Home >> Why study in Canada
|
Canadians place great importance on learning, and have developed a first-rate education system with high standards. The country spends more on education compared to the Organization for Economic and Cooperation and Development (OECD) average and is highest among G-7 countries.
International students can save considerably by studying in Canada. In a 2003 survey complied by the Association of Commonwealth Universities, Canada offered the lowest rates for foreign students compared to the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Fees in the US public universities were almost 1/3 higher than fees for Bachelor's degrees in Canada, while US private university fees were more than double. If you factor in Canada's low cost of living, and the overall financial advantage becomes even greater.
Canadians and visitors to Canada enjoy a quality of life that is recognized worldwide. Safe neighborhoods in some of North America's most cosmopolitan cities, top-notch health care and public transportation, world class higher education system - these are some of the aspects of Canadian life that are considered excellent. Canada has been consistently ranked as one of the top three places in the world to live by the United Nations. These were based on its access to education, high life expectancy, and low crime rates.
Canada has traditionally been a country of immigrants. Infact, one out of three Canadians has an ethnic background other than English, French or Aboriginal. You will experience a secure, peaceful, multi-cultural environment in cities and towns and people interested in learning about other cultures. Almost all of the world's ethnic groups are represented in Canada, and most ethnic foods and recreation activities associated with specific cultures are available which international student advisors can assist students to get in touch with.
