Is it better to study abroad in Canada or Australia?

Is it better to study abroad in Canada or Australia? This question troubles many students and parents. Canada and Australia are now competing for studying abroad. Many new policies have been formulated for studying abroad, which has brought convenience to many international students. However, because of this, they don’t know how to choose. Let’s compare various aspects of studying in Canada and Australia to decide which country you want to go to.

Is it better to study abroad in Canada or Australia?

School resources

There are more than 200 universities and colleges in Canada, including nearly 100 public universities. Moreover, in the 2016 CWUR World University Rankings, more than 60 Canadian universities were shortlisted, and 21 Canadian universities were shortlisted in the world's top 500, which is a great affirmation of the education of the "Maple Leaf Country". It should be pointed out that Canada's vocational colleges (junior colleges) are similar to Australia's TAFE. Students who study vocational courses at vocational colleges can also obtain work visas and immigration opportunities.

As for Australia, as we all know, there are only 42 universities and some TAFE colleges in Australia. As Australia is a Commonwealth country, international students who graduate from Australia tend to go to the UK.

Study abroad expenses

The cost of studying for an undergraduate or master's degree at a prestigious university in Australia is 300,000 RMB per year, while in Canada it is around 250,000 RMB per year, including living expenses and tuition fees.

visa

According to the current policy, it is very difficult to get a visa to study for a diploma in Australia. In comparison, Canada is very expensive. As long as you have sufficient financial resources and an IELTS score, you can get a visa and eventually a work visa. If you choose to study for a diploma, you must choose Canada.

As for visas for the two countries, Australia has relaxed the visa requirements for undergraduate and master's studies. Financial guarantees and deposits are no longer required. More importantly, there is no IELTS requirement. You can participate in the school's internal test and then take the accompanying language courses. But in this regard, Canada is still quite strict. Unless you have an IELTS score of 6.0 or your financial situation is good, your chances of getting a visa are relatively high.

Employment

In fact, the employment rates in both countries are not too low. But as long as students have a good command of English and spoken English, are flexible and willing to work hard, it will be no problem for them to find a job to support themselves. From a policy perspective, students who study in Canada and Australia can now obtain a work visa for 1 to 3 years, which can create more opportunities for international students to stay and find jobs.

migrant

Both countries support independent skilled immigration or employer-sponsored immigration. If you cannot get 4 scores of 7 or 4 scores of 6 in IELTS, Canada has a better advantage than Australia if you rely on employment to immigrate.

The above is an introduction to whether it is better to study in Canada or Australia. Through the above introduction, we can understand that these two countries each have their own advantages, so students can make comprehensive considerations based on their actual situation.
