Introduction to the advantages of Canadian immigrants studying abroad

# Canada Immigration # Introduction Studying in Canada is a successful way to immigrate to Canada. It is easier to apply for immigration after graduation. Compared with traditional investment immigrants and skilled immigrants whose application period may be as long as several years, the Canadian government is now more inclined to absorb experienced immigrants from international students. So what are the advantages of studying in Canada? Let's take a look.

1. Introduction to the advantages of Canadian immigrants studying abroad

The quality of education in Canada is world-class, equal to that in Britain and America.

The Canadian government attaches great importance to education investment. The annual expenditure on education in Canada is as high as 7. 1% of GDP. For some outstanding students, the school will provide scholarships and the government will provide loans to help students complete their studies.

Canadian universities occupy a leading position in the world in business, engineering and disciplines. Therefore, studying in Canada can guarantee students' studies and lay a good foundation for their future career development.

Only one third of the quota for "experienced immigrants" has been used:

In September 2008, Immigration Canada officially implemented "Canadian Experience Immigration". The implementation of this new immigration policy aims to make use of the new policy standards to facilitate international students to stay in Canada after graduation and make contributions to Canada's economic and social development.

According to the data provided by the Immigration Department, in the past year, the target set by the Immigration Department for "experienced immigrants" was 5,000-7,500, and only 2,000 applications were actually received, of which 806 were submitted by China students, accounting for 43% of the total number of applications.

The application rate of "experienced immigrants" is low, and the implementation of "experienced immigrants" has not achieved the expected results due to insufficient government publicity. Some international students and foreign workers don't even know that they are qualified to apply for "experienced immigrants"; Secondly, since the global financial turmoil, China students have encountered certain difficulties in finding jobs in Canada, and it is more attractive to return to China for development.

"Experienced migration" is easier than "skilled migration";

Faced with the brand-new immigration project of "experience immigration", the international students have different reactions, and some people apply for it at the first time with the positive attitude of "being the first to eat crabs". Some people are unwilling to take risks and choose to apply for more secure federal skilled immigrants. Overseas graduates who choose "experienced immigrants" will have more advantages than "skilled immigrants".

2. How much does it cost to study in Canada?

I. Tuition fees

College: The entrance threshold of college is low, the tuition is cheap, and the system is very flexible, so many international students choose to apply for college and start their own journey of studying in Canada. College tuition is about10.5 thousand Canadian dollars (about 80 thousand RMB) every year. In addition, international students also need to pay medical insurance and other fees, about 1500 Canadian dollars per year (that is, about 8000 RMB).

Second, the cost of accommodation

1. On-campus accommodation: Many schools will have their own student apartments on campus or near the school. Different schools and regions share different people and charge different fees. The average cost is about 2900-7400 Canadian dollars per academic year (i.e. 15000-39000 RMB).

2. Local host families: According to students' requirements, the school is responsible for arranging international students to live with local families near the school, and the fees vary according to the region and the number of people sharing. Two people share 600-800 Canadian dollars per month (that is, 3000-4500 RMB), and if one person lives, it is 900 Canadian dollars per month (that is, about 5000 RMB). Generally, all expenses will be included in the rent, and the telephone bill usually needs to be settled separately.

3. Renting a house off campus: Some students may choose to rent a house off campus with friends after getting familiar with the local situation or making some good friends. Due to the difference of housing area and quality, the rental fee will vary greatly. The average cost of shared accommodation in Canada is about 450- 1000 Canadian dollars per month (that is, 2500-5500 RMB), and the average rent of suites is about 800-8000 RMB per month. If a person rents a high-quality independent apartment, the rent is about 1700-2 100 Canadian dollars per month (that is, about 9000-1/000 RMB).

Three. Other living expenses

1. diet: students who live on campus can choose to eat on campus, and the daily meal fee is about 15 Canadian dollars (that is, about 80 RMB); Some host families will provide meals, with an average daily charge of about 30 Canadian dollars (that is, 160 RMB); If you rent a house off campus, you need to solve the food problem yourself, and the average daily cost is 15 Canadian dollars (that is, about 80 RMB). If you choose to cook by yourself, you will save money, and you will spend about 400 Canadian dollars a month on meals (that is, about 2 100 RMB).

2. Daily consumption: mainly including daily necessities, transportation, communication, entertainment, etc. This expenditure is flexible and changes with people's living habits and consumption levels. Some students only spend 100 Canadian dollars (about 500 RMB) every month, and some students may not spend 1000 Canadian dollars (about 5000 RMB) enough.

