Focus Education & Consultant Pvt. Ltd.

 

According to a United Nations survey, Canada is a first-class country to live in. So, if you are seeking a high quality of life above anything else, it is the right place for you. Besides its capital city Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary, Quebec and Victoria are some world-class cities of Canada. Furthermore, it has a large Asian Diaspora of students and offers a truly international educational experience. Another plus point is that Canadian education is well renowned around the globe and of the highest standard. It is much cheaper to study in Canada than in other English-speaking countries.

 

Canada offers you a wide range of educational options to choose from. With over 90 universities and 150 colleges and technical institutes, you will find almost any subject of your interest area. Post secondary education is offered by four types of educational institutions - Universities, University Colleges, Community Colleges/Technical Institutes, and Career Colleges.

 

The academic year usually starts in September and ends in May, and is normally divided into two semesters.  Some institutes operate on a semester or trimester system and admit students in January and/or May as well as September.  Many institutes offer a limited number of courses and special programs during the summer session.

Costs of Study

 

It is estimated to run a budget between CAD 19000 and CAD 27000 per year to study in Canada along with the living expenses. The costs are based on the ones from the colleges and universities represented by us. For any specific college or university costing information, please contact us.

Part of your total costs can be met by a job. But, it is very tough to get one and it would always be ideal not to consider it as a source of funding. Full-time students registered in a degree or diploma-granting course are allowed to work on campus of the institution at which they are registered without the need for an employment authorization. This includes on-campus employment for graduate, teaching or research assistants. Spouses of full-time students are eligible for open or open/restricted employment authorizations, depending on medical requirements having been met. Students whose intended employment forms an integral part of their course of study such as undergraduate co-op programs, some programs offered by career colleges or language schools and some high school programs could experience real life work experience.

 

Financial Aid/Scholarships

 

There is only limited financial assistance available for international students. Scholarships are usually offered on merit basis; so it is very competitive to get one. Even if you get a scholarship, it will not cover your entire cost of study. Community and Career Colleges, and most private schools do not usually award scholarships. Most scholarships are available to graduate students in the form of tuition waivers, assistantships or fellowships and they are awarded in a wide variety of disciplines. Those students who show evidence of a high level of academic achievement, who have achieved high scores on standardized tests (TOEFL, IELTS, GMAT, etc.), who have specialized in a field or have a research interest which parallels that of department and faculty or private funding source, who have outstanding letters of recommendation and an impressive statement of purpose will more likely get financial aid. 

 

Admissions

 

If you plan to study in Canada, you should start well in advance - 1 year prior to your expected entry should be nice. Admission process and requirements vary from institution to institution. Generally, for admission in undergraduate level, students must have completed twelve years of academic education, and for postgraduate level it is sixteen years. If you've done three years of bachelor's degree, then you'll have to do diploma for one year in Canada to be eligible for a Master's degree course.

 

The major languages used in Canada are English and French. But most of the universities offer courses in English language. IELTS is most widely recognized and accepted English language test in Canada, however, some universities even accepts TOEFL. The score that you must obtain in these language tests vary from institution to institution and course of study students choose. Some universities even seek for other medium of English language test assessment, which might even be Canadian Academic English Language (CAEL) assessment.

 

Main enrolment session is in September and then January. Some institutions accept enrolment in May as well.
