Once Nelson Mandela said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
Is your study destination in Canada? What if you get a golden chance to flourish your dream to study abroad with your desired program? It seems like icing on the cake, right?
Before discussing the admission process in Canadian universities, it would be better if we knew the benefits of studying in Canada.
Benefits to study in Canada
Acountry’s educational system varies from country to country. If you are looking for a high-quality study, Canada could be the best option for you. And The benefits of studying in Canada are enormous. Let’s give you a short glimpse of it.
Quality of education
Canada is well-known for the standard of education they are providing. It is famous for its top-notch education services. Canada’s education is based on development and research.
Moreover, as you are making the admission process in Canada, you better know that Canada’s school system is different based on the province and region. They are providing education both in English and French.
It is an internationally acknowledged education that sets its standard on the top level. Don’t think twice. If needed, take the help of any Canadian education consultants to have a delicate application process in Canadian universities.
Quality of living
Besides studying in Canada, if you search for a standard of living, you can consider Canada as one of the best places for you. Canada is such a country where people are cheerful and full of life and welcome the other nationalist with a warm heart. Their communities are very welcoming. The country is packed with various sweet seasons, multicultural diversity, enchanting wildlife, and a clean environment.
As an international student, when you want to study abroad, maybe the matter of safety comes to your mind first. In this case, Canada is considered as one of the safest countries where people are judged by action, not the origin or country.
Accommodation
In your admission process in Canada, learning about the accommodation system is very important wherever you go to the school or the university.
You can choose either a university-managed accommodation or a private landlord when studying abroad in Canada.
If you choose university-managed accommodation, they will provide two options. After choosing your option, the university will let you know if your chosen accommodation system is available or not. They are-
A. Catered- You will get a cooked meal and a degree of certainty or assurance with meal cost.
B. Self-catered – In the self-catered system, you have to make your meal.
If your university cannot provide you with accommodation, or you are thinking of renting a house, your university may help you by providing the list of the private landlord in this area.
You can earn while studying
I know studying abroad is very expensive. A student usually stays under immense pressure while they migrate for study because tuition fees and living costs become significant factors.
In this situation, the Canadian government gives students a chance to work as long as 20 hours during their semester and a full-time work permit throughout the mid-year and winter breaks.
In short, if you have a study permit from an eligible institution in Canada where you have enrolled, you can work.
Education System in Canada
There are three intakes in the Canadian Education system. It is very beneficial for the international student because you can have the opportunity to enrol and the liberty to choose the time.
So there are three intakes for international students to apply in Canadian universities. The intakes are-
- Fall– In September, the fall intake begins.
- Winter– If you somehow miss the fall intake, the winter intake gives you another chance to apply that starts in January.
- Summer– Summer intake opens in April and May, only available for limited programs and college.
So grab the opportunities among these intakes and be a part of the top students around the world.

- Choosing an appropriate course and institution has paramount importance
The step towards studying in Canada starts from choosing an institution that is DLI based ( Designated learning institution). Only DLIs have the power to enlist international students.
After choosing the institution, now you need to focus on the major subject that you are interested in.In terms of choosing a course, AIMS Education expert counsellors can help you with their knowledge and experience.

Now that you have chosen a course and an institution that you are interested in, the next important part is to give a language proficiency test.
You should have language proficiency in English or french. In English, most
universities demand a good IELTS score. In certain exceptional cases, some universities accept advanced Cambridge or TOEFL English scores.

It’s high time to apply for the universities that you have listed in your top priority list. Yes, you can apply to many universities at a time, but with it, you have to pay the application fees that cost from $100-$250.
