What are the advantages of studying in Canada to attract international students?

In recent years, Canada has become a country with many choices for international students. Why is its study abroad so popular? There are many reasons. Let's analyze why it is popular to study abroad and how to apply.

First, the reasons for choosing to study in Canada

1. Why did they choose Canada?

China has a population of 65.438+0.37 billion, and its economy is developing rapidly. Coupled with the previous "one-child policy", many middle-class families can afford to study abroad for hundreds of thousands of dollars, so that their children can receive the best education in a safe environment, and Canada can fully meet these two points.

In fact, the famous McKinsey & Company research shows that by 2022, 76% of the urban population in China will enter the middle class. This is a huge number. Even if only 0.0 1% of young people in China choose to study in Canada, it will have a positive impact on the Canadian economy.

"The average annual cost of foreign students is $365,438 +0.700, including tuition, books, accommodation, meals, transportation and other living expenses," Laura Cooper, an economist at Royal Bank of Canada, wrote in the report.

The report also pointed out that Canada's quality education and cost advantage are important factors for the substantial increase in the number of international students since 2007. In the "programme for international student assessment" of OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development), Canadian educational achievements beat Australia, the United States and Britain, ranking seventh in the world. Canada ranks first in the global education ranking, beating all other countries.

More importantly, the tuition fees of international students in Canada are lower than those of their neighbors in the south. The average cost in Canada is $22,000/year.

2. Canada wants to retain talents.

It is a fact that many people come to Canada, and it is also important for the Canadian government to retain talents. Review the international education strategy issued by the government of 20 1 1 Harper. In order to attract more international students, it is planned to double the number of international students to 450,000 by 2022, and ensure that Canada has a system to retain graduates.

Compared with the United States and Britain, it is much easier for Canada to obtain a graduation work visa. At present, it is stipulated that international students can graduate for three years, which is an important time to gain work experience in Canada. It is easier and shorter for international students who graduated from Canada to get PR, and there are many immigration methods to choose from.

In order to maintain Canada's present and future prosperity, we must retain talents.

By 2025, it is estimated that the number of international students will reach 6.4 million, and Canada will become the strongest competitor.

Second, the application conditions for studying in Canada

Secondary school application conditions:

1. Provide junior high school graduation certificate or high school attendance certificate.

2. Provide qualified test scores, especially in the last two years.

18 and 19 students need Canadian citizens or permanent residents as guardians. For example, students under the age of 0/8 in Alberta, Ontario, Manitoba, Manitoba/KLOC; Students under the age of 0/9 in British Columbia, New Brunswick and Newfoundland.

University and postgraduate application process:

Generally speaking, it takes 8 months to apply for universities and graduate students, which means that students should prepare for studying abroad at least 1 year in advance.

Some schools need to apply for accommodation three months in advance, so applying for schools in advance can give you more choices.

Although the road to studying abroad is not easy, it can help children improve their language ability, cultivate their ability to live independently and feel multicultural. Therefore, more and more parents in China choose to send their children abroad to study when they are very young. From the child's point of view, in fact, each age group has different advantages in studying abroad.

Private secondary schools in Canada offer a variety of subjects, which enables students to be exposed to many aspects of knowledge when studying here. So what are the application conditions and materials for private high schools in Canada now?

Third, the skills of applying for Canada

1, academic performance requirements

Learning information is also the basic element of private school application. The learning information that ordinary schools need students to provide refers to school transcripts and standardized test scores. School transcripts generally refer to the latest mid-term or final transcripts, but it is not excluded that some schools need students to provide transcripts for nearly three years. If students have taken standardized tests and academic proficiency tests in their original schools, including TOEFL, IELTS, provincial exams, HKCEE, etc. Some schools also require students to provide the results of these tests.

2. Letter of recommendation

Letter of recommendation is one of the basic elements that most schools need to provide. General schools need applicants to provide 1 to 3 letters of recommendation, and indicate that these letters of recommendation can come from principals, teachers or consultants, extracurricular activity instructors, friends, etc. The school you are currently attending. These letters of recommendation must be filled out by the recommender himself and sent directly to the target school, and cannot be transferred to the target school by the applicant.

Step 3 interview

Many schools require students and parents to attend interviews at school. Interview is the biggest problem for many parents and students in China. Application form, study materials, recommendation letter and interview are the four elements in the application of private schools. In face-to-face communication, the school can intuitively judge whether the student is as excellent as shown in the written application materials and whether the student can really integrate into the school collective.
