Canada Vs Australia and UK.
Australia is a popular destination for many Nepali students. It is almost like a culture that every 8 students out of 10 seek to study in Australia. Hence, Nepal is the third most country to fulfill international students in Australia. But after the covid situation Australia closed its international borders for a long time. There were students who got a visa to study in Australia but still not able to attend college or university physically in Australia. This has shifted students to go to other countries. The UK (United Kingdom) is one of them. The UK has been attracting Nepali students recently along with Canada.
While comparing these three countries, we do not say Canada is far better than Australia and the UK. But there are few points which make Canada slightly better than Australia and the UK.
- Tuition fees and the living costs are quite low in Canada.
- You can apply for a job after completing a two years diploma or 3 years advance diploma course.
- Courses in Canada are more popular than in Australia.
- You can get up to 3 years of post study work.
- PR processes and chances are high in Canada. Where in the UK it is very difficult and Australia also tightening the rules.
We would suggest Canada if you are likely to apply for PR in the later stages. So, all in all your choice to study in Canada will be justified with the above points.
