Advantages of studying abroad
First, the visa is valid for a long time.
If you apply for studying in Canada, you can apply for a visa for up to 10 years with the offer. This will be very beneficial for you to find a job in Canada in the future. You can try to immigrate after you find a job. Immigration in Canada is not as difficult as in the United States. Moreover, when you become a permanent resident of Canada, it will be much easier for your immediate family to apply for a Canadian visa. The time limit is 10 year.
Second, world-class education.
The government attaches great importance to education and invests heavily in education every year, so Canada has a complete education system. You don't have to worry that the education you receive in Canada is worse than that in other countries.
Third, pay attention to international students.
The Canadian government gives 5 million Canadian dollars to international students every year. As long as you are good enough, you can study in it, and your parents don't have to bear your expenses. In addition, there are 84,000 international students in China, which is the largest group of international students. Can better integrate into local schools.
Fourth, the tuition is lower.
Popular British and American countries spend 200,000-300,000 a year studying abroad, while Canada only needs about/kloc-0.50 million, which is more acceptable to the middle class.
5. Good law and order
Safety is always one of the most important factors. You certainly don't want to have an accident abroad. The crime rate in Canada is at a relatively low level in the world, so you will be less worried. Moreover, the political situation in Canada is stable, so there is no need to worry about sudden policy.
School welfare
1. International Center
Generally, the international center of the university is the first contact for international students after coming to the university. In normal study and life, if you don't know what to do when you encounter some problems, you can go to the International Center and ask the teacher for help. For example, the school registration period, expired passport, lost documents and so on.
2. Psychological counseling
Schools generally have psychological teachers, and some schools also have psychological teachers in the international department. Overseas students need to adapt to the new environment physically and mentally, and their academic pressure is also great. Therefore, there will be many psychological problems or pressures that cannot be properly channeled and vented. Canadian schools attach great importance to students' mental health, and foreign students can have psychological counseling when they have psychological needs.
3. Career guidance center
Publishing employment information, revising resumes and simulating interviews will all help.
Many foreign students are not easy to find jobs, especially in foreign countries, and many social rules are unknown. The school's career guidance center can give students very good guidance, which is much more practical and valuable than the help given by the off-campus employment agency.
4. Writing Center
This is free for everyone to revise their compositions at school. Many foreign students have good grammar and vocabulary, but they lack the format requirements for English writing. The details of the writing format will affect their composition scores. In this respect, international students usually pay more attention to it. When writing a composition and paper, you should arrange your time reasonably, and it is best to finish it in advance. Then, they go to the writing center and ask the teacher to revise and suggest their own articles, which will help them get high marks.
5. Interest classes at school
There will be many interest classes in the school, such as musical instruments, sports, dancing and so on. Try to get in touch with different things when studying abroad. University is a place to discover yourself, so you must use your own expenses to enrich yourself!
6. Medical insurance
Here, North American Feng Ge strongly advises international students to read medical insurance carefully! Different provinces and universities have different insurance contents. Some universities have benefits in medical insurance, such as free optometry, dental examination, tooth cleaning, vaccines, massage and so on. Some universities even have HPV cervical cancer vaccine in their medical insurance!
government policy
First of all, the validity of the Canadian student bursary will be extended for another two years.
Last year, the federal government doubled the welfare fund for Canadian students in the 20-2 1 academic year, with a maximum of 6,000 yuan for full-time students and 10000 yuan for disabled students.
In the budget of April this year, the federal government announced a subsidy policy aimed at helping college students, doubling the amount of the welfare fund for college students. This policy came into effect, and the doubling of welfare funds has been extended to July 2023.
This is part of the 4.5 billion yuan provided by the federal government for students and fresh graduates, which was included in the 20021federal budget.
According to the introduction of the federal government in official website, at present, the government provides welfare funds and loans for students, and students can apply directly to the local provincial government. Welfare is non-repayable; The loan needs to be repaid after finishing school, and the interest needs to be paid.
For full-time students, if they want to apply for this benefit, they should meet the following conditions:
There is a need for funds;
Is a full-time student of qualified courses in designated schools;
Your total household income is below the following income threshold.
Taking a family of three as a reference, when the annual total income of the family is less than 105872 Canadian dollars, the students of the family are eligible to apply for welfare funds; When the total annual family income is less than 55 196 Canadian dollars, family students are eligible to apply for the maximum amount of 6,000 Canadian dollars.
Even according to the calculation of the Federal Republic of official website, a single student with a four-year undergraduate tuition fee of 20,000 Canadian dollars can get a subsidy of up to 6,000 Canadian dollars if he applies for this money.
Two, graduates delay the payment of student loans until the income exceeds a certain value.
The Federation also outlined changes in the repayment assistance program, which allows graduates to postpone paying student loans until their income exceeds a certain threshold.
At present, the threshold is 25,000 Canadian dollars, but the 202 1 budget promises to raise the threshold to 40,000 Canadian dollars. However, it is not clear when this change will be implemented.
As early as April, the government also froze the interest on some federal student loans, but the loan repayment of students who did not participate in the repayment assistance program was not frozen. The government extended the suspension period of student loan interest until March 2023.
Earlier, NDP leader Qi Miancheng expressed the hope that the federal government would waive the maximum student loan of 20,000 yuan per student, permanently cancel the federal interest on student loans, provide them with a five-year grace period for repayment, and strive to let all Canadians receive higher education free of charge.
