Canada invites international students

Canada invites 150000 international students every year to study in Canada and also gives opportunity to work and settle. Following are the reasons why a student should prefer Canada:

§  The United Nations ranked Canada as one of the best places in the world to live. This assessment was based upon Canada's achievements in terms of educational attainment, life expectancy, national income and general quality of life. It also included Canada's abundance of fresh water, comfortable population density, low incidence of violent crime and a health care system that is a model for the world. §    §  Canada's tuition fees is lowest, average CAD $11,000 to 12,000 per annum §    §  Almost 80% of college and University in Canada is Government / Public Funded §    §  SPP, Student Partnership Program, is a new concept, which give opportunity to study with 3 years of Work Permit and Can file for PR (Permanent Resident) §    §  Canada's Human Development Index is Ranked 4th among 182 countries §    §  Canada is one of the world's wealthiest nations, with a high per-capita income, and it is a member of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the G8 §  Canada has the highest per-capita immigration rate in the world, driven by economic policy and family reunification, and is aiming for between 240,000 and 265,000 new permanent residents in 2010. §    §  High Chances of getting Permanent Residency Visa through various programs. §    §  Internationally recognized degrees. Canada boasts a wide range of quality educational institutions for both degrees and diplomas in technical and professional disciplines. §    §  A safe, stable country. Canada is a peaceful, politically stable and safe country. We have laws that protect the rights of our citizens and our country is relatively unaffected by natural disasters. §  Excellent health care. Compared to other countries, medical insurance is inexpensive in Canada yet the services that Canadian hospitals provide are among some of the most advanced and accessible in the world. §    §  A multicultural country. Canada is home to a large number of aboriginal people, called first nations. Over the past century and a half, Canada has welcomed 15 million immigrants. Canada has a national policy for and works to ensure that people's customs and traditions are preserved and respected. §    §  Nature and four distinct seasons. While Canada has big cities, we also preserve a huge amount of unsettled land and a thriving national and provincial parks system. The temperature varies a great deal in Canada. Certain cities almost never have snow in the winter while other cities may get a lot. There's something for everyone, including indoor and outdoor recreational activities at no or low cost. Our four distinct seasons offer variety and their own special pleasures. §    §  Permanent Residency. Work Permit up to 3 years and chances of getting Permanent Residency after Post Graduation. §    §  Industry Certification. Ready for Industry Professional Diploma leading to certification or Licensing. §    §  We're waiting for you. Canadians can be reserved with newcomers but are generally very welcoming and respectful of differences. Our educational institutions encourage new students from abroad and many have targets to increase their numbers of international students. One thing is for sure-your time in Canada will be something that you will never forget.

Studying and Living in Canada

Studying and Living in Canada – For all that Canada has to offer, the cost of living in Canada is comparatively low, lower than in many developed countries. Cost of living in Canada:  The cost of living in Canada is moderate, compared with other countries. Some prices of typical goods and services are as follows: One month's lodging, one-bedroom apartment: $400 Bus fare, one way: $1.50 Local telephone call: $0.25 Modest restaurant meal: lunch $7/dinner $14 Movie: $7 Canadian winters are chilly, an adequate warm clothing budget is essential. Budget around $250 - $350 US for proper winter wardrobe. You will need approximately $11,000 Canadian dollars to cover your expenses for an academic year. This is inclusive of your tuition and living expenses but exclusive of your air-fare. Please remember that this figure is an average only. Actual expenses may vary depending on the region of the country you live in, the tuition fees at the university you attend and your field of specialization.  Employment opportunities Employment opportunities for international students are limited. You should not plan on earning substantial money from a part-time job to help pay for your studies. On campus: Though international students are allowed to work on the campus of any publicly-funded, degree granting institution, these jobs are often difficult to obtain and do not provide sufficient funds to sustain education costs. Practical Training: In addition, there may be opportunities for practical training which entail a period of authorized employment, designed to allow foreign students to have professional work experience related to their field of study. Accommodation Each institute has its own policy for housing and may offer a range of options for single and married students. Most common types of accommodations are: School-Provided Home stays: A home stay usually consists of a Canadian family hosting a student in their home while the student attends classes in Canada. This includes meals as well as a private, furnished room. (Cost: CDN $ 400 - $ 800 per month) School-Provided Residence/Dormitory: Many schools have accommodation conveniently located on or near their campuses. There is usually an option of either shared or private room or dormitories. (Cost: CDN $ 3000 - $ 7500 per year)Off Campus Housing: Usually many students share or rent apartments to save costs. Listings of available apartments or homes are published weekly in local newspapers. Rents vary greatly according to the location and time of year. (Cost: CDN $ 250 - $ 700 per month)

