The cost of studying MS in Canada is more expensive than in NZ. You should choose Canada to pursue MS if you want access to top-ranked universities, better post-graduation work options, and global career opportunities. Choose NZ if you prefer a more affordable option with a peaceful lifestyle. Also, the admission process is less competitive. New Zealand's universities typically offer smaller class sizes compared to larger Canadian institutions.

Both countries have reputed universities that offer a variety of programs to study. However, Canadian universities generally have better rankings compared to universities in New Zealand. The cost of studying in New Zealand is lower than in Canada.

When it comes to part-time work, the Canadian student visa allows you to work 24 hours a week, while the New Zealand student visa permits 20 hours of work per week. 

In short, you need to filter out according to your prefrences.

Yes, international students who qualify for admissions to New Zealand universities will have to appear for an interview after applying for a student visa. No matter how tough the interview may sound, its significant to qualify for the interview in order to be able to get a student visa to study in New Zealand.
