If I do not have connections in London or Germany but see people going to Canada, is that a better option in UK?

It depends on your priorities, but having personal connections is not required for studying or settling in Canada, the UK, or Germany.

- Canada is a popular choice for international students because of its friendly immigration policies, strong post-study work visa (PGWP), and clear permanent residency pathways. Many students move without existing contacts and successfully build networks after arrival.
- UK and Germany also welcome international students, but having connections is not essential for admission, job searches, or settling. Career support and student communities are available in all three countries.

If you value a supportive environment for newcomers and clear pathways to work and residency, Canada is often seen as more accessible, even without prior connections. If you need help weighing your options, your LeapScholar counsellor can guide you based on your goals.
