Canada is one of the most popular and preferred countries to study in for students all across the world. Providing high-quality education at affordable tuition fees and degrees that are globally recognized, Canada hosts nearly half a million international students each year.
With exciting post-study and immigration opportunities as well as excellent quality of living, Canada is widely popular among Sri Lankan student candidates. Canada is also the most educated country in the world with more than half of its population having been graduated.
The high quality of education in Canada invites many students into the country. Degrees and certifications obtained from Canadian universities and colleges are evidence of academic excellence. The Quacquarelli Symonds ranking system or QS ranking system included 26 Canadian universities in 2019. 27 of them also belonged in The World University Rankings of 2019. Studying in Canada, a country with high standards of education, elevate your knowledge and value when you graduate.
The people of Canada are welcoming and pleasant. Their way of living and culture is very different from Sri Lanka. The country is not only home to its natives but also home to students and professionals from all over the world. The multicultural environment lets you interact with many and understand their ways of thinking. They are strong advocates of peace and friendliness. You will come across many Sri Lankans living there and can also experience the joy of their festivals and rituals.
Not all countries let you work part-time or full-time while studying if you are an international student. As a student with a student permit, you will only be eligible to study in the country. Thankfully, Canada has a set of special regulations that allow students to work during the study period. International students can work part-time for up to 20 hours every week and can work full-time during summer and winter breaks. You will not require any additional work permit.
Canada stands out among all other countries in terms of education because the country’s Government strongly encourages and supports research and development. If you are applying to be a research scholar, your first preference of destination must be Canada. They promote research in fields of medicine, telecommunication, agricultural, environment and technology.
Compared to countries like the US and UK, the tuition fee of courses in Canada is more affordable. With their employment opportunities and immigration policies, the return on your investments is fair. Studying in Canada is an accessible opportunity for Sri Lankans. The extent of scholarships available in the country also brings down your study expenses.
According to the Global Peace Index, Canada was ranked the 6th most peaceful country in the world. The country is also one of the safest destinations in the world with low crime rates and the high importance of personal safety. As a student from Sri Lanka, you will enjoy all the benefits as any Canadian does.
Canadian universities and colleges are vibrant the whole year round with many clubs, events, fest and activities going on. This exposes you to bigger social circles and lets you meet new people and develop networks. With so much to keep you occupied, your homesickness will break away.
You can continue to stay in Canada for up to 3 years after your time of graduation with the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP). Post the time allotted in PWPP, you can go on to apply for permanent residency and obtain extensive international work experience.
