10 Reasons to Study Abroad in Canada

Canada, eh! Trust us, it’s pretty cool up here! It may be cold and huge and quite hard to travel around, but there are so many reasons why Canada is a great place to study! Today, we’re starting a new series, featuring different countries and reasons why you should study there! Here are just a few of the reasons why Canada is a great country to go to..

1. The people are sooo kind

Canadians are some of the nicest people you’ll meet! If you look even a little lost in the streets, someone will immediately come up to you to ask if you need any help! ‘Ummm no.. I was just thinking about poutine..’

2. They have it all

You love nature? You love the city? Canada has it all! From beautiful cities like Montréal and Vancouver, to the most amazing national parks like Banff and Jasper, you can find it here! Honestly, everything in between is just stunningly beautiful as well! Make sure to look out for the

bright red maple trees during the fall!

3. The supermarkets have everything you’ll need to try that recipe from a Tasty video

The struggle is real when you watch one of those awesome videos, but you’re not able to find half of the ingredients because they’re so American! Fear no more! This is your chance to try out every single recipe cause trust me, they have all that stuff over here!

4. You’ll experience all the seasons in their full glory

You know, winter is really cold, with lots of snow! During fall, you’ll see the most beautiful colours in and around the many parks and during the summer, it can actually get really warm!

5. Many universities have a real campus

If a campus is something that your home country or university does not have, then this is your chance to experience real campus life! It’s actually so cool and convenient, just like in the American movies!

6. Some gooood food

Timbits from Tim Hortons, poutine, beavertails.. You name it! Canada has some pretty cool traditional treats that you really need to try!

7. The school spirit

Canadians are proud! In many schools, the true school spirit is present! Cool merch and awesome sports games included! If this is not something you see at your home university, then this will definitely be a special experience!

8. Canadians are excited to meet exchange students

As soon as they hear any accent, they won’t hesitate and ask where you’re from! Canadians will always get excited when they hear that you’re from some faraway country and share with you their stories of their travel experiences or heritage!

9. You can experience hockey matches

Seriously, my new favourite sport! The games are sooo exciting to watch and Canadians are obsessed with it, so you’ll surely be able to watch some games!

10. Justin Trudeau

He’s cool. He’s young. He’s here. You’ll see him everywhere! He’s on book covers, coasters and other gifts, a good way to take him home with you!
