CANADA A WIZARD IN EDUCATION



Canadian Universities play host to more than 180,000 International students in any given year. Increasingly, Canada is becoming the country of choice for students from all parts of the world.

A Degree/Diploma from a Canada University is recognized worldwide. International students who graduate from colleges in Canada enjoy successful and prosperous careers. Education in Canada is known for its quality education & competitive entry requirements.

Canada colleges, charge lower tuition fees for international students than their counterparts in competing countries and at the same time, maintain excellent educational quality. However as the fees are more affordable, admissions are more competitive. Over the last three years, Canada's inflation rate has remained one of the lowest in the industrialized world. Some of the popular courses in Canada are business, hospitality, biotechnology and engineering in Canada.

International students are expected to start planning for their studies in Canada Universities 8-12 months in advance. The major intake for Canada primarily is 'fall' i.e. September but a lot of popular courses in Canada are available in Jan (winter) or May (summer) intake. 

Every step is taken to ensure the safety of students on Canada's University campuses. Most Canadian Universities / Colleges have their own campus security 24 hours a day. There are also “Walk Safe" programmes to assist people in getting to public transportation during late hours.

Canada Universities encourages International Students to stay back after their studies. The new Work Permit Program states that International students who have studied for 2 years can obtain an Open Work Permit with no restrictions on the type of employment and no requirements of a Job offer for 3 years. Students who study a one year program are eligible for a one year Work Permit.

My name is Sapna Singh and I had utilized the services of Edwise to pursue my Post Graduate studies abroad. As I entered their office I was not sure what I wanted to do exactly. Since the first time they introduced me to the counselor, guiding me each step of the way, till the very end. Starting from suggesting the courses, short listing the country and finalizing the universities/colleges, she was an excellent guide. Another best feature of Edwise is that you can take coaching classes and register for IELTS or TOEFL from there itself. It helps a lot when all the facilities are provided under one roof. I am more than happy with the services provided there. The promptness of everyone and the helpful nature made the experience with them unforgettable .Thanks a lot for everything! Says sapna Singh from Humber College, Canada.

We encourage students to come for counseling to our experienced counselors and also encourage them to meet University Canada representatives and get more information. We help students right from short listing the best suited universities to applications to Visas.

You’ll do your MBA once, Make It Count!


A degree in masters in business administration (MBA) has become one of the most treaded paths for students as well as working professionals as it provides ideal platform for a career boost. Despite the economic slowdown, an MBA continues to remain a coveted degree among aspirants


Ideally, two primary reasons why one would pursue an MBA are career change and career augmentation. However, there are mainly three types of program available to choose from: Full time MBA, Part time MBA and Online MBA. And often a valid question is posed by aspirants, “Which MBA program is suitable out of the three?”


            The answer to this question can be from different perspectives.  Let’s take a closer look: each one of the program types puts different weights on the amount of each part of the MBA. So your decision should be based on the reason you chose an MBA.

            
           A full time MBA program will probably give you equal parts education and networking. A part time MBA program will give you more education than networking. An online mba program will give you even more education than networking than the part time MBA program.

         
        Ultimately it comes down to whom you know and how well you perform when the opportunity is presented to you. Ideally, it is always preferable to opt for a full time MBA program, unless and until you are a working professional.

               
        On the other hand, a part time MBA from a university abroad could be a better choice as you will have a globally recognized degree but provided you have a sound financial backing. Though some education destinations abroad such as Malaysia, Mba in New Zealand, among others are not that expensive but the degree is globally recognized.
