Should I quit my government job to pursue study in Canada from India?

It depends. Leaving a government job in India to study in Canada can offer global exposure and new career opportunities, but it comes with significant trade-offs.

Consider these key points:

- Career growth: Studying in Canada can boost your skills and open doors in international job markets, but there’s no guarantee of immediate success.
- Financial impact: Tuition and living costs in Canada are high, and you’ll lose the stability and benefits of your government job. Weigh the long-term return on investment carefully.
- Post-study options: You may be eligible for a post-graduation work permit (PGWP, subject to change), which can help you gain Canadian work experience.
- Re-entry challenges: Returning to a government job later can be difficult due to age limits and re-hiring policies.

This decision should align with your long-term goals and risk tolerance. If you need personalized guidance, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
