Canada offers a high quality, affordable education that is recognized worldwide. Moreover, it provides a safe, secure, healthy, multicultural and welcoming environment for international students. All universities and colleges offer excellent academic programs and teaching. Moreover, services and advisors are available to help the foreign students adept themselves to living in Canada and to ensure that the time spent in Canada is enjoyable. In 1998, nearly 30,000 international students made Canadian universities their choice for preparing for a successful career.
SCHOLARSHIPS
There are limited scholarships available in Canada. The program guide/calendar of each university in Canada includes a complete and detailed list of the scholarships administered. This information is usually available on the school's web site as well. Generally, community and career colleges, school boards and most private schools do not award scholarships.
Although scholarships to international students are available at some Canadian institutions for students with exceptional skills and academic achievement, but they rarely cover the full cost of a program and are not always easy to find. The amount awarded varies from one institution to another and usually covers only partial education and living expenses.
The Commonwealth scholarship is one source of funding for Canadian Universities at the post-graduate level, but it is restricted to a very limited number of students of exceedingly high intellectual promise who live in Commonwealth countries.
