Yes, considering Canada and European countries as backup options for your master's studies is a smart approach. Both regions offer strong academic programs, diverse specializations, and favorable post-study work visa (PSW) opportunities.
- Canada: Known for high-quality universities and a typical post-graduation work permit (PGWP) of up to 3 years.
- Europe: Countries like Germany, the Netherlands, and France offer reputable programs, with many providing PSW options (e.g., Germany’s 18-month job-seeker visa).
Admission requirements, deadlines, and policies are subject to change and vary by country and university.
