The Best Provinces for International Students to Live in Canada

Canada is currently a country that attracts a large number of international students with its favorable Visa policies that do not require financial proof and its easy immigration policies. Among Canada’s 10 provinces, NEEC wants to introduce you to 5 outstanding provinces with friendly immigration policies, beautiful landscapes, and an excellent quality of life. Let’s explore which provinces these are:

1. Ontario Province

Ontario is the financial and industrial hub of Canada, home to the capital city of Ottawa and the world-famous Niagara Falls. Ontario is the second largest province in Canada, larger than the combined area of France and Spain. Ontario has warm summers, mild winters with little snowfall, and clean, pleasant air. Over 40% of immigrants choose Ontario as their destination.

The largest city in Northwestern Ontario is Thunder Bay, which is rapidly developing into the region’s commercial, administrative, and service center. With a population of over 100,000, Thunder Bay is ideal for those who prefer a developing but not overly bustling environment.

Ontario is suitable for students who:

  • Enjoy vibrant city life, a multicultural environment with a large international student population
  • Are interested in finance, economics, engineering, and technology fields, taking advantage of the central location with many large, multinational corporations

2. Manitoba Province

“Manitoba” is derived from the local language, meaning “The Core of the Great Spirit.” About 60% of the province’s population lives in Winnipeg, the capital of Manitoba.

The average income for newly graduated students in Manitoba is 4,300 CAD/month. The unemployment rate in Manitoba is 6%, lower than the national average of 6.8%.

Manitoba is one of the provinces with extremely attractive policies for international students, such as free health insurance for those who have lived and studied in Manitoba for 6 months or more. Additionally, they offer a 60% tuition refund up to $25,000 CAD if students complete their studies and choose to stay and work in Manitoba.

Manitoba is suitable for students who:

  • Are looking for good high schools and universities with competitive tuition fees
  • Want to experience an educational environment with predominantly Canadian, native students
  • Aim to work and settle in Canada long-term after graduation with attractive income opportunities

3. Québec Province

Québec is the largest province in Canada, with an area three times that of France and seven times that of the UK. Québec is famous for its history and vibrant cultural activities. 45% of Québec’s population speaks two languages, English and French. In Montreal, 57% of the population speaks English, and over 40% of immigrants speaking English are from Asia.

Québec is suitable for students who:

  • Are proficient in both English and French
  • Are looking for long-term work opportunities after graduation
  • Want to study in fields that match the province’s demand for highly skilled labor

4. British Columbia Province

British Columbia is one of the most mountainous regions in North America, with an area four times that of the UK and over 600 large and small parks. It is considered the third-largest television production center in America (after Los Angeles and New York). Additionally, Vancouver, located in British Columbia, has Canada’s third-largest airport and the largest on the Pacific coast of North America. The climate here is mild and more pleasant than in other provinces in Canada.

About 43,151 immigrants live and work in this province, accounting for about 13.5% of the total immigrant population.

5. Alberta Province

Alberta covers an area of 600,000 square kilometers, known for its agriculture, with many mountains and wheat fields. Alberta has the highest average income in Canada, with 1,183 CAD/week. Alberta is also known as the youngest province in Canada, with an average age of 37.1 years.

With 2,396 hours of sunshine per year, Calgary is considered the sunniest city in Canada. Summers are quite warm, with average temperatures above 30°C.

West Edmonton Mall in Alberta is the largest shopping mall in North America, covering an area of over 492,000 square meters (equivalent to a small city).

In addition to its beautiful natural scenery, mild climate, healthy development environment, and enviable quality of life, Canada also has extremely open immigration policies. Therefore, choosing to study and settle in Canada can be considered a very wise decision.
