Study in Canada - Education in Canada for International Students

When you choose to study in Canada as an international student, you’re making the right choice for your future. Canada is recognised worldwide for its high academic standards – from elementary to secondary, colleges, universities and beyond.

It’s not surprising that so many international students choose Canada for their university studies.  According to QS rankings, Canada is home to 11 of the top 250 universities in the world.  Its higher learning institutions range from small universities with intimate learning environments to large research-intensive universities with world-class reputations.

What’s more, the teaching faculties bring a global perspective to the classroom, with 40% have at least one international degree.  Graduates are recognised for their critical thinking, research as well as leadership skills across a wide range of programs.

  1. Canada has exceptional quality and choice: 96 public universities offer 15,000 study programs
  2. University studies from Canada are affordable, average tuition costs for an undergraduate degree are around CAD25,500
  3. Canada has 3 of the top 20 best student cities in the world: Montreal, Vancouver and Toronto according to QS Rankings 2019

Entry Requirements for Canada

Each university in Canada has its own requirements for admission and transferring credits from other institutions. To learn about admission requirements for the program you want to pursue, you may use our Check Your Eligibility tool, which will help us assess your eligibility to study abroad in Canada.  Then we will commence the process by seeking further documents to determine your best matches options.

To study at a Canadian university, you must provide proof of your English or French language capabilities, depending on the language you choose for your studies.

Visa Requirements

The study permit is a document issued by the Government of Canada that allows foreign nationals to study at designated learning institutions (DLI) in Canada.  Most foreign nationals need a study permit to study in Canada.  We help you compile all the documents you need to apply, and prepare a strong case before submitting the application.

Your study permit is not a visa.  It doesn’t let you enter Canada.  You may also need a visitor visa or an electronic travel authorization (eTA).  If you are approved for your study permit, you’ll be issued with a visa alongwith your study permit.

Our counsellors are ready to guide you through all the above requirements, to make the process easier and less stressful, and maximise your chance of success in meeting the entry requirements.
