What are the advantages of studying in Canada?

1. Do you know that studying in Canada has so many benefits?

1. Education in Canada

Our China is a nine-year compulsory education, and universities can apply for loans. As one of the countries with the largest per capita investment in education in the world, Canada's annual investment in education is as high as 7. 1% of GDP.

The Canadian Public Education Bureau provides free K- 12 education for Canadian citizens and residents, that is, preschool (5 years old) to 12th grade (18 years old). Adult basic education is also free, and higher education and vocational education can apply for interest-free loans and subsidies regardless of age and sex.

In addition, the subsidies for higher education are also quite high. Higher education institutions are divided into universities, university colleges, community colleges and vocational and technical colleges. Higher education in Canada is one of the top 100 universities in the world. In Canada, students can apply directly to universities without going through the college entrance examination, and the school will consider whether to accept them according to their usual grades, daily performance, specialties and comprehensive ability.

How to plan a good life is the core of Canadian education. From the beginning of high school, Canadian students need to plan and design their future development direction and start to take responsibility for themselves.

The average annual salary of Canadian university graduates after graduation is about 35,000 Canadian dollars (about 65,438 yuan +0.5-0.2 million yuan). Working 40 hours a week, basically no overtime. If you work overtime, the employer will generally compensate you according to 1- 1.5 times the hourly wage, with an average of 20-30 Canadian dollars/hour. In our country, it is normal for young graduates to work overtime, but the salary is ... Xin Jie doesn't want to talk about it. It can only be said that in a survey on the starting salary of major markets in the world, the average annual salary of Chinese graduates ranks third from the bottom, and the average annual salary is 1 1936 US dollars (about 80,000 yuan), which makes us feel embarrassed!

2. Canadian housing

Most people want to have a home with their loved ones, a room of their own, and a decoration they like. However, the high housing prices and the pressure of city life have discouraged many young people in China who are full of expectations for the future. And the house that has worked hard for a lifetime in China, what to do after 70 years of property rights expires, is full of uncertainty.

In Canada, you buy not only a house, but also property rights passed down from generation to generation and another home for future generations. In Canada, the property right of land can be privately owned, which may be one of the differences between Chinese and Canadian housing property rights. In Canada, buyers buy the property rights and use rights of houses and land. Apartments in Canada are usually condominiums. Residential units are privately owned, and public real estate is jointly owned by all owners. Outdoor maintenance work is the responsibility of the management company, and residents pay management fees every month. Because the outdoor part is maintained and managed by the management company, residents don't have to worry about changing roofs and external walls.

However, we need to remind everyone that if China people usually install range hoods in their kitchens and often make holes in the external walls, they should apply to the management unit for filing, so as to avoid future troubles.

In terms of real estate prices, compared with the current housing prices in China, the housing prices in Canadian metropolises are equivalent to those in small cities in China. In Wangjing, Beijing, a flat 100 commercial house with two bedrooms and two halls with elevator facing the north Xiaohe Park (70-year property right) needs at least 4.2 million RMB.

In Richmond Hill, Toronto, Canada, there is a luxury house, community, brand-new unilateral townhouse, with an area of 665,438+08 square meters, facing south, backed by Woods/golf course, 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, whole house with solid wood floor, open structure, a lot of upgrades, marble countertops, landscape ceilings, gas fireplaces, schools, shopping malls, parks, and near the lake (with land ownership)

3. Health care in Canada

In terms of medical insurance, China needs to buy its own medical insurance, covering essential drugs, some of which will be reimbursed. In case of serious illness, all imported drugs and equipment are at their own expense.

Canada, on the other hand, implements a universal health insurance plan, and residents enjoy free medical services. If you need to be hospitalized, your hospitalization expenses, medical expenses and meals will be paid by the health care plan. The Canadian government allocates about 4.8 billion Canadian dollars for health care benefits every year, and the provinces also provide low-cost and high-quality health care programs (Manitoba participates free of charge). Except for dentistry and ophthalmology, patients do not have to pay for medical treatment, laboratory tests, hospitalization and surgery, but only for prescription drugs.

If the family doctor thinks that the patient needs hospitalization or even surgery, regardless of the size of the surgery, all expenses will be borne by the medical insurance plan. During hospitalization, patients' meals, medicines and care are free, and they don't have to pay any fees themselves. Most prescription drugs for the elderly over 65 and those receiving social assistance are provided free of charge.

Canada's welfare system is a huge and complex system with a wide coverage. In addition to the national welfare system, there are also settings for different groups of people.

