Ample numbers of collaborative degree and master’s programmes offering hands-on learning combined with a more theoretical approach make Canada one of the best destinations to pursue tertiary education overseas. The Canadian institutions offer tailored programmes, and these courses may differ from campus to campus, but the ultimate goal is to provide service and support to ensure the success of the students. 

Another reason that makes Canada a dream destination for master’s education is that some of the Indian and international students who have graduated from a Canadian institution are allowed to apply for permanent residency without moving out of the country. Also, it’s a fact that over 90% of students who graduate from Canadian institutions get employed in their field of study within 6 months after graduation, which is why studying in Canada is said to be an all-encompassing experience.
