Canada has been declared the country with the best reputation in the world for the third consecutive year. The globe’s second-biggest country is rated as one of the highest quality language education destinations in the world.

Canada’s diversity is an extraordinary asset in today’s global marketplace, not only because of its exceptional cultural understanding but also because of the multilingual nature of its citizens. Canada has a reputation as a premiere language-training destination with more than one billion Canadians speaking English while 250 million speaking French. International students improve personal and business fluency through access to unparalleled “English as a Second Language” and “French as a Second Language” programs. Despite the high education standards, the cost is comparatively affordable, particularly compared to the U.S. and U.K.

Canada has four distinct seasons, and can get pretty chilly during the winter months. Planning for extreme cold is the key to enduring a Canadian winter: pay attention to weather forecasts and note that good winter clothing is not optional. Like the Canadians say: “There is no bad weather, only bad clothing.”

Health insurance is mandatory in Canada, and should be arranged prior to arrival. Your academic institution likely includes health insurance coverage in tuition fees, but check first with one of student agent to be sure.
