Overview

Why study in Canada?

Canada offers a choice between research-intensive universities and career-focused colleges offering postgraduate diplomas and certificates. Cities such as Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal and Ottawa have large international-student communities.

Canada has introduced study-permit caps and Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL) requirements in recent years, and Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) eligibility now depends on the programme. We check current rules for every application before you apply.