3. Transportation cost: In terms of transportation, the price of subway monthly ticket or bus monthly ticket is about 85 Canadian dollars (that is, about 450 RMB), but it is only a little more than 2 Canadian dollars at a time, and there will be some differences between cities.

First of all, in 2009, the average application time of "experienced immigrants" in Canada was only 5-6 months, and the refusal rate was only about 4, which was the lowest among all immigrant categories. In 2009, the average application time for skilled immigrants in Canada was about 12~ 14 months, among which the application time for "38 kinds of jobs in short supply" was about 6~ 12 months, with a high success rate. Those who do not belong to the "shortage of occupations" will even be delayed for five years, and the refusal rate is very high.

Secondly, "experienced immigrants" need not be restricted by the "38 jobs in short supply" of skilled immigrants, and the immigration opportunities of graduates from other majors are greatly increased. Canada's "experienced immigrants" do not have as many restrictions as skilled immigrants. Any job that meets noc (National Occupational Standards of Canada) categories O, A and B can be used to apply for "experience immigration". Moreover, the applicant only needs to have 12 months of work experience in the 24 months before the application, and part-time work is also eligible as long as there are enough working hours.

Finally, Canada's "experienced immigrants" do not rigidly stipulate that applicants' work must be related to their majors, while skilled immigrants have relevant requirements.

Perfect social security system and medical system;

Canada's unique "national networked medical database" has played a powerful role in supervising the sales of drug injections. Every Canadian (including international students, new immigrants, settlers, etc. ) has a unique medical card number. Any medical record can clearly find the time, place and responsible person, and cannot be altered or deleted, including the time and place of vaccination.

Canadian permanent residents can enjoy the universal public medical security system, and all hospitalization expenses are free except oral and ophthalmic treatment.

For every unemployed person who has worked continuously for more than 12 weeks (20 weeks for the first time), the government will pay unemployment benefits at 55% of the pre-tax salary for 30 weeks. For those who have no source of livelihood or are unable to work, the government pays nearly 500 Canadian dollars per month, unlimited time. At the same time, it provides free vocational skills training, so that you no longer worry about unemployment.

From the date of your pregnancy to the age of 18, you can receive the milk gold issued by the Canadian government every month.

Canada and the United States have reciprocal and relatively free entry and exit relations, which is conducive to the wide recognition of the academic qualifications obtained by international students in Canada by all countries in the world, especially the United States. This creates very favorable conditions for students to transfer to the United States or work in the United States in the future. Therefore, it is a good choice to study in Canada or immigrate to Canada.

Advantages of SPP plan:

Last July 16, the Canadian Embassy officially released the new policy of studying abroad, the SPP plan, and the conditions for studying in Canada were also adjusted with the implementation of the plan. The program is only for students who go to member colleges of the Canadian Association of Community Colleges to improve their study visas in Canada through special application channels. The purpose of this move is to attract more outstanding students from China to study in Canada.

The implementation of the SPP plan and the relaxation of the conditions for studying in Canada will set off a wave of studying in Canada. Students who attend this course will get a higher Canadian immigration score, which will provide favorable conditions for encouraging students to study in Canada. It will provide a favorable signal for high school students, junior college students, vocational high school students and undergraduates, as well as junior college students and undergraduates who are preparing to change their majors. It also means that the golden age of studying in Canada is coming soon.

The program is only designed for students who go to member colleges of the Canadian Association of Community Colleges, and visas can be improved through special application channels. The relaxation of the guarantee requirements will provide visa convenience for students who are currently considering studying abroad and have insufficient economic conditions to go to Canada for further study. The implementation of this plan and the relaxation of application conditions will set off a wave of studying in Canada, and students enrolled in this course will get higher immigration scores, which will provide favorable conditions for encouraging students to study and immigrate to Canada, and provide a favorable signal for students who failed in the college entrance examination, as well as junior college students, technical secondary school students, vocational high school students and undergraduates, as well as junior college students and undergraduates who are preparing to change their majors.

Canada's study visa requires less financial guarantee, and the requirement for guarantee money is greatly reduced. As long as IELTS reaches 5.5, the original bank history certificate of 12 months is not required. Applicants only need to pay tuition for one semester and deposit a fixed deposit of 5,000 Canadian dollars in the bank designated by the Canadian Embassy as a one-year living guarantee.
