Why Study in Canada?
- Top Rating by United Nations: Canada has consistently been rated by the United Nations as one of the top places to live in the world, based upon various factors such as standard of living, environment, and job opportunities.
- Clean Environment: Canada is the 2nd largest country in the world, with a population of only 32 million. As such, much of its land is unspoiled by industrial development, and it has some of the cleanest and purest air, water, and natural resources in the world.
- Excellent Health Care: Canada has one of the best health care systems in the world, and it is accessible, free of charge, to Canadians of all social classes, educational levels and income brackets.
- Excellent education system: Public education is free until Grade 12, and university tuition for permanent residents is usually 1/3 to 1/5 the foreign student fees. Unlike other countries, where private schools are the only way to ensure that a child gets a good education, Canada's public school system provides excellent elementary and secondary school education. Graduates from secondary school are eligible to apply to the best universities in the USA as well as Canada.
- Established immigrant communities: Canada's foreign communities have been established for over 100 years and they add an important ingredient to Canada's social fabric.
- Racial harmony and equal opportunities: Canada is a plural, inclusive and multicultural society, built up over the past 130 years by immigrants from all over the world. Immigrants have played a big part in this, and as a result, there are equal opportunities in education, business, investments, and even politics.
- Safe neighbourhoods: In general, Canada has safe neighbourhoods where people can feel safe to walk alone at night, and it is considered to be much safer than other countries.
- Close to the USA: 80% of Canadians live within 3 hours of the American border, and as a result, Canada has extremely social, political, economic and cultural ties to the US. Canadian and American citizens alike enjoy unfettered travel privileges between each respective country, and under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), Canadian citizens have access to the US for careers as well as business.
- The best choice for a child's future: Because of all of the above, Canada offers unique and unlimited opportunities for a bright and successful future.
