If you are one of those students who always dream of studying abroad, then you must have definitely thought of two countries none other than Canada and the United States of America. And that is completely understandable since these two countries not only offer high quality education but there is much more. From experiencing a completely different life, you get to explore career options in these two countries.

But, the internal battle continues whether to go for Canada or United States. Beyond any doubt, the universities in both Canada and US are the world’s leading educational and research institutions. The University of Toronto reports that they experienced a 20 per cent increase in university applications in the last year. The other two leading universities namely Wilfrid Laurier University and McMaster University also report a considerable surge in university applications from international students.

The choice you make to whether Study in Canada or the US shouldn’t only depend on your university but you should consider other factors as well. What are those factors? Well, this is what this blog is all about.

Here we will present a comparison where we think Canada is a better option, but the choice is always yours.

1. U.S Visa Policy

Not only the visa policy of Canada is simpler and shorter, it allows the students to stay in the country for as long as they want. However, on the contrary, the Department of Homeland Security in the United States of America asks students to reapply for visa every year while they are studying in the country.

Moreover, the initial visa application process for the United States of America is more complicated, involves a lot of scrutiny and waiting which is always troublesome.

2. Low cost in Canada

The country of Canada is a lot better than the US when it comes to financial aspects. Not only Canadian universities are more likely to offer you academic and accommodation scholarships. In States, it is very rare for international students to get scholarships in top notch universities.

In addition to academic aid, the cost of living in Canada is also much lesser than that of United States of America. From travelling to accommodation, everything is affordable and that’s one of the reasons a considerable number of international students don’t choose to Study in United States.

3. Employment opportunities in Canada

As per what Canadian International Education bureau says, more than half number of international students in Canada look to get permanent residence in the country. All international students in Canada are allowed to work for maximum three years on a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP), and then they can find a permanent job placement which leads to permanent residence. Once you get that, it is really easy to get citizenship.

This is not the case in the United States of America where international students are not allowed to work until or unless they are sponsored.

What do you think of both the countries now? Is it Canada or the United States where you will be going to for your higher education? No matter where you go, we hope everything goes in your favor.
