If I do not get admission in Australia, can Canada be my second option for studying abroad for a Master's/Bachelor's?

Yes, Canada is a strong alternative for your master's studies if you don't secure admission in Australia. Canadian universities offer diverse programs, competitive tuition, and favorable post-study work (PSW) opportunities.

With your four-year bachelor's in Actuarial Science and 6.5 CGPA, you meet the general academic requirements for many Canadian master's programs. Admission criteria may vary by university and course.

You'll typically need:
- A recognized bachelor's degree
- English proficiency (usually IELTS 6.5+)
- Supporting documents like a Statement of Purpose and Letters of Recommendation

Visa and fee requirements are subject to change.
