Why study in Canada?

Canada is an increasingly popular choice for international students because of its safety and cultural tolerance. You’ll also receive a high standard of education in Canada in line with other countries such as the UK and US. Standards of living in Canada are high, and it’s a great place for those who love the outdoors and sports.

French and English are the national languages of Canada and have equal importance. Studying in Canada could be a good option to brush up on your English skills, or even learn some French.

What are the requirements to study in Canada?

Qualifications

Specific program requirements will be set by the university and may differ between programs. Often you will need to specify your secondary education system for the university to determine whether or not you meet their qualification standards.

English language tests

Canadian universities often prefer the IELTS academic test as a method of proving your English language abilities. Many universities do also accept a TOEFL iBT score, but always check a program’s specific requirements.

Canada student visa

You’ll need a Canadian study permit if you are an international student in Canada. If your student visa is for a full time undergraduate or postgraduate degree you’ll be able to work part time during term time (up to 20 hours a week), and full time during university holiday periods.

Vancouver is the hub for all people. Many nationalities, different backgrounds, full of shops and nature is amazing. It is not as cold as what they tell you, would not exceed -10 during winter but gets fairly hot during summer.