4. Canadian pensions

For the elderly, endowment insurance and previous savings are the main means of providing for the elderly in China. Canada's pension mainly comes from the following four sources:

(1) Old-age pension paid by the former work unit (usually only available to the government and large companies, and paid according to the policies of the former work unit, usually linked to working years and salary level at retirement);

(2) The old-age pension (OSA) given by the government can be received after you have lived in Canada for 65,438+00 years after reaching the age of 65,438+08, and the share can be received after living in Canada for 40 years after 65,438+08, with a monthly income of more than 500 yuan. Now the government has adjusted the starting point to 67 years old;

(3) CanadaPensionPlan-CPP is deducted from personal salary and can be applied after 60 years old. How much to take depends on how much the provident fund is paid, and it can be above 900 yuan every month;

(4) previous savings.

5. Born in Canada

There are also exclusive benefits for pregnant women and children in Canada. On maternity leave, China has at least 128 days of maternity leave, and Canada has one year of maternity leave. Moreover, Canada has a special "milk gold" policy. From July 65438 to July 65 1 day, the policy of "milk gold" was implemented as follows: the annual amount of "milk gold" for children under 6 years old was 6,400 Canadian dollars, and that for children aged 6 to 17 years old was 5,400 Canadian dollars. The amount of "milk gold" depends on family income. Families earning less than $30,000 a year can get the full amount. If the annual income exceeds 6.5438+0.9 million Canadian dollars, the "milk gold" is zero.

6. Canadian passport visa-free

Your passport is very important if you need to travel or work abroad. In recent years, the gold content of China passports is getting higher and higher. At present, more than 50 countries are exempt from visas, such as Indonesia, Vietnam, Fiji, Iran and Kenya, but you know that developed countries still need visas. Canadian passports have 172 countries, and developed countries such as the United States, Britain, Australia, New Zealand and the European Union are exempt from visas. Holding a Canadian passport means having a token that is unimpeded around the world.

In addition, the Canadian environment is very good, with blue sky, fresh air, clear water, healthy and safe food and so on, which makes anxious China people yearn for it.

2. Besides, what other benefits can students enjoy?

1. The application deadline has been advanced.

There are more and more international students applying to Canadian universities, but the number of students admitted to Canadian universities is limited. In previous years, the application for undergraduate admission in autumn in Canada generally ended in the middle and late June at 65438+ 10, but the deadline for admission in autumn at 20 18 was advanced in some schools, including the University of Toronto, and the deadline for most professional applications was advanced to June at 65438+ 10/3, and the University of British Columbia at 65438.

Secondly, in June 5438+10, Dalhousie University applied for management. Dalhousie University originally applied for liberal arts, science and computer-related majors in the spring, and this year it specially increased the application for management. Dalhousie University is an excellent business school in the four Atlantic provinces. It is an AACSB-certified business school, which can provide many emerging hot management professional directions, such as knowledge management, global management, public management and so on.

2. Canada's economic policy is favorable for China students to immigrate.

JohnMcCallum, the former Canadian immigration minister, will become the Canadian ambassador to China after his term of office. During his tenure as immigration minister, Mai Jia Lian has always supported Canada to increase the number of immigrants, believing that Canada's economic development needs more immigrants to stimulate, and has been committed to the reform of immigration policy.

3. More Canadian universities have added video application links.

With more and more outstanding students applying to Canadian universities every year, universities pay more attention to the comprehensive ability of applicants, rather than simply confirming admission according to students' standardized scores and documents. It is expected that more popular majors in universities will increase interviews or video interviews.

At present, in addition to requiring applicants to submit basic materials, schools and majors that have to complete video interviews include: University of Toronto Business and Engineering, University of British Columbia Business, McMaster University Engineering (added on 20 17), and University of Waterloo Engineering and Accounting (added on 20 17).

That is, in Toronto last year, UBC's engineering and business application required students to record videos to answer questions from the school, so as to evaluate students' oral ability and random response ability. From 20 18, engineering undergraduates from McMaster University and the University of Waterloo also require students to make videos. We expect more universities to join this link and examine students' real English ability.

4. A new work visa policy has been issued.

In order to attract more outstanding talents to study in Canada, the Canadian government has successively introduced two preferential immigration policies specifically for international students:

(1) Those who have studied for two years can apply for a three-year work visa after graduation.

(2) As long as you can get a work visa for 2-3 years and have one year's work experience after graduating from Canada, you can apply for immigration to Canada.
