Studying in Canada isn’t just about world-class education—it’s about living a truly global experience. With more than 600,000 international students calling it their second home, Canada has built a reputation as one of the most welcoming and student-friendly countries in the world.
Diversity & Multicultural Society
Canada is often described as a mosaic of cultures. From Toronto to Vancouver, you’ll meet students from India, China, Nigeria, France, the Middle East, and beyond. This multicultural environment means you’ll always find familiar faces, Indian restaurants serving hot samosas, and festivals that remind you of home—while also getting to experience new cultures and perspectives.
Campus Life
Canadian universities and colleges don’t just focus on academics; they ensure you build friendships and networks for life. Most campuses have:
- Student clubs & associations (from coding clubs to dance societies).
- Sports & recreation facilities (ice hockey, football, basketball, yoga).
- Events & fests where students can showcase talents and bond.
This active student life ensures you balance academics with fun, learning, and leadership opportunities.
Lifestyle
- Safety: Canada consistently ranks among the safest countries in the world.
- Healthcare: Students often have access to affordable health insurance through their university or province.
- Public Transport: Whether it’s subways in Toronto, SkyTrain in Vancouver, or buses in Montreal, student passes make travel easy and budget-friendly.
- Part-Time Work: Students can work 20 hours/week during semesters and full-time during breaks, helping cover living expenses while gaining valuable experience.
Weather & Adaptation Tips

Pro tips for Indian students
