‘Good education and value for money’
There are several reasons why a student wanting to study abroad should choose a Canadian university. Andrew Smith tells you why
As a member of the trade commissioner service from the Cabinet of Canada our mandate is to promote educational services in Canada. We have been spending some time doing this a few years. We have 2.1 lakh Indian students with visas currently studying in Canada and that’s a five-fold increase over the last five years and those effects have come alone through the promotional efforts.
The schools have people on ground to do the promotions, we got the MOU use linking Canadian and Indian institutes. When we are talking about higher education in Canada for Indian students, the scope is large.
We have got a lot of universities and UG school in India, they approach us for education fairs we have got a lot of universities and UG school in India, they approach us for education fair..
I think the opportunities are available and massive something as specific as selfish research that is when we looking at and our education portals are self-sufficient which king of getting you the best universities and you can fly too directly.
When Indian students look to study abroad, and when they look at Canada they know that thare getting world-class education in a safe and welcoming environment, their families are getting a good education and good value of money the students. In many cases, they can choose where there is an Indo-Canadian community to help them with the onboarding.
They get the intellectual witness and richness of campuses and contribute to the country’s economy so they are important to us as well. All though they can become ambassadors for India in that two-way trading relationship.
An Indian students if choosing Canada will have the study to purse permanent residency if they choose so and the area we work really hard on is really fast processing students visas, so when parents consider all of those factors they will choose Canada.
