Canada is generally the better choice if you want longer post-study work options and a clearer path to permanent residency. The UK is best if you prefer a shorter, 1-year master's and want to rejoin the workforce quickly.

- Tuition fees: UK £15,000 - £35,000/year (₹15 - 35 lakh), Canada CAD 15,000 - 40,000/year (₹9 - 24 lakh); subject to change.
- Program length: UK 1 year, Canada 2 years.
- Post-study work: UK offers 2 years (Graduate Route visa), Canada up to 3 years (PGWP).
- Permanent residency: Canada has more accessible pathways.

If you have a specific career or settlement goal, discuss your priorities with your LeapScholar counsellor for tailored advice.
