Is it better to go to the United States for postgraduate study or Canada for postgraduate study?

During the college entrance examination season, candidates are nervously preparing for the final sprint. On the other hand, in order to give children more choices, many parents have made an abacus of "studying abroad" and want to prepare for their children's "future road". Recently, some parents asked me the same question, that is, if I want to send my children to study abroad, I prefer North American countries, but I don't know which is more suitable, the United States or Canada? I believe this is also a problem that many parents are very concerned about. Today, I will make a comparison for you from the following aspects for your reference only.

Study abroad expenses

After completing the undergraduate course in the United States, the four-year cost will reach RMB 5.5 550- 1.3 million, while in Canada, the total cost will generally remain between RMB 440,000 and RMB 780,000, which is lower than that in the United States.

Scholarships American universities are not only famous for their high level of education, but also generous in awarding scholarships. Among them, the number and types of undergraduate scholarships are the largest in the world, including full and partial scholarships, as well as various grants and subsidies. Canadian universities basically have no similar "welfare" for international students, because Canada mainly focuses on public education, and large scholarships are mainly for its own citizens.

Immigration intention

Canada's immigration policy is relatively loose. According to the current laws in Canada, as long as you can complete undergraduate studies, you will have the opportunity to obtain a work visa and further obtain a "green card" for immigrants. However, the immigration policy in the United States is relatively difficult, not only in terms of quotas, but also in terms of applicants' majors. Therefore, for those students who want to work in the United States or Canada in the future, Canada has greater opportunities.

Differences in entrance examinations

To apply for an American university, you must pass the American College Entrance Examination, that is, the American College Entrance Examination: SAT- 1 or ACT. Some universities also require students to provide at least 1-2 SAT-2 test scores. However, there is no such requirement for "entrance examination" in Canada, which is one of the characteristics of the Canadian education system.

quality of education

The education systems in the United States and Canada are similar, and the quality of education is world-class. The difference is that the essence of American education is mostly concentrated in the postgraduate and doctoral stages, while Canada is concentrated in the middle school and undergraduate stages. Although the United States is the most developed country in the world with many world-renowned top universities, there are also many "pheasant" universities in the United States, which need to be very careful when choosing, while most of Canada are government-funded public schools, and the teaching quality is relatively guaranteed.

Professional department

The United States has the largest number of colleges and universities in the world, with rich educational resources, more detailed division of majors and more choices for international students. In contrast, Canadian universities have fewer majors.
