How to choose a course and university in Canada
You need to filter from a list of top Canadian universities basis a few factors like:
Points to note
Save yourself from any scam checking if your desired institution falls under the list of Designated Learning Institutions (DLIs).
What are DLIs and why do you need to know about them?
These are the Canadian educational institutions that are approved by the Provinces and Territories of Canada to admit international students. Whichever post-secondary school you choose, make sure to check that it is a part of a list of DLIs.
How many institutions should you apply for?
You can keep several options for educational institutions but keep following points in mind.
Are you ready for proving your language skills?
Documentation for the application process
Since you have already cleared the language proficiency tests, use your language skills to draft a few documents while applying to the universities. Depending on the course, the institutions may require you to submit:
Points to note
Make no mistakes
The universities encourage quality research. Sources and citations within research papers are of extreme importance in Canadian universities and plagiarism doesn’t go well with them.
Waiting to hear back from universities?
The response from your applied institution may take some time (around 6 to 8 weeks). This may range from a few weeks to a few months from the deadlines of accepting applications from students.
Congratulations on your admit! What’s next?
Check on the university website if your course requires a student permit or a work permit or both. Also, it is important to have a valid passport before applying for a student permit
Canada student permit is a document issued by IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) required by international students to study in Canada. The student permit is issued for the duration of the period a student will need to complete the program.
In the points below, we will provide steps to follow to procure a study permit. Please note that you are advised to read thoroughly every point in the links provided below as these form a part of the official government website of Canada.
Points to note
For students going for Quebec, refer to additional visa requirements below in the last section of this guide.
International students in Canada may have access to a wide range of financial aid options to assist them with the costs of studying in Canada.
Broadly, these options fall into two categories:
Scholarships
Financial aid granted for academic or extracurricular achievement is known as a scholarship, or sometimes a grant. Students who receive scholarships do not have to pay the money back. Some scholarships are available to all students going to all universities in various fields, while some are region specific (like Ontario).
There are many university-specific scholarships available as well. The details of these will be available on their websites. The overall grants could start from $2,000 and range upto being fully-funded as well. Prospective international students are encouraged to refer to institutions directly to find out more about available options.
Loans
International students in Canada have access to student loans on the same terms as Canadian citizens or permanent residents. Consequently, international students in Canada pay the same interest rates and have the same repayment schedule as Canadian citizens or permanent residents.
However, international students may not be eligible for loans from provincial or federal governments and may need to investigate private loans with banks. Several banks offer separate loans, credit lines, and interest rates for students.
Canada seems to be more open in welcoming people from all across the world for Immigration reasons. Choosing a location where you may have relatives makes it easier initially. The time difference between Canada from India is almost 9.5 hours. The weather is on the colder side where winters can be gruelling with -30 degrees Celsius at some places. In summers, the weather is pleasant under 30 degrees Celsius.
International students need to have a health cover in Canada providing 24-hours-a-day, 7-days-a-week medical assistance. Health insurance laws, however, are divided according to which provinces (states or geographical areas) you live in. A broad range of cost could be from CAD 275 to CAD 500. The cheapest available insurance designed specifically for international students is at Alberta (CAD 68) and British Columbia (CAD 36). Universities in Canada take mental health seriously.
As an international student in Canada, once you have completed the first six months of your bachelors or masters, you can get a permit to work part-time, off-campus for up to 20 hours a week. During semester breaks, you are allowed to work full-time. However, if you are in an intensive course, the university will recommend you to not work more than 12 hours a week.
In order to work “off-campus”, a study permit must be authorized by a visa officer. If you are enrolled in a full-time academic, professional or vocational training program at a designated learning institution, you may be eligible to work “off-campus” without a work permit. However, it should be printed on the study permit that you are authorized to work off-campus.
It may not be easy to get hold of your first job. Students use Indeed.com and various other local websites to find jobs but most of the time, it requires in-person visits and taking follow-ups politely. Some common part time jobs not related to your subject that you can do in Canada are listed below.
The student work laws are more lenient; you can work both on-campus and off-campus. The minimum work wage is CAD 10.25 per hour. After tax, you may earn about CAD 200 per week and CAD 800 per month.. Find out more about working in Canada while studying.
Co-op Programs
You can work outside the campus and this may be a part of your coursework. Some courses require you to work in industries for a semester. This period is called a work term. You can ask your co-op department if you find an organization to work with. There are a few eligibility requirements to work as a co-op student in Canada. These programs enhance your resume as you get some work experience.
If you look for the best jobs for in Canada, it depends on your expectations of ‘best’ job such as work-life balance, promotion spans, salary, and peers among many others. There can be multiple fields of work where salaries are high and comparable. However, a few degrees that are probable to land you into a well-paying job include examples such as dentistry, medicine, nursing, law, engineering, computer science, business.

After graduation, following fields of work offer high paying jobs:
For careers in Computer Science, the average salary ranges from CAD 39,000 to CAD 80,000. Some popular jobs include Information Technology Specialists, programmers, researchers, teachers, game developers, trainers for application support among many others.
If you have graduated from a list if DLIs then you can apply for Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP). There are two scenarios arising:

Permanent Residency
To study in Canada in Québec, the international students, depending on their duration of study have to obtain permission to study from the governments of Quebec and Canada by applying to a certificate of acceptance. This has to be done before applying for a study permit. Some steps a student needs to follow to obtain a CAQ.
Once your application has been accepted, a copy of your CAQ for studies will be mailed to you and a conditional agreement will be dispatched to the Canadian visa office indicated in your application form. This office will validate your financial capacity to continue your studies in Québec.
Send your complete file to the Service aux étudiants étrangersin Montréal by placing an online pickup request on Yocket.

You can submit application form offline which has to be sent with your credit card number to Quebec to pay the application fees of CAD 114. However, it is suggested to fill the form and submit all the supporting documents online to avoid any payment issues e.g., in case there are not enough funds in your account associated with credit card you have mentioned, your application will be straight rejected.
