What to consider when it comes to higher education
The right higher education can set you on the right path on life.
But make the wrong choice and you could end up being overeducated and underqualified.
Not every diploma, degree, or school is equal.
A lot depends on what you're looking to get out of your post-secondary educaton.
Do you want to learn a particular technical skill as soon as possible? Are you more interested in the 'How'?
Do you want to understand the theory that forms the basis of practical skills and are interested in the 'Why'? Or do you think you might be interested in doing a deep dive into a particular subject and becoming a researcher?
Whatever your reasoning, it's important you understand what you want to get out of your education, and do your research into potential programs and schools. You don't want to end up paying for two to four years for a piece of paper rather than an education that teaches you the complex problem solving, decision-making, and creative skills you need to be successful.

Why Study in Canada?
- Canada ranks among the top places to study in the world and is an education superpower. U.S. News and World Report consistently ranks Canada among their top 5 Best Countries for Education survey. Year after year, Canada is one of the most popular destination for international students with 500,000 foreign students studying in Canada each year.
- The vast majority of Canada's colleges and universities are public, not private. As public institutions, they're held to a high standard. Canadian post-secondary schools put a high emphasis on post-graduation employability. Best of all, Canadian schools are known for their education, not for being high-priced diploma factories.
- Canada continues to be ranked #1 (in a good way) in various country surveys. U.S. News and World Report ranked Canada as #1 in their latest survey, in 2021. Key factors that are considered include: Canada's well-developed public education and health system, political stability, economic stability, and being safe and family-friendly.
- Care about the future? Well, Canada is the place for you. People in Canada care about human rights, social justice, racial equity, gender equality, political distribution of power, animal rights, and property rights, so much so that Canada ranks #1 in social issues. In simpler terms, Canadian are just plain nice!
- Canada is the #1 country for immigration. It is the only country where foreign students can obtain permanent residence in as little as 6 months. Students who study in the U.K. and U.S. have to return to their home country if they cannot find an employer to sponsor them. In Canada, students can apply for immigration themselves. They do not need an employer to sponsor their permanent residence. In Canada, international students get preferential treatment when they apply for permanent residency and/or citizenship.
- Work part-time while finishing your schooling. You will automatically qualify for a work permit if studying full-time for 1 year or more. For example, you can work 20 hours per week and full–time during the summer, including any holiday breaks.
- Upon graduating from an eligible program and college or university, you will be eligible for a one to three year post-graduate work permit, which allows you to work for almost any employer in almost any job.
- Free world-class healthcare available to international students in most Provinces and health insurance is cheap.
