1, scholarship

Speaking of welfare, many students will definitely think of scholarships first. Canadian universities do have scholarships, but undergraduate scholarships are not as many as master's, but it's no problem if you get better grades. In the master's degree, general science and engineering can get more scholarships. However, scholarships are awarded differently, some at the time of admission, and some for students who have good grades during the semester.

2. Medical insurance

In Canada, students are responsible for medical insurance everywhere, and many places will have medical insurance for students. As long as students pay a certain fee, the school will give them a unified purchase, which can generally reduce the cost by 40-50%.

If there is no such plan in some areas, students will have to buy it themselves. However, many schools are actually group planning. Students pay fees to the school and the school will purchase them in a unified way.

Step 3 migrate

Canada has always been tolerant of immigrants and friendly to international students. Generally, international students can apply for immigration as long as they work here for half a year. If you are a master or doctor, you don't even need to get a job offer to apply. In July 2020, Canada also revised the PEQ plan. PEQ refers to experienced immigrants. After the revision, students can get a maple leaf card from Canada soon after graduation. First of all, students need to have a college diploma, also need to provide French A2 and B2, and have at least 9 months of work experience.

1, telegraphic transfer

In contrast, telegraphic transfer is relatively fast, and it usually takes two days to arrive, but the handling fee is relatively high, with the lowest in 20 yuan 1000 yuan. In addition, telegraphic transfer also pays the telegram fee and deduction fee of foreign intermediary banks.

If you want to wire transfer, ask the school to provide the wire transfer address.

Step 2 draft

Bill remittance means that the bank draws a draft for the remitter, and then I take the draft abroad or mail it abroad.

There is no cable fee for remittance, and other charging items and standards are the same as telegraphic transfer.

Although the cost of remittance is relatively cheap, it is not as fast as telegraphic transfer, and remittance needs to go to the foreign outlets of the billing bank or the designated collection bank of the billing bank to understand the payment procedures.

T/T is used for large remittance, because once the bill is lost, it is relatively troublesome to report the loss, and the bill is valid for one year and will be returned to the original issuing bank after one year.

3. Credit card

Before children go abroad, they can apply for an international credit card at the local bank, and choose the form of the main card and the auxiliary card. The main card of the credit card is left with you, and the secondary card is taken away by the child.

In addition, you can enjoy an interest-free payment period of 20~50 days when you spend with a credit card, which is convenient for you and your children's capital turnover.

However, it should be reminded that it is not cost-effective to withdraw cash abroad with an international credit card. For example, the Great Wall International Card of China Bank will charge a handling fee of 3% of the withdrawal amount.
