Why Canada

Every year 300,000 international students choose Canada as their education destination. Canada is renowned for its natural beauty, multicultural society, and affordable and high-quality education system.

There are many benefits to studying in Canada that international students can enjoy:

Work for up to 20 hours per week while in school, and on a full-time basis during school breaks.
Obtain a Post-Graduation Work Permit for the equivalent duration of the studies once the program is successfully completed, allowing students to remain in Canada after graduation.
Bring an accompanying spouse or common-law partner to Canada on an open full-time work permit, allowing him or her to work for any employer.
Bring accompanying minor children to study in Canada.
Become eligible for Canadian permanent residence.

Beyond these benefits, the Canadian government also gives plenty of other great reasons to study here:

Qualifications valued around the world

Canada’s high academic standards and rigorous quality controls mean that students earn a high-quality education that can open doors for the future. A Canadian degree, diploma or certificate is globally recognized as being equivalent to those obtained from the United States or Commonwealth countries.

Affordable education

The quality of education and living standards in Canada are amongst the highest in the world, and the cost of living and tuition fees for international students are generally lower than in other countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom. Plus, the ability to work while you study also helps make Canada a smart choice.

Multicultural society

With almost all of the world’s ethnic groups represented in Canada, it’s hard not to find ethnic foods and recreation activities associated with specific cultures. In fact, Beeducated helps students get in touch with any number of ethnic clubs and associations for you to join so you can feel at home.

Healthy and safe communities

Canadians have a friendly and open nature, and the United Nations consistently ranks Canada as one of the best places in the world to live. International students enjoy all the same freedoms that protect Canadians – respect for human rights, equality, and a stable and peaceful society.

World-class language education

Did you know that Canada is a bilingual country and is considered a world leader in language training? Since teaching French and English as a first and second language is an integral part of a Canadian education, international students can benefit and improve fluency and capacity for either language to further their studies.

Exciting campus lifestyle

Canada’s post-secondary campuses aren’t only wired with the latest in sophisticated technology, but countless other modern amenities as well. From Olympic-quality sports facilities, to public concert halls and art galleries; Canada’s post-secondary campuses offer you enormous possibilities for learning and leisure. Plus, students have incredible opportunities to meet like-minded individuals and gain valuable experience through student-run governments, radio, newspapers, and businesses.

Innovative and abundant research opportunities

Since research is one of the key components of a Canadian post-secondary education, students have ample opportunity to become a part of this vibrant aspect of education. In Canada, government and industry together support research including: telecommunications, medicine, agriculture, computer technology, and environmental science.
