Is it necessary to have a scholarship to study abroad in Canada?

No, a scholarship is not required to study abroad. Most students fund their studies through personal savings, family support, education loans, or part-time work.
For Canada, you must show proof of enough funds for tuition, living expenses, and travel when applying for a study permit. Scholarships can help with these costs but are not mandatory.
