Affordable Education

The quality of education and living standards in Canada are
amongst the highest in the world, but the cost of living and
tuition fees for international students are generally lower than
in other countries such as the United States and the United
Kingdom. As such, Canada is often the preferred choice for
students attending college or university.

Multicultural Society

Canada, it's hard not to find ethnic foods and recreation
activities associated with specific cultures. In fact, your
international student advisor can help you get in touch with any
number of ethnic clubs and associations for you to join while
you're here.
