Study in Canada pros and cons

Benefits:

• High academic standards and strict control over the quality of education ensure that the received diploma will be highly quoted all over the world and will open doors for employment in the future.
• The standard of living is the highest, and the prices for education and accommodation for foreigners will sometimes be lower than, for example, in the USA or Great Britain.
• Multicultural society. The diversity of people from different cultures will make the student body unforgettable.
• Safety is one of the main reasons why you should choose Canada. For example, the United Nations has ranked the country as one of the best places to live for several years in a row because of respect for human rights, equality and stability, and peace in society.
• The study takes place in French or English. By the way, we want to note that Canada is one of the leading countries in language teaching in the world.
• The ability to conduct innovative research. “Research” is an integral part of programs in research universities, so it will be a rewarding experience for science lovers.
• The possibility of immigration is probably the main aspect that attracts many. The government has created a special scoring system and a transparent immigration policy, thanks to which, talented foreign specialists add to the list of residents of Canada.

Disadvantages

• Few people know the fact that Canada is a closed society. What does this mean? Without a doubt, Canadians are friendly, peaceful and polite, however, as student reviews show, it is almost impossible to find friends – Canadians. Often, the guys either communicate with representatives of their diaspora, for example, the Ukrainian one, or find friends among representatives of other nationalities. According to the well-known resource “Times Higher Education”, only 30% manage to establish close, friendly relations with the local population.
• For many, distance becomes a real challenge. Flights are expensive and there are not always good connections, so students and parents will have to prepare to see each other several times a year.
• Few positions for highly skilled immigrants. If we compare the chances of a Canadian and a Ukrainian for employment in top positions (for example, in the business industry), preference will always be given to the first. In lower-skilled positions, there are excellent chances of finding a job. Here it is important to understand who is going to Canada for what and what they are dreaming of.
• Weather. Yes, the nature is mesmerizing, but the winter period is cold enough for warmth lovers. Throughout the winter, snow falls abundantly, and the temperature drops to -25 degrees.
