CANADA

Canada is renowned for its natural beauty. Very few countries have anything like beautiful lakes, forests, and mountains. The country is recognized as having an official bilingual status that allows English and French to be used in the same way in documents for government and other official purposes. However, it's also famous for its comparatively small number of residents (despite being the second largest country), and it has extremely cold winters. In certain parts of Canada, there is snow on the ground for nearly half of the year, but it's unlikely to find Canadian institutions in these areas.

Education is a province-wide responsibility in the Canadian constitution. This means that there are many differences in the education systems in the various provinces. This is why educational institutions aren't officially evaluated in Canada. However, you can have quality institutions throughout the nation.

  • Safety & Culture: Known for safety, political stability, and a welcoming, diverse, multicultural environment.
  • Cost of Living: While tuition is more affordable than in the US/UK, major cities have higher living expenses.

As an international student, you can work around 20 hours per week part-time in Canada if you have a valid work permit. Otherwise, international students may only work on campus. In addition, a student can work full-time (40 hours/week) during summer break. To work, students should have a co-op work permit and a study permit. After graduation, the student can apply for Post-Graduate Work Permit (PGWP) to continue living in Canada. A PGWP allows students to stay back and work in the country for up to 2-3 years.

  • Job Opportunities (During Study): International students with study permits can work up to 20 hours/week during sessions and full-time during breaks. Common roles include retail, hospitality, warehousing, and on-campus roles.
  • Job Opportunities (After Study): The PGWP program allows working for up to three years, with high demand in IT, Data Science, AI, and Engineering. 

Canada offers a wide range of full and partial scholarships for international students. Scholarship values range from $1,000 to $40,000 for students from different fields of study. Government/Private Scholarships:

  • Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarships: $50,000 per year for PhD students.
  • Banting Postdoctoral Fellowships: $70,000 annually.
  • Ontario Trillium Scholarship: $40,000/year for Ontario PhD students.
  • MPOWER Financing: Loans up to US$100,000 without a cosigner for postgraduates.
