Study in Canada- Courses, eligibility, fees, Universities
Country-Specific Loans | Updated
In recent decades Canada has emerged as a popular choice for international students wishing to study abroad. The reason is simple, Canada not just offers world-class universities with high standards of research and teaching but plenty of job opportunities to its graduates. Canada is also less expensive compared to its neighbor the US, be it tuition fees or living expenses.
Despite Canada being the less expensive option, but by no means is Canada any affordable for the majority of the students. On average, a two-year master's program from Canada could cost around 20-30 lakhs (Cost varies depending on where one chooses to study). It is best for such students to opt for education loans to finance their studies in Canada.
