Why study in Canada?

Canada is one of the most popular study destinations for Nepali students thanks to its affordable tuition, high quality of life, and the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) programme.

After completing a programme of 8 months or more, graduates can apply for a PGWP — an open work permit valid for up to 3 years. This work experience can also count towards permanent residency through Express Entry.
