Studying in Canada - a step-by-step example of moving
Why should I study in Canada? I will tell you the example of our client.
Shamil contacted us last year about studying at a college in Toronto. To get in without taking IELTS, he needed to raise his English level, which he did by taking an online course at a Canadian language school. I can't say it was easy, because he was combining his studies with his work.
In parallel, my wife, Ivanna, who is an immigration counselor, prepared the paperwork for the student visa, and it was successfully obtained last summer. We all met together before the start of school on the college campus, and Shamil gave an interview about his adventures. There is definitely something to learn there. I didn't publish this interview right away, I decided to wait until our hero finished his studies.
Shamil studied in the sought-after project management program, which lasts one year. During his studies, the guy could legally work up to 20 hours a week, which he took advantage of. As far as I know, he worked as a food delivery guy. The school year flew by quickly, Shamil got his degree from a Canadian college and improved his English significantly. Next, Ivanna applied for a one-year Post-Graduation Work Permit and Shamil found a full-time job.
The story isn't over yet, but I'm sure that after gaining work experience, the guy will qualify for some kind of immigration program and get a permanent residence in Canada.
You have the opportunity to follow in his footsteps, but there are better deals waiting for you. In fact, Shamil's college is offering a great deal to our clients who want to start their studies in the winter or spring of 2023: 12 weeks of free English and a $5,000 CAD scholarship per year — so instead of $16,000-$17,000 CAD per year, you will pay $11,000-$12,000 CAD per student. There are both one-year and two-year programs. The two-year programs are even better, by the way, because you can get a work permit for three years instead of one.
