Why should you consider to Study in Canada?
Canada offers a unique combination of high-quality education, multicultural environment, and excellent post-study work opportunities with a clear pathway to permanent residency.
Clearest PR Pathway of Any English-Speaking Country
Canada's Express Entry system offers the most transparent immigration pathway. After completing your degree + 1 year of Canadian work experience, most students can apply for permanent residency. Processing time: 6-12 months.
PGWP: Up to 3 Years Post-Study Work
The Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) allows 1-3 years of open work (any employer, any field) based on your program length. Combined with the PR pathway, this makes Canada the top choice for students who want to settle abroad.
Affordable vs USA & UK
Canadian tuition averages CAD 20,000-35,000/year — significantly cheaper than the US ($40,000-80,000) or UK (£25,000-40,000). Cost of living outside Toronto and Vancouver is very reasonable.
Multicultural & Safe
Canada consistently ranks as one of the world's safest and most welcoming countries. With official multiculturalism as a national policy, Indian students report feeling at home quickly.
Co-op Programs & Industry Integration
Canadian universities like Waterloo, SFU, and UBC are famous for their co-op programs — alternating study terms with paid work terms. Waterloo's co-op program places students at 7,000+ employers including Google, Tesla, and Bloomberg.
Growing Indian Student Population
Over 400,000 Indian students study in Canada, making it the second most popular destination after the USA. The Indian diaspora in Canada is 1.8 million strong, providing a robust support network.
