Study Abroad: Why Canada is so famous among international students

India TV News  

Canada is renowned for its finest education systems in the world and its universities consistently rank among the best in the world. How to get Admission to Universities in Canada In Canada, the university admissions process typically commences well in advance of the academic intake, allowing students to apply up to a year before their program's start date. Matthew informed that the admission process in universities in Canada typically commences well in advance of the academic intake, allowing students to apply up to a year before their programme's start date. Unlike Indian universities with a single intake, Canadian institutions offer three intakes: Fall, Winter, and Summer, with the Fall intake in September being most popular among Indian students. Admission in Universities in Canada: Eligibility Criteria According to Matthew, the eligibility criteria vary based on the chosen course; for diploma or certificate programs, IELTS scores may be flexible, while pursuing a Master's degree often requires up to 3 years of work experience, a minimum GMAT score, IELTS scores, and a four-year bachelor's degree.
