Third, the advantages of Canadian art study abroad
1. There is a great possibility of emigration.
Students who want to study in Canada should know that Canada's immigration policy is relatively loose, and for master's degree students, Canada has even opened a green channel: after graduating from graduate school in Canada, students can get an unconditional work visa for three years, and after three years of work for one year, they can get PR, which is what we call Maple Leaf Certificate, which is equivalent to the American green card and enjoys permanent residency.
In addition, for international students, Canada has also set up GIC program. As long as you pass IELTS 6 and deposit 1W in a Canadian bank, you can get the relevant visa. After that, you don't have to submit documents such as family economic proof, which is very convenient.
2. Low cost
Canada attaches great importance to education. Canadian institutions are all public institutions, so tuition fees will save a lot of money for everyone. Take Nova University of Design and Art (hereinafter referred to as NSCAD) as an example. The tuition fee per semester is about 7,000-9,000 Canadian dollars, which is about 3.5 W-4.5 W for people. Vancouver will be a little more expensive, and the tuition fee for one year will be about 10W.
Except Toronto and Vancouver, the living and consumption conditions in other countries in Canada are similar. In downtown Halifax, the rent for two rooms and one living room is around 5,000 yuan/month, which is much cheaper than that in Beijing.
