A survey suggests that Canada is ‘safe and stable’ for foreign students

Navitas Insights has conducted two surveys in which Canada has come up among the list of top countries that are ‘safe and stable’ for international students. Canada’s ranking has improved due to its proper handling of the coronavirus pandemic and it has become one of the most popular study destinations for foreign students. As per the survey, Canada is not only considered ‘safe and stable’ but also an ‘open and welcoming’ country for students coming from overseas. Even during the pandemic, Canada introduced several measures to support foreign students. It has also lifted travel restrictions for those students who are admitted to a college or university that has a COVID-19 readiness plan. So, students from any country can travel to Canada and attend their colleges or universities. avitas conducted the first survey in May 2020. In that survey, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia came out to be the best study destinations for an international student. In another survey, conducted in September, Canada’s position got improved and it was competing with the United Kingdom to secure the top position.

How to get a Canadian study visa?

First of all, a student must decide which study program he or she wants to pursue and at what Designated Learning Institution he or she wants to study. Then, he or she can apply for the program of their choice on the university’s official website. If a student obtains a letter of acceptance from the Designated learning Institution, he or she can submit an application to the IRCC for the study permit. Students can also include their family members when they submit their study permit applications. And if they wish their spouses to come along and get an open work permit, they can include them in the application. However, international students must prove that they are financially capable to pay their tuition fees and live in Canada. Also, in order to get a study visa, their health condition must be good and they must not have any criminal record.
