Is education loan financing feasible for my planned intake and profile in Canada for a Master's?
Yes, an education loan for your January 2027 Master's intake in Canada is feasible with your profile. Your graduation GPA (7.6) and 24 months of work experience are positive factors. However, most lenders require an IELTS score as proof of English proficiency - without it, loan approval can be difficult.
- IELTS score: Typically required by banks to assess your ability to study in Canada.
- Co-applicant: A financially stable co-applicant (parent, sibling, or spouse) strengthens your application.
- Collateral: For loans above ₹7.5 lakh, collateral (property or fixed deposit) may be needed; smaller loans may not require it.
To improve your chances, plan to take the IELTS exam and gather details about a suitable co-applicant and any collateral you can offer. For personalized guidance, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.

- Education loan: Many Indian banks and financial institutions offer loans for studying in Canada. These may be secured (with collateral) or unsecured, and typically require Indian citizenship, admission to a recognized Canadian university, and a strong academic record.
