Study in CANADA

Education in Canada is under the complete jurisdiction of the provinces and territories (States) and as such, there is no Federal (Central) education system in Canada. In keeping with the national commitment to education, public education in Canada is free up to and including secondary school (12th Std), in all the provinces.

At the postsecondary level, institutions are divided into community colleges and universities. A significant number of university graduates attend college upon completion of their degree in order to acquire vocational skills for employment.

Education System

Canada has one of the best and most respected education systems in the world. Every year, thousands of students from other countries pursue their educational goals in Canada. With new ways to gain valuable Canadian work experience during and after your studies, the advantages of studying in Canada are great. There are also permanent immigration options for international students who have graduated from post-secondary programs in Canada.

Canada’s education system is based on levels that start with elementary (kindergarten to grade 8), secondary (Grade 9-11 or 12) and then post secondary options (college to university).
As a global leader in innovation, technology, research and development, Canada’s post secondary system is at the centre of the new knowledge economy. You may choose to study at college, university or both to develop key skills, work with industry and contribute new ideas in the academic community.

Scholarship Opportunities

Individual University Scholarships in Ireland are also available. Several Institutes of Technologies offer merit-based scholarships to Indian students based on their academic percentage. If you need information on scholarships in Ireland, please get in touch with us.
Scholarships in Canada are quite competitive as they are very limited in number as compared to scholarships offered by other countries like USA, UK or Australia. The eligibility for scholarships is judged on the basis of outstanding academic grades and exceptional English Proficiency scores. Scholarships are mostly offered by the universities without any separate application, based on the eligibility benchmarks but at some institutions the students need to apply specifically for the same. Scholarships are majorly offered at the entry level but for some scholarships the students are supposed to prove their excellence in academics in the subsequent years of education as well.

VISA

VISA Requirements

Depending on your country of origin and the type and length of study, you may require:

  • A temporary resident visa
  •  A study permit
  • For Quebec-bound students, a CAQ (Quebec Application Certificate)

The type of documentation required depends on your country of origin, the program you are taking, and the length of your study:

  • any study program of up to six months: no study permit is required
  •  Programs longer than six months require a study permit

If you will be studying in a program of six months or less, but think you may continue your studies in another program after this short-term program is completed, you should apply for a study permit before you come to Canada. If you do not have a valid study permit and wish to continue your studies, you will have to leave Canada in order to apply for one.

FAQ'S

If your visa is refused and you have paid a deposit to your institution for tuition fees then you will receive a refund of the deposit when you send the institution a copy of your visa refusal letter from the High Commission. A few institutions deduct a small amount usually no more than £ 100 for processing the refund payment.

As compared to the cost of studying in India only, going abroad can seem to be steeply expensive. However one must keep the possible returns in mind which are in the form of quality of education, international exposure and boost to your career when evaluating the costs of studying abroad. A student can rely on sources like family funds, bank loans, scholarships, bursaries, sponsorships etc. to provide for funds required by him.

As the Tuition fees are quite low, scholarship opportunities are limited in Canada.
Students having an academic percentage of 75% and above may be awarded scholarships by the institution.
The age of majority is different in each province and territory in Canada, although it is usually 18 or 19 years of age. Anyone under the age of majority is considered to be a minor. Unaccompanied minors wishing to obtain a study permit must appoint a custodian who will care for and support them while in Canada. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) requires a notarized declaration, which has been signed by the minor’s parents in the country of origin and the custodian in Canada. A custodian can be a family member, trusted friend or member of the institution which the minor is attending. For more information about finding a custodian, we can contact the international student office of the institution where the minor child plans to study.
