Canada is highly favored and is a popular destination for many families to choose to immigrate and study abroad. The country not only has excellent education level, but also has a superior living environment and its welfare benefits rank among the developed countries. In order to maximize the education benefits of their children, many families have applied for Canadian maple leaf cards for their children in advance to strive for permanent residence. This allows children to receive education as native Canadian students. So, what are the advantages of doing this?

Maple Leaf Card can save up to millions

There are differences in the fees charged by Canadian universities for domestic students and foreign students. Students holding maple leaf cards can enjoy the same treatment as local students. The most direct reflection of this treatment is economic savings, and the amount of savings is considerable. In September 2021, Statistics Canada released a report detailing the average tuition fees for local and foreign students in provinces and disciplines in 2020-2021: for undergraduates, tuition fees for international students are $32,019, while for graduate students, that number is $19,252. The fees for local students are as follows: Undergraduate students will be charged $6,580 and graduate students will be charged $7,304.

Ontario tuition is top in Canada: undergraduates pay $40,724, and graduate students at $25,112, followed by British Columbia, Alberta and Quebec. If you study in Canada without a maple leaf card, the expense will be huge. However, students holding maple leaf cards can save a lot of money in scholarships, benefits, and government interest-free loans.

High admission rate for prestigious schools, free choice of majors

The strength of Chinese students cannot be ignored, but they have suffered repeated setbacks on the international stage. What is the reason? It turns out that the number of international students recruited by the world's top institutions every year is extremely limited. Taking the Ivy League schools as an example, the average admission rate of international students is even less than one-tenth of the total number of admissions, and the corresponding proportion of ordinary colleges is roughly between 5% and 10%. Due to the sparse quotas, students from all over the world are competing for admission, which shows how difficult it is to admit it. If your children hold a Canadian maple leaf card, they can be called an authentic "local resident" and do not need to participate in the competition for "international students" quota, thereby significantly increasing the chance of admission to prestigious schools.

Parents are not allowed to accompany their studies

The quality of schools at home and abroad is different, some are excellent, while others are not satisfactory. Therefore, many parents hope that their children can go abroad as soon as possible, receive authentic international education, and improve their English proficiency and thinking style so that they can be at ease in international courses in the future. However, if parents cannot accompany their children in person and lack effective supervision, this effort may go against their expectations and the results will be greatly reduced. Therefore, if the maple leaf card is planned in advance, parents can legally accompany their children for a long time and provide solid guarantees for their growth and education. In this way, children are no longer subject to their status, and they can choose freely whether they are public or private schools. In addition, tuition fees may also be exempted or reduced, which is really a win-win situation.

Don't worry about finding a job, there are many opportunities

It is really not easy to find a job after graduation by studying in Canada alone. In order to maintain the employment rate of the country, the Ministry of Labor has imposed numerous restrictions on hiring foreigners, even if international students have many advantages. Once you get the maple leaf card, you can get rid of many troubles and choose the job you like as you wish, with more opportunities. In addition, you can choose to return to China to develop and accumulate several years of Canadian work experience, so that the starting point after returning to China will be higher, the competitiveness will be stronger, and the future will be broader.

Lower medical costs and better benefits

Every year, news comes that overseas students have lost their wealth due to medical problems, which is not an exaggeration. Without medical insurance, the high cost of medical care is simply incredible! If you study abroad alone, students can only deal with medical risks by purchasing commercial insurance or taking into account the costs at their own expenses. However, once you obtain a maple leaf card, Canadian social medical insurance will cover the medical expenses, and international students can enjoy the same benefits as local residents.

Have you considered whether it is more appropriate to let your child study directly in Canada, or is it more appropriate to obtain a local identity first and then study as a local student?
