With one of the longest coastline, vast wilderness, world-class cities and a culture of tolerance and diversity, Canada is a natural destination for thousands of international students. Canadian degrees, certificates and diplomas are considered equal to equivalent degrees in U.S. and other common-wealth nations. Canadians are serious about education and their universities demonstrate that commitment with beautiful ultra- modern campuses. While the quality of education rivals the U.S. and the U.K., the costs of tuition and living expenses are significantly lower. Not only this, Canada is a friendly, safe country with low crime rates and great student benefits. Nonetheless, this nation ensures that people’s customs and traditions are preserved. The value and dignity of all cultures are equally respected.
Tuition Fees in Canada varies from CAD $ 10, 000 to CAD $18,000 per year. The universities and colleges in Canada offer both Diploma and Degree courses.
Living expenses in Canada are CAD $10, 000 per year for an international student. Students are required to purchase a Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) for this amount at one of their partner banks before applying for a student visa from India. Currently there are two partner banks for GIC- Scotia Bank and ICICI Bank. This amount is then given back to the student while studying in Canada in order for them to cater their living expenses while they study. In addition to this, an international student studying in Canada is legally allowed to work for 20 hours during term time and full time during vacations.
