🏫 Quality of education
Canada is well known for its quality of education. Top class universities, high tech research that supports theory with real life case studies, teaching pedagogy that aims to prepare students for corporate life and world renowned professors for every course is how Canadian education system can be briefly described as. The curriculum is designed keeping the student diversity in mind and hence is full of relevant and relatable concepts and applications from around the world. Not only does it broaden one’s horizon but also expands the innovation streak since students get exposed to a multitude of aspects related to similar problems based on who is looking at the problem and from which angle.
💰 Rich cultural diversity
Canada is a country that is home to a multilingual community. People from different parts of the world have chosen to settle down in Canada. The reasons are plenty. Most favored among them are a thriving economy, vibrant employment opportunities, stable government, secured country to live in, focus on providing quality of life to everyone, well maintained city systems. Thus it results in thousands of people choosing Canadian permanent residency plan every year. As a consequence, over time, Canada has been able to become a rich and diverse cultural experience that presents uniqueness and alignment together in one frame. This richness is reflected in their mannerisms, art, food, acceptance of multiple languages in formal occasions (both English and French) and their warmth towards people who come and study in their country. Canada as a country is quite open to welcoming international students who can come to study in Canada and after completion, may also look for work opportunities.
⚙️ Job opportunities
When the education system of a country promises to produce quality talent, then there is no dearth of job opportunities. Canada is home to a thriving economy with long term career opportunities available in financial sector, IT, hospitality, fast food restaurants, pharmaceuticals to name a few. Not just this, students are also encouraged to work after the course completion and also during the course (for 20 hours per week). The top quality education also ensures that these students have ample amount of work opportunities in India as well as other countries in the world. Canadian education system is among the best in the world and a degree from any of the universities in Canada opens the door for immense growth across various sectors in every part of the world.
💲 Work while you earn
This is an option that is available to students in Canada right from the first day of the program. Irrespective of the course you enroll for, you will be allowed to work for 20 hours on or off campus and the best part of this is that you don’t even need a work permit for this. You can start off right from your first year. This remains a concern for some students who look for part time work opportunities while studying to meet their financial expenses and reduce the burden back home. It also helps to get an exposure of the Canadian work environment and culture. While some countries are very strict about allowing students to work only after their first year is over, Canada is quite okay with letting its students work whenever and wherever they want as long as it up to 20 hours per week.
✌️ Positive and welcoming Nature of Canadians
Going to a different country for studies carries with it, a level of uncertainty since one does not know the culture fully and is not sure if the population there would be welcoming enough. This is certainly not a problem in Canada. Its diverse ethnicity lives in communal harmony and is very tolerant of international students. This comes as a big relief to students aspiring to study in Canada since a warm and welcoming environment encourages them to settle down in Canada faster and this creates a sense of belonging in them. Though you stay far from home but the mini student communities in universities become your home away from home with who you end up sharing a bond that is above racism, language and ethnicity. It is purely based on common goals, interests and a desire to excel in their careers.
🧠 Very progressive mindset
Canadians are known for their progressive mindset not only in scientific and technological progress but also on socially relevant topics. Being governed by a young and broad minded Prime Minister has its own perks and no one knows it better than Canadians. Be it an intense focus on inclusivity, their opinions and acceptance of highly sensitive social issues and a culture that embraces diversity with open arms, it is an ideal place for students to broaden their understanding of world issues and how to think above caste, creed and colour.
↘️ Low crime rates
Canada is one of the most secured countries in the world to live in. The reason why this is also a benefit is because of the parental concerns of students going to study abroad. Many times, parents abandon their kid’s dreams of an overseas education when they hear stories of excessive crime in other countries, thus fearing the worst. Canada is an exception in this. Thanks to the co-ordinated and well-intentioned efforts of the government, private sector and residents, crime rate is very low as compared to other developed countries in the world. Corruption is a cultural taboo and honesty and integrity is publicly celebrated. Who wouldn’t want to study and stay in a country wherein the entire culture revolves around promotion of good habits and co-operative living. Despite the diversity that Canada has in its population, such an integrated approach comes as a pleasant surprise but such a success story can only be explained through the logic of community well-being over self-interests.
🏙️ Citizenship
Canada gives more priority to students who have studied in Canada and then applied for Permanent Residency than those who have never stayed in Canada for any purpose. Their logic is simple. To get a PR of any country (though specifications may vary), the main thing is the fact that one has stayed for some time in that country, displayed good conduct and has been involved in development of the country in any form. When students study in Canada, they do so for a considerable amount of time which is good enough to showcase their conduct and hence if all of that is good, getting a PR after completion of studies is easy. Hence, if you are looking to become a permanent resident of Canada after completion of your higher studies, then you may use the opportunity of your stay in Canada to your maximum benefit by putting up a great conduct, participating in various social welfare events and collaborations and (if you choose to work while you learn) develop a rapport with your employer who then becomes eager enough to sponsor your permanent residency.
🌐 Bilingual community
The official languages in Canada are English and French. So, any student who is interested in learning a foreign language may opt for this country for their overseas education. While learning a foreign language does not require one to leave his home country, but often we notice that if someone has learnt a foreign language using some course, he (she) lacks the fluency which is required to use a language confidently. The reason this happens is because such learners lack an environment to use and improve their fluency. Often, language experts recommend that one of the most effective ways of mastering a language is by being in the company of native speakers and that is exactly what a student gets who studies in Canada. A readily available environment of native French speakers to learn from and practice with. We all are aware of the importance of having a foreign language certificate in our resumes. It broadens our scope of international job opportunities in multiples. Hence, if you want all of this to become a reality for you, then you should consider studying in Canada.
