FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
FOR
STUDYING
OVERSEAS
1. Why
choose to study in Canada?
Canada is one of the few
countries whose educational systems are thoroughly
comprehensive, thereby providing the highest levels of
education. Accordingly, by studying in Canada, students
are guaranteed to receive an excellent education. Such
standards of education will provide an excellent base
for future careers. As well, Canadian educational
standards are widely accepted by most countries in the
world, including the United States. This will benefit
those students who wish to transfer to an educational
institute in the United States or who want to work in
the United States in the future.
In addition, according to the
Canadian Immigration Act, once students have obtained a
Canadian education certificate, they are allowed to work
in Canada for one year before applying for Canadian
immigrant status to acquire a permanent resident status.
This condition is not possible in many other countries.
2. What are the basic conditions for
studying in Canada?
Students must be over 18 years of age
and should be studying in their final year of high
school. Students should be able to demonstrate good
academic achievement. Students must have proof of having
enough financial support for studying overseas.
3. Can students apply if they are under 18
years of age?
Generally speaking, with this situation it
is very difficult to acquire a visa.
4. What is required of the family in
the way of financial support?
Generally, the parents must show proof that
their savings are over U.S.$60,000.
5. Is it all right if I can provide
only the certificate of bank savings?
No. This would not be acceptable.
Parents must provide corresponding documents to certify
that their savings are legally earned by themselves, for
example, they should provide a certificate or provide a
certificate letter issued by their employer, or the
company account statements, etc.
6. My parents do not have a lot of
savings, however, they do own many house properties.
Would this be acceptable?
Yes, however their savings should not
be below USD ($) 24,000-36,000. They should be able to
have proof of having at least this amount.
7. My parents do not have much in the
way of savings, however I do have relatives overseas who
can support me financially. Would this be acceptable?
Yes, but you should be careful while
preparing application documents. Be sure to assure the
immigration officer that you are coming to Canada to
study and are not intending to immigrate.
8. Do I have to take the
TOEFL test
if my knowledge of English is not good?
If you are coming to study college
courses or preparation courses for universities, there
is no request for English levels. Upon arrival, you will
need to immediately improve your English should it not
be good enough. You must do this before starting the
formal courses. Should you be coming to Canada to study
for a degree, usually, you are asked to take a TOEFL
test. However, some bachelor courses in universities are
exempt from the TOEFL test.
