Why Study in Canada
There are a number of reasons why more and more Filipinos are choosing to study in Canada. From Canada’s generally safe and inclusive society to its elite educational facilities and abundance of resources and opportunities, international students thrive in Canadian schools.
Multicultural Environment
Canada prides itself on its diversity and inclusivity. This environment fosters cross-cultural understanding, allowing you to learn from people of different backgrounds and perspectives. You can also find supportive communities and organizations dedicated to helping Filipino students integrate into Canadian society, making your transition smoother.
Post-Graduation Opportunities
Upon graduation, Filipino students have the option to gain valuable work experience through the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) program. This work permit allows graduates to work in Canada for up to three years, gaining relevant professional experience while exploring career opportunities. The Canadian government also provides pathways for international students to transition into permanent residency, making it an attractive destination for those seeking to settle abroad.
Natural Beauty and Outdoor Adventures
Canada is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes and outdoor adventures. From stunning national parks to vibrant cities, there is no shortage of natural beauty to explore. Filipino students can take advantage of their study breaks and weekends to engage in activities like hiking, skiing, kayaking, and exploring the country’s picturesque sights.
