Why Choose Canada?
Affordable Quality Education
While offering exceptional education, Canada is known for its relatively lower tuition fees compared to other English-speaking countries. Coupled with a moderate cost of living, Canada is an economically attractive option for international students.
Career Prospects
Canada values its graduates, offering post-study work permits and pathways to permanent residency. The country offers career prospects, with a growing job market and a demand for skilled professionals. This makes Canada not just a place to study, but a place to build a future.
Bilingual Environment
As a country with English and French as official languages, Canada offers the unique advantage of enhancing your language skills. Many universities offer programmes in both languages, providing a bilingual educational environment that enriches your academic experience.
Safe and Secure Location
Canada is known as one of the safest countries globally, with low crime rates and high standards of community safety. Its reputation for safety and security attracts students from all over the world, providing a peaceful environment where you can focus on your studies and personal growth.
Welcoming Atmosphere
Canada's policies and society are exceptionally welcoming and supportive to international students, offering a range of services and programmes specifically designed to make your transition and stay as smooth, comfortable, and enjoyable as possible.
Rich Indigenous Heritage
Canada's rich Indigenous heritage offers a unique cultural experience. Many institutions incorporate Indigenous knowledge and perspectives into their programmes, providing a deeper understanding of Canada's history and culture, and enhancing your experience.
Navigating the Cost of Living
At Veritas Mundi Education, we recognise the substantial financial commitment associated with studying abroad. Our experienced team is dedicated to working closely with you to provide a clear understanding of the cost of living in Canada, aiding in informed decision-making to manage expenses effectively. Here are key considerations:
Accommodation: Housing costs in Canada can vary widely. Metropolitan areas like Toronto and Vancouver typically have higher rental prices compared to smaller cities and rural areas. Explore options like university accommodation, off-campus shared apartments, or homestays. You might spend anywhere from CAD 500 to CAD 1,500 per month on housing, depending on your choice and location.
Food: Embrace the culinary diversity Canada offers by cooking meals using ingredients from around the world. Budgeting CAD 250 to CAD 400 per month for groceries is sensible. For dining out, remember that cities offer a range of options, but this will be more expensive than cooking at home.
Transport: Canada's public transportation systems are generally reliable, especially in larger cities. If you're a student, you may be eligible for discounted fares. Monthly transit passes can range from CAD 80 to CAD 150, depending on the city and the type of transport.
Health Insurance: Health insurance is mandatory for international students in Canada. While some provinces provide coverage under their health plans, others require private insurance. Costs vary significantly based on coverage but budget approximately CAD 600 to CAD 900 per year.
Entertainment: Canada's entertainment options are as varied as its landscape, from outdoor activities to cultural events. Budget CAD 50 to CAD 120 monthly to enjoy what Canada has to offer, like hiking, skiing, or exploring local arts and music scenes. Student discounts can help lower these costs.
Part-Time Work: Canada's work regulations allow you to work up to 20 hours per week during the academic term and full-time during breaks, helping you cover some expenses and gain experience.
Navigating Student Visa Application
Navigating the student visa application process for Canada can be overwhelming for international students. However, with the right guidance and support, it can become a seamless and stress-free experience. To study at a Canadian university, you will need to apply for a Study Permit. While your Study Permit allows you to stay and study in Canada, you need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) to enter the country. Veritas Mundi Education offers valuable assistance to international students in this regard.
Letter of Acceptance: Before applying for your Study Permit, you must be accepted by a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) in Canada. You will receive a Letter of Acceptance, which is a crucial document for your visa application. The institution must be authorised by the Canadian government to host international students.
Québec Acceptance Certificate (CAQ): For those planning to study in the province of Québec, an additional document known as the Québec Acceptance Certificate (CAQ) is required. The CAQ is your official permission from Québec to study there and must be obtained before applying for a Study Permit. The application involves providing information about your study plans, the institution you will be attending, and proof of funds. It's important to factor in additional time for this process, as you need the CAQ before proceeding with the rest of your visa application.
English of French Proficiency: Depending on your chosen programme and institution, you may need to demonstrate proficiency in English or French. This is typically shown through standardised tests like IELTS, TOEFL, or TEF/DELF. The required scores can vary by programme and institution.
Proof of Financial Support: You need to demonstrate that you have enough funds to cover your tuition fees and living expenses for the duration of your stay and any family member travelling with you to Canada. This may include bank statements, proof of a Canadian bank account in your name, a Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC), proof of a student or education loan, or proof of payment of tuition and housing fees.
Intent to Leave After Studies: Study Permits are only temporary visas, so you need to prove that you intend to go back to your home country after completion of your studies. This means presenting strong evidence of your ties to your home country, which could include family connections or employment prospects.
Health and Character Requirements: The Canadian government takes the health and safety of its communities seriously. As part of this commitment, you may be required to undergo a medical examination. Similarly, police certificates may be requested to confirm that you have a clean criminal record and pose no security threat.
Health Insurance: You must have health insurance coverage for the duration of your stay in Canada. The country's healthcare system is unique in that healthcare is managed at the provincial level, leading to variations in coverage across different regions. Some provinces may extend their healthcare plans to include international students, while others require you to arrange private insurance.
Upon arrival in Canada, adhere to the conditions of your Study Permit, including making progress in your studies and not working more than the allowed hours. Canada recognizes the value of work experience as part of your academic journey, allowing you to work up to 20 hours per week during term time and full-time during scheduled breaks. After graduation, you may be eligible for a Post-Graduation Work Permit, allowing you to gain valuable work experience. With the right preparation and understanding of the process, your academic and personal journey in Canada can start on a solid foundation.
