Scholarships & Financial Support

Canadian institutions offer:

• Merit-based scholarships

• Entrance awards

• Program-specific tuition reductions

Scholarships are competitive and profile-dependent. We assist realistically—without over-promising.

International students are allowed to work:

• Up to 20 hours per week during academic sessions

• Full-time during scheduled breaks

Work experience helps students support living costs and gain Canadian exposure, but must remain secondary to study.

Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP)

Canada offers the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP), allowing graduates to gain Canadian work experience.

• Valid for up to 3 years, depending on program length

• Job must comply with PGWP rules

• PGWP is not guaranteed and depends on institution and program eligibility

We guide students carefully to choose PGWP-eligible programs and institutions.

1. Is Canada safe for Nepalese students?

Yes. Canada is consistently ranked among the safest countries in the world. Canadian institutions provide strong student support services, campus security, and access to healthcare. Students are also guided on accommodation, transport, and local laws to ensure a smooth transition.

2. Is IELTS compulsory to study in Canada?

In most cases, yes. Canadian colleges and universities commonly require IELTS Academic, though some accept PTE or TOEFL. English waivers may be possible in limited cases depending on prior education and institutional policy.

3. How much bank balance is required for a Canada student visa?

Students must show proof of funds to cover:

• Tuition fees (as per the offer letter)

• Living expenses (as required by IRCC)

• Travel and initial settlement costs

The exact amount depends on the institution and province. More important than the amount is clear, verifiable, and well-explained financial documentation.

4. What is a DLI and why is it important?

A Designated Learning Institution (DLI) is a school approved by the Canadian government to host international students. Only studies at eligible DLIs allow students to apply for a Study Permit and, in many cases, the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP).

5. Can I work while studying in Canada?

Yes. International students are generally allowed to work:

• Up to 20 hours per week during academic sessions

• Full-time during scheduled breaks

Work must remain secondary to studies and comply with visa conditions.

6. Is PGWP guaranteed after completing my studies?

No. The Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) is not guaranteed. Eligibility depends on:

• Institution type (public vs private)

• Program length and structure

• Compliance with study permit conditions

Education Park helps students choose PGWP-eligible institutions and programs wherever possible.

7. What if I have academic gaps? Can I still apply for Canada?

Yes. Academic gaps are acceptable if they are logically justified through:

• Work experience

• Professional training

• Skill development

• Personal or family responsibilities

What matters is a clear study plan and future career relevance.

8. Can my spouse or family accompany me to Canada?

Eligible family members may apply as dependents, subject to:

• Strong financial evidence

• Genuine relationship documentation

• Overall case strength

Each case must be assessed individually to determine the most appropriate strategy.

9. How long does it take to process a Canada student visa?

Processing times vary depending on intake season, application quality, and individual profile. A complete, accurate, and well-structured application generally results in smoother processing.

10. Are Canadian degrees recognised internationally?

Yes. Canadian diplomas and degrees are globally recognised and respected for their academic quality, research strength, and industry relevance.

11. Can I change my course or institution after reaching Canada?

Yes, but changes must comply with IRCC regulations. Students may need to update their DLI information and ensure continued visa compliance. Poorly planned changes can increase visa risk.

12. What are common reasons for Canada student visa refusal?

Common reasons include:

• Weak study plan or course relevance

• Insufficient or unclear financial evidence

• Poor academic progression

• Inconsistencies in documentation

Education Park focuses on risk identification and correction before application, not after refusal.

• Ethical and transparent counselling approach

• Experience with Canadian institutions

• Visa-risk-aware SOP and documentation guidance

• Profile-based course and institution selection

• End-to-end support from counselling to departure

We prioritise long-term student success over short-term volume.
