Canada Universities & admissions - University shortlisting
103 questions
Expert Answers
Should an Indian student pick University of Regina in Saskatchewan, Canada, over Guelph in Ontario for better PR chances?
→Yes, University of Regina generally offers better and more predictable PR chances. Ontario recently revoked its old graduate and job offer immigration streams, replacing them with a stricter employer-driven system, while Saskatchewan still reserves 750 nominations yearly for its own graduates through the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program.
Given the current job crisis, is it still advisable for Indian parents to send their children to study in Canada?
→You can still send your child to Canada, but only if they get into a strong, recognised university, pursue an in demand field like healthcare or STEM, and can fund the full cost without relying on part time work. Avoid diploma colleges pushed as an easy route to residency.
How might Canada's push for universities to recruit outside India affect admission chances for Indian applicants?
→Canada's push to recruit students from beyond India mainly hurts applicants targeting diploma programs and smaller colleges, where refusals have climbed sharply. If you are aiming for a top research university in STEM or healthcare, your chances stay relatively stable, shielded by research funding and merit.
Is Canada still a top study destination for Indian students in 2026, or are other countries now preferred?
→Canada remains a genuinely strong study destination in 2026 if you can get into a top ranked university and afford its raised financial requirements, including a GIC now near CAD 20,635, roughly Rs. 12.7 lakh. If you want lower upfront costs, Germany, the UK, or Ireland are increasingly attractive alternatives.
