Canada becoming the first choice of students from Nepal, What is the cost of studying?
Canada is now becoming the priority for students going abroad to study higher education. After the corona epidemic, Canada has become popular among Nepali students with the introduction of various policies for foreign students.
Surendra Baral, director of Mirai International Educational Consultancy, Pokhara, says that the young generation is attracted to Canada because apart from the study, students also get employment opportunities. According to Mr Baral, good services are available in Canada for international students. Study fees and tuition fees are also cheaper compared to other countries.
Mr Baral believes that Canada has become an excellent educational destination for Nepali people as they can get reasonable educational fees and scholarship facilities according to their qualifications.
Canada has excellent universities. Recently, Canada has succeeded in becoming a favourite of Nepali students because they can get quick work permission along with their studies and there is a higher chance of getting a PR after completing their studies. Now the number of Nepalese students going to Canada is increasing significantly.
Known as a reliable means for obtaining a student visa, Mirai has been providing services for a long time. Mirai has been providing services from Pokhara, Chipledhunga as its main office, having branches in Kathmandu and Baglung as well.
This consultancy not only provides documentation, and visa guidance but also prepare students for IELTS, and PTE exam, who wish to go to Canada on a study visa according to the founder Mr Surendra Baral.
What scores do you need?
A score of at least band 6.5 and not less than band 6 in each module of IELTS or at least 58 and not less than 55 in each module of the PTE exam is required to study at the diploma and graduate level in various community colleges and universities in Canada. Students who have obtained the said marks can apply for courses including diplomas, bachelor’s and master’s for the year 2023 intake.
There is also confusion in the market among the students about whether a visa will be given to study for a diploma or not. And it is also heard that it costs a lot to study for a master’s degree. However, Mr Baral says that all these are baseless rumours.
Students who have completed a certain level of study in Nepal and are working or have a gap can also apply for a Canadian study visa. It is not difficult to get a Canadian visa if all the documents are properly arranged and the process is completed. To go to Canada, it is necessary to get a good score on the language test. There should be no gap during the study.
How much does it cost?
If you pay one year’s tuition fee in advance and prepare the necessary documents properly, you can get a visa for Canada easily. The cost of going to Canada varies according to the course chosen by the student at the university or college. Generally, it costs around 18 to 22 lakhs to study in Canada.
How much work can be done in a week?
After studying in Canada, students are allowed to work full-time under the Post-Graduation Work Permit. Similarly, it has been arranged that students who are studying can work for 20 hours per week in normal conditions and 40 hours during holidays.
Easy to get PR
Canada can be a good destination for those who want to live abroad permanently. PR can be obtained within three to five years of going there. Canada has become a centre of attraction for Nepali students due to the favourable climate for living and work opportunities that can be found along with studies. Not only this, excellent education at an affordable cost, appropriate scholarships and cheap tuition fees are also reasons to choose Canada.
It is important to take proper advice
Recently, many consultancies have been seen in the market that sends students to Canada, but not all of them give the right advice, so it is important to understand all the procedures and seek the advice of reliable and experienced consultants to prevent any student from being deceived.
