Why don’t Indian students want to study in Canada? These two reasons came to light in the survey

Why students are leaving Canada: Canada has been very popular among Indians due to its excellent education system, good career opportunities and job options after studies. After the Covid pandemic, a large number of Indian students went to Canada to study. Not only India, Canada has attracted students from all over the world through the options it offers. Canadian universities are known for their diverse campuses and excellent academic courses.
Indian students are the largest group of foreign students coming to Canada. The reason for this is that its immigration policy and good environment make Canada one of the best places to study for students. Maximum number of children from the states of Punjab and Haryana have gone to Canada to study. However, the situation is changing and recent trends show that Canada is not as popular among children thinking of studying abroad as it used to be.

Big revelation about Canada in the survey

In fact, recently an IDP education survey was conducted, in which responses were taken from 6000 students from all over the world. Through this survey, it was revealed that the preferences of students coming from the top 10 countries of the world have started changing. 1346 Indian students also responded to the survey. Students from China and Philippines were also asked questions during the survey and their answers were recorded. This change is indicating that the preferences of students around the world for studies are changing, even in countries like Canada.

The survey results show that students are now thinking again about going to countries like Canada. Canada was once a favorite destination for foreign students to study. Due to delays in getting visas, strict immigration policies and the need to pay more for study permits, students are now becoming disillusioned with countries like Canada and Australia. America and Germany are becoming more popular among students for studying abroad. Let us know what is the reason for disillusionment with Canada.

Why don’t Indian students want to study in Canada?

Visa Challenges and Changes in Policies: The biggest reason for disillusionment with Canada is the change in visa rules made to reduce the number of foreign students here. It is taking a lot of time to get visa and study permit, due to which students are worried about their future. Earlier the response on visa would be received within weeks, but now one has to wait for months. The requirement of having money in the account to obtain a study permit has also been increased.

Students must have at least 14,945 Canadian dollars in their account for their first year, excluding tuition fees, to qualify for a study permit. On the contrary, visa rules have been relaxed in countries like America. The option of studying after job is also quite good. In Germany also, tuition fees are less and student visa is much easier to get. Because of this, these countries are becoming popular among students who want to easily get a work permit.

Increasing cost of education: The survey results show that the biggest challenges for students are tuition fees, rising cost of living and the cost of visa applications. A large number of students have postponed planning to study abroad due to rising expenses. Recent policy changes in Canada have created more obstacles, which is why students are thinking more before coming here.

Along with the cost of education, the cost of living has also increased in Canada. Before studying in Canada, students have to check their bank balance so that they can afford the expenses of studying here. Because of this, they now want to study in countries like Germany instead of Canada, where they can study at low or no tuition fees. In America also, there is an option to study at less money.
