I would like to ask whether it is better for the master of mining engineering to study in Australia or Canada, mainly non-coal mines such as metal and nonmetal, and ask experts to answer.

If you study non-coal mines, you must choose between Australia and Canada. I suggest you go to Canada. Australian universities mainly specialize in coal mining. Moreover, private mining is a kind of low recovery rate but high efficiency, which does not conform to the national conditions of China (it should be noted here that private mining is not as unique as China, and many of them are left as long-term reserves, so the accident rate is very low because of less recovery. But those things are not used at all in China. At present, there is a shortage of technical personnel in Australian coal mines. Most of the recruited mines sign technology import contracts and will stay in Australia after graduation. So if you are mainly non-coal, I don't recommend you to go to Australia.

Canada's mining industry is quite satisfactory, not very distinctive, and of course its strength is relatively average. If you want to learn some real skills there, it will be very difficult. However, it is more than enough to get a diploma and trick China people into returning to China. At present, students majoring in Canada don't have the same policy as Australia, so it may be difficult for you to work in the local area after you finish your studies. Basically, I went back to China after studying.

The answer is more detailed, hope to adopt.
