Study in Canada

To apply for a Canadian study permit, you must first be accepted into a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) in Canada. Then, gather all required documents, including a Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL), proof of identity, and proof of financial support. Finally, submit your application online through the official Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) website.

Canada doesn't have universities that are inherently 'easier' for PR. The pathway to permanent residency largely depends on the province and its specific Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs). Provinces like Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and those in the Atlantic region (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador) are often cited for their more accessible PNP streams for international graduates.

An undergraduate degree in Canada typically costs between CAD 20,000 and CAD 30,000 per year for international students, with some programs like engineering and medicine being more expensive. In addition to tuition and student fees, other major costs include living expenses, health insurance, and books and supplies. The overall cost to study in Canada varies significantly by province, institution, and lifestyle.

Indian students in Canada can access various scholarships. Top options include the Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarships for doctoral studies, the Lester B. Pearson International Scholarship at the University of Toronto, and specific awards from universities like UBC, Waterloo, and York. Many provinces also offer their own scholarships for international students.
