey match: Hockey is to Canada what soccer is to Europe. It’s more than a national sport; it’s practically a religion! Canada has seven national hockey teams (Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, and Ottawa). To truly experience the frenzy over hockey, you need to watch a match during the playoffs, which generally take place around May.

Indulge in some poutine: This perfect blend of French fries, gravy, and cheese curds is a treat enjoyed by locals and tourists alike, at any time of day or night. Several Canadian cities even hold an annual Poutine Week!

Visit a sugar shack: Mid-march to mid-April is the sugaring-off season in Quebec when sap (also called maple water) is harvested to make maple syrup. To sample all sorts of treats made with this wonderful product, nothing beats a visit to a sugar shack, a festive place to eat, dance, and put on a few pounds!

Excellence academic:-

One of the most important reasons why students choose to study in Canada is because of the high quality of education. When a student receives a degree from a Canadian university, it acts as a mark of trust and excellence. 26 of Canada's universities rank in the QS World University Rankings 2019 and 27 of them in the World University Rankings 2019.

Earn while you learn:-

Thanks to its special regulations, Canada provides all its international students with an opportunity to work for up to 20 hours every week during their semesters and full-time during the summer and winter breaks. To work on-campus or as an intern in any company, you would not require any additional work permit as your study permit is enough to help you find a part-time job.

The country’s natural beauty:-

Canada is an extremely vast country: Its surface area is 14 times larger than that of France. It offers a multitude of magnificent landscapes that can be explored throughout the country’s four distinct seasons. Many Canadians complain about the country’s harsh winters, but the cold season provides an opportunity for dedicated skiers and ice skaters to practice their sport in majestic surroundings. Here are just some of the most scenic places to visit: the pristine beaches of Prince Edward Island, the impressive fjords of the Saguenay and the Percé Rock of the Gaspé in Quebec, the fascinating Rockies and Lake Louise in Alberta, Niagara Falls in Ontario, Jasper National Park also in Alberta and Whistler Mountain in British Columbia. From the sea to its mountains, prairies, and forests, Canada is an endless source of natural beauty!

For international students, very few places offer the advantages that Canada does. Its universities, among the best in the world, are at the heart of its rich and diverse culture. Canada is a country with an excellent standard of living and where there are many opportunities to get some experience in your field of studies. As a bilingual, safe, and welcoming place, Canada won’t disappoint students who are looking to broaden their horizons…

Immigration opportunities:-

Canada’s Post-Graduation Work Permit Program (PWPP) allows students to stay and work in Canada for up to three years after completion of their graduation. You can gain some international work experience and apply for permanent residency later on.

Economic opportunities:-

Canada is one of the largest economies in the world, so there are a lot of working opportunities for graduates. As a student, you have the opportunity to network with leaders in your field. While you study, or after you graduate, you can gain experience working for industry-leading companies in Canada.

If you choose to return to your home country, your Canadian education, and improved language ability in either English or French, could help open doors to work in international companies. Canadian work experience and education are highly valued everywhere in the world, so they could also increase your chances of receiving a job offer from employers all over the world.

If you choose to stay in Canada, Canadian employers tend to prefer Canadian work experience overwork experience from elsewhere in the world, so your student and work experience could increase your chances of receiving a job offer!