Health Insurance  This is another very important criterion to take care of while doing financial planning. Most Canadian Institutes require that all students including international students be covered by an insurance policy that will protect them against medical, hospital bills if they get sick or are injured while studying at the college, as health care is very expensive. Some provinces like Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan cover international students under their provincial health care plans. Students studying in other provinces must arrange for private medical coverage through private insurance companies, which approximately costs about CDN $ 35 per month. Cultural events  Another advantage that Canadians enjoy is a large immigrant population (in fact, everyone in Canada, except aboriginal Canadians is an immigrant or descended from immigrants). Besides the mixture of British, American and French cultures, Canada has large Chinese, East Indian, Korean, Italian, African and Middle Eastern populations. Canadians of all kinds gather to help celebrate and take part in events that highlight Canada’s multicultural society. Participation in these events can be a nice opportunity to socialize with the local population. Commuting and Public Transit One can drive, carpool or bike, walk or take public transportation. Generally, public transit is run by the municipality, city, or town. In larger cities with a lot of commuters, there may also be provincially-run transit such as the GO trains and buses in the Toronto area. In most towns and cities, public transit means buses. Some cities also operate ferries, streetcars, and/or a metro, subway (underground) or elevated train system.

About CANADA

Introduction : Location : Canada is closest neighbor of USA Area : 9,984,670 square kilometers Population : 32,805,04s Main Cities : Ottawa, Toronto, Calgary ,Halifax, Montreal Industries : Telecommunications/Biotechnology/Farming/Mining The combination of Canada's natural environment and its reputation for high-quality education are just a few of the things that have made Canada an ideal destination and attracted tens of thousands of foreign students to Canada every year. Because of higher standard of living in Canada, in the last decade, Canada has repeatedly been chosen by UN as one of the best places to live in the world. The reasons listed included: high education enrollment levels; high-quality, low cost education; universal healthcare system; an uncompromising respect for fundamental rights and human dignity; clean and safe cities; and cosmopolitan, multi-cultural ethnic cities with many recreational amenities. Part of the Canadian mainland and most of the islands near the Artic region fall within the Frigid Zone; the remainder of the country lies in the northern half of the North Temperate Zone. As a consequence, general climatic conditions range from the extreme cold characteristic of the Arctic regions to the moderate temperatures of more southerly latitudes. The Canadian climate is thus marked by wide regional variations. Canada's culture bears a multidimensional character with streaks from French, British and American culture deeply embedded into it. Canadians are polite and courteous to a fault; they are levelheaded thinkers and love peace. A Canadian would prefer to discuss matters than argue or fight over the same. The best trait that Canadians are endowed with is their ability to accept, adapt to and assimilate every culture into their own. It is a country of immigrants and that is its culture. In Canada, just about every language in the world is spoken. They have television channels and newspapers devoted to any cultural group that has a large enough market to support them. Canada is a federation with a parliamentary system of government. The powers and responsibilities are divided between the federal government and the 10 provincial governments. These governments are elected by the citizens of Canada. The federal government is responsible fore services such as defense, foreign policy, banking, criminal law, immigration and postal laws. The provincial governments are responsible for providing health, education, transportation services including social assistance. The local municipality in each province is responsible for providing services related to water, fire protection and recreation. The three-tiered government system ensures the availability of all the basic amenities making Canada one of the best places in the world to live in. Canada also has one of the fastest growing economies of the world. In 1998, Canada's gross domestic product (GDP) was an estimated $688.3 billion up from $643 billion in 1997.Canada ranks among the 10 leading manufacturing nations, and has also experienced tremendous growth in the high technology and services industries. Other important manufacturing sectors include food and beverages, paper and allied products, primary metals, fabricated metals, petrochemicals and chemicals.
