Canada is the largest country in North America. Canada is the number one choice for immigrants. After completing higher studies here, the ultimate goal is to obtain a PR (Permanent Residency) and stay there. The main attraction is the excellent living conditions and social atmosphere. Therefore, those who have obtained PR and want to settle in a foreign country are more likely to choose Canada for higher studies. Learn how to pursue higher education, employment, and permanent residency in Canada.
The first stage of the course selection
There are a number of government community colleges in Canada that are similar to universities. Most people who come to Canada from other countries prefer to take courses offered by such government community colleges. This is because the process of getting admission in the universities here is very complicated.
It is difficult to get PG admission if the degree is qualified for a period of three years. Canadian universities offer four-year degree courses. Those with these qualifications will have no difficulty in getting admission. For this reason, instead of taking admission to PG courses in Canada, the focus is on studying PG Diploma courses.
Ear Gap Problem
This will be the first time that you will be looking at how many years you are pursuing higher education in Canada after completing your previous course. Attempting to pursue higher studies in Canada after many years of completing a degree or PG can be frustrating. This is because the assessment is that those with more ear gaps are migrating to the country with the aim of earning a living rather than studying. With a year gap of more than five years, it is usually difficult to get admission in Canada.
That is why Canada does not encourage such people. Moreover, most of those who get admission will find jobs there after completing their studies and get PR. Therefore, only those who pay attention to the study are considered. Canada welcomes those who excel academically and professionally. Most of them are allowed to stay in the country even after completing their studies and are given the opportunity to pursue higher studies only after scrutiny. Age is also a big factor.
Academic quality is important
Academic standards must be ensured before approaching Canadian institutions for higher studies. Only those who have obtained high percentage marks in each of the courses completed from SSLC will be considered. Therefore, self-assessment is essential before dreaming of Canada.
IELTS is mandatory
IELTS is mandatory for admission to higher studies in Canada. The IELTS score required by each university will be different. It also depends on the course you choose. It is difficult to get admission without a score of at least 6.5. Once the agreement for granting admission is reached, the institution selected for the study will issue an offer letter. Many will receive a conditional offer letter. Those who do not qualify for IELTS will be required to obtain IELTS within a specified period. It also deals with the payment of course fees.
PR Assurance
Compared to the UK, Canada is more likely to get a permanent residency (PR). This is because there is a great demand in Canada for those who excel academically. Therefore, if you take the best course and keep the standard of education high, you are more likely to get PR very quickly. That is why Canada has always been the preferred destination for overseas residency. In the past, it was mandatory to have work experience in Canada or any other foreign country to obtain a PR in Canada. But if you are currently employed by any institution in Canada you can apply for PR. This is the reason for the huge increase in the demand of those who want PR.
However, the conditions for admission are higher. Canada is very strict in this regard, while other countries have a relatively low level of higher education. Moreover, those who dream of Canada will have to wait a long time because the steps for migration are complicated. But those who continue to do well after getting admission will definitely get PR. Only those who fail to provide the documents required to obtain a PR will be required to return home after completing their studies in Canada.
When preparing for the study
If you want to study in Canada, you must first make an effort to choose a suitable course and university. You also need to make sure that you have the qualifications required by the institution offering the course. For this you can check the websites of the respective institutions. Then all the required documents should be submitted at the time of application. The application should be accompanied by a detailed statement of purpose explaining why you chose the particular course and institution.
Interview to measure quality
After accepting the application for higher studies, you should attend a detailed interview to check your eligibility. In addition to your educational qualifications, this interview is to measure your English language proficiency, confidence and responsiveness. This interview will also ask questions about whether learning is the main goal.
Offer letter
After evaluating you through the interview, the institution will give you an offer letter for admission if you are satisfied with your qualifications. It can be conditional or unconditional. The conditional offer letter will include a specific score for IELTS within a specified period and payment of a portion of the course fee. In case of students awaiting graduation result, the offer letter also mentions the time for them to submit the document proving a certain percentage of marks. Care should be taken to do things accordingly.
Visa is a big hurdle
The visa process for Canada is tougher than the student visa process for other countries. Elsewhere, it is not difficult to get a visa if you are admitted to an educational institution in the country. However, in order to obtain a visa to Canada, admission alone is not enough, and the authorities must be convinced that study is the main goal.
Average cost
In order to calculate the cost of study and the cost of living, one has to consider the institution, course and lifestyle chosen for the study. The cost of living for a year is around Rs 6 lakh to Rs 8 lakh. It may decrease or increase depending on the lifestyle changes. Courses cost an average of Rs 8 lakh to Rs 11 lakh per annum.
Accommodation is important
Canada is a very sparsely populated country. Therefore, employment opportunities and employment opportunities are relatively low. If people and institutions live in sparsely populated areas, it can be difficult to find a part-time job to cover the cost of living along with study. It is better to stay in places where there is a good job potential even during the stay back period after study.
If the merit is high, you can apply through SDS
Student Direct Stream (SDS) is Canada's special migration route for high quality students. The advantage of this is that you do not have to wait long for the visa process. However, this opportunity is only for those with the best academic excellence. Such people can get a visa very quickly. But before that you need to open a bank account in Canada and deposit the course fee and living expenses in that account.
