Canada is the most preferred and sought after study destination among Indian students. No doubt, there are some good institutions in India offering qualitative education like IITs, IIMs, etc. but the student count has outlasted the institutional count and that too with an unmanageable number. Looking into the scenario of tertiary education, the theory practice is incapable of making students ready to opt for an actual job. These reasons have prompted students to look out for options at international level. Among various international study destinations, Canada offers most affordable, qualitative and globally recognized qualifications.
