How to study in Canada as an Indian student

Indian students make up over 30% of Canada’s international students.

According to a recent study by the Canadian Bureau of International Education, Canada is a top choice for international students due to its reputation as a safe, stable, and tolerant country in addition to the quality of its educational institutions.

This is especially true for Indian students who often choose Canada as a destination to study abroad. In fact, Indian students accounted for 30% of the total international students in Canada, at just over 217,000 as of December 31, 2021.

For Indian students, Canada is particularly attractive due to our shared language, English, as well as large and well-established Indian communities throughout the country. Additionally, international students in Canada are permitted to hold a job and work a specified number of hours per week.

Research on where you would like to study

 Spend time finding programs that align with your career goals, where the school is located and researching what your day-to-day life will be like. You should also make sure the program you select is at a designated learning institution (DLI). You can check this on the Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) website.

A designated learning institution is a school approved by a provincial or territorial government to host international students. If a school does not have DLI status, you will not be able to get a study permit, or later, a Post-Graduate Work Permit (PGWP)

Once you have decided which institution, or institutions, you would like to attend, go ahead and apply.
