Study in Canada, An attractive proposition for Indian students - Global Tree.

Canada has long established itself as a popular destination for international students and is one of the most favored countries for students from India who aspire to pursue their higher education abroad. Research conducted by the Canadian Bureau for International Education (CBIE) indicates that an increasing number of students from India are opting to study in Canada on account of the superior quality and academic standards of the Canadian education system and its reputation as a friendly, safe and tolerant nation.

In the light of the current geopolitical climate prevailing in the world, where most countries are tightening immigration laws, Canada’s welcoming policies have also helped in increasing its popularity among Indian students.

Measures taken by Canadian Government to attract international students

The government of Canada’s International Education Strategy aims to utilize the knowledge base of the global economy to drive economic growth and innovation in the country. One of the major components of this strategy is to bring in more than 450,000 students to study in Canada by the year 2022. The Canadian government hopes to achieve this through the following measures

• 1.       Plans are on the anvil to ease the rules for international students to work during their studies as well as after the completion of the course. This will attract more students who are interested in exploring career opportunities in Canada
• 2.       The government of Canada is also working on increasing the number of job opportunities that are available for graduates from Canadian institutions
• 3.       Federal and provincial governments are launching various drives as well as outreach programs for international students to interact with the local populace and feel at home.
• 4.       The Canadian government as well as non-government and private organizations are offering a wide range of scholarships, some of which are specifically reserved for students from India and Asia Pacific region to attract students from these parts

With these and a spate of other advantages to its credit, it’s not surprising that Canada tops the list of most popular study abroad destinations for Indian students.

The federal and provincial governments of Canada are taking various measures to attract international students from India and other regions of Asia Pacific to opt for study in Canada. There are a number of advantages for a student who pursues his abroad education in Canada, which explains its popularity among international students.
