Indian students are an ambitious and talented bunch. More than 750,000 people from the subcontinent studied abroad in 2018-2019, according to ICEF Monitor reports. Many of them see a university education abroad as a gateway to personal growth and international employability. In fact, it’s such a big opportunity that up to 91 percent of students still plan to find a way to study abroad, despite the Covid-19 pandemic.
It is a wonderful feeling when your dreams come true, but what gives greater joy is when you get to share your journey and story with others. We at Pearson, not only believe in paving a way for the students to successfully apply for a study abroad visa through Pearson PTE but also to help them learn, engage and grow.
If you wish to attain a foreign education, it is natural for you to be feeling unclear about your future course of action. However, there is no reason for you to feel disheartened, especially if you had planned to study in Canada.

Australia has always been one of the most favoured educational destinations for international students, and the support presented by Australia towards its international students has been incredibly impressive. This is reflected in the fact that the government of Australia assigns over $300 million (source: studyinAustralia.gov) for international students coming to pursue their higher education at Australian universities.
The United Kingdom is undoubtedly one of the most popular destinations for higher studies, with more than 500K students enrolling every year. Indian students have shown a preference towards the UK and the number of Indian students went up by 93% in 2019, with as many as 37,500 Indian students receiving their study visa (source: gov.uk). The country is known for its diverse culture and welcomes a diverse group of students, making it an excellent choice for international students, looking to learn in an enriching environment.
One of the most significant considerations for any student while picking an international learning destination is the possibility and scope of attaining employment in the country. Often, when students head to a foreign country for higher education, they wish to gain some work experience, and this is why they prefer to go for options that allow them to extend their stay after completing their degree and take up employment. This is one of the reasons why Canada is a favoured learning destination for students all over the world. It welcomed over 642,000 international students last year. Indian students have also shown an increasing preference for Canada as a learning destination. In 2019, Canada approved over 4 lakh study permits of which 1.39 lakh or 34.5% went to Indian students (source: TimesOfIndia)
