So students can choose to study in either Canada or USA based on their interests, scope of study and future job prospects. Students can choose Canada over USA also because there are a huge number of scholarships available for international students in Canada for all levels of study.

Students are attracted to study in the U.S. because various top-ranked global universities are situated there.
