Is it difficult to study and live in Canada?
Studying and living in Canada is the dream of many students. However, not everyone understands the necessary requirements if an international student wants to study here. Studying and living in Canada will not be difficult if the candidates meet the following requirements. Let’s join Le Immigration Group to find out what those requirements are!
There are requirements for international students if they want to immigrate to Canada.
Conditions for studying abroad.
If you want to come to a certain country to study abroad, the first thing is to successfully get a visa. You need to carefully prepare a completed set of documents to apply for a visa. Remember, cheating in the application process is not only rejected by the board, but can also lead to a visa ban for many years.
In addition, it should be noted that the conditions for immigrating to Canada under the study abroad program will be different from time to time, which will depend on the number of submitted applications for visas. If there are too many people applying for a Canadian Visa, the processing may take up to 2 – 3 months. If the visa is delayed later than the admission time announced by the school, you should actively contact the school administrator to inform them of the application status, and apply for an extension of the admission date. In addition, do not be passive in waiting for the results of your visa application; you also need to contact the Canadian Embassy to ask about your application status.
If you find it too difficult to prepare documents and or wait for the visa result, you can also go through a number of reputable Canadian immigration consulting offices to be assisted in all these stages, and help you find out the easiest way to immigrate to Canada.
Meet the benchmarks
To be able to immigrate to Canada and study here, you need to prove that you have a good academic record, especially when you have to study in an international environment. In terms of studying in Canada, the academic Grade Point Average (GPA) – that is, the final grade point average over the years of study – is essential:
- For high school: academic results in the last 2 years must be 6.0 or higher.
- College level: GPA in the last 3 years is 6.0 or higher; for some compulsory subjects, specific points will be considered in subjects such as Mathematics, Physics, Foreign Languages, etc.
- Undergraduate: GPA in the last 3 years is 6.5 or higher.
- Master’s degree: Graduated from a university with an average grade or higher. Some schools will require 1-2 years of experience, some schools do not.
Above are the average score requirements for schools in Canada. However, there are schools and subjects in the top rankings that will require higher scores.
For some students who come to Canada to study in English, they will require TOEFL and IELTS certificates, specifically:
- Secondary level: No English certificates are required.
- College level: IELTS 6.0–6.5 or higher, TOEFL 71 or higher.
- Undergraduate level: IELTS 6.5–7.0 or higher, TOEFL 79 or higher.
- Master level: IELTS 6.5–7.0 or higher, TOEFL 79 or higher. Some schools will require more GMAT/GRE, experience, letters of recommendation, scientific research articles published in specialized journals, etc.
It can be seen that studying and settling in Canada is not too difficult, but it is not easy either. If you have fully and clearly mastered the necessary information for the conditions to study in Canada and make your own plan, the above conditions will be as easy as turning your hand.
