How challenging can it be at universities?

Starting university can be a thrilling yet challenging journey, particularly for international students who face unique difficulties that often lead to higher dropout rates. As the Statistics Canada ‘2011 Youth in Transition Survey’ (YITS) reported, first-year university students face a dropout rate of 14 percent, rising to 16 percent for all undergraduate students. Unfortunately, these statistics do not reflect an accurate overall picture. The reality is that the dropout rate is much higher. It is almost impossible to track, so no current data is available.

  Advantages of receiving education in Canada

Canadian universities are renowned for providing world-class education. Institutions like the University of Toronto, the University of British Columbia, and McGill University are ranked 18th, 34th, and 42nd globally by the 2020 Times Higher Education World University Rankings.


In addition to their high academic standards, Canadian universities offer reasonable admission requirements and tuition fees, making it easier for international students to pursue their studies in Canada. The Canadian government has also recently taken steps to welcome more international students, increasing the likelihood of admission to a top school. 


Aside from the world-class Universities, Canada also provides a wide variety of college-level education from professional skills development diplomas and certifications, English Language studies, and post-graduate certificates to master degree programs. Canada encourages and welcomes high school-level students as well. At MSSI, given the right opportunity and educational planning, we recommend that International students receive at least two years of domestic high school education before entering university. It acclimates the students to the Canadian educational system, exponentially increasing the successful completion of higher education. 


One of the most significant benefits of studying in Canada is that after completing their university or college degrees, international students can apply for a work permit, a pathway to permanent residency, up to and including becoming a Canadian Citizen, opening countless opportunities for a bright future, not to mention access free healthcare, which can significantly reduce the overall living expenses. Compared to English-speaking countries such as the USA, the UK, and Australia, Canada stands out with its unique advantages and opportunities. 


At MSSI, Canada is the perfect place for international students to reach their full potential. We are committed to providing the guidance and support needed to help you open the door to your bright future in Canada.
