With closing options in US, Canada is the new best bet

With the US closing its doors on immigrants, irrespective of whether they are workers or students, and the growing intolerance that is being shown towards ‘foreigners’ and ‘illegal immigrants’ in recent times, more and more students are now looking to Canada as the next best bet for their dreams and hopes. There is also the added benefit that the cost of studying in Canada is up to 40 percent cheaper than the US and that they receive the same level of respect and recognition as a degree from the US.

While numbers of enrollments US Colleges and schools has been dropping in recent times, the previous years has shown a marked increase in the number of enrollments and the government is hard pressed to increase the issuing of new study permits as the numbers are rising so rapidly. With the Trump administration making sure that the H1-B visa is suddenly out of reach for many, has ensured that the OPT or the optional practical training programs have been affected negatively. Therefore those students looking to leave their home country to study in and then settle into a new country are looking beyond America for opportunities.

With the Canadian government bringing in new changes to ease the immigration of skilled workers into the country, there is hope for those youngsters and others who seek to study in the best of the universities in the world and then to make a home in these countries. The number of Indian applying for immigration has increased rapidly making it clear that this is now the new preferred destination. The government is also making it easier for family members to now be reunited, so if one has already got family with citizenship or permanent residence, then the journey shall be that much smoother.
