Is Canada Right for You?
The clearest route from study to permanent residency. Here is what to weigh up before you commit.
Academic Fit
What the education system expects of you
Consistently high standards across Designated Learning Institutions. Undergraduate applicants need a Provincial Attestation Letter.
Financial Planning
What you must be able to evidence
Proof of funds rose to CA $23,448 for living costs on 1 September 2026, on top of tuition. A GIC is one accepted way to show this — it is not mandatory, since the Student Direct Stream closed in November 2024.
Career Prospects
What happens after you graduate
The Post-Graduation Work Permit gives up to 3 years, and Express Entry provides a well-trodden path to permanent residency.
Cultural Fit
What daily life actually feels like
Welcoming, inclusive and diverse. The winters are genuinely severe and worth planning for.
Financial requirements are the amounts immigration asks you to evidence, current as of September 2026. Several changed during the year — confirm the figure for your intake before you transfer funds.
