It has become a pop- culture among Nepali students to seek studies abroad after completing their high school, regardless of their hometown, economic background, gender, or any other factor. If they are unable to do so immediately after high school, they attempt it after completing their bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Among the plethora of options available, Canada stands out as a major study destination for young people. The country is renowned for its high-quality education and reputation as a safe haven. Other significant reasons for choosing Canada include international exposure, affordability of tuition fees, quality of life, cultural diversity, and easy access to permanent residency.
