Moving to a new country, where exciting opportunities are awaiting you can be fun, however, for those who haven’t been abroad or haven’t stayed in a foreign land for a significant amount of time, abruptly leaving your life and going somewhere else can be very difficult. Especially for students who have spent their whole lives with their families, it can be challenging to live somewhere else on your own. This has been the case for many students who choose to go abroad for their academics. Having lived their whole lives dependent on someone else, such drastic change in their way of life could be a massive hurdle.
Canada is a diverse country. Specifically, the student community in universities welcomes people from all around the world. One must always remember that everyone in their first years is just as nervous as you are. The daunting prospect of being unable to adapt is the same for all because everyone there is seeking new experiences away from their families and people/things that they’ve known their entire lives. However, one must definitely put in the effort to adapt and blend in as much as one can,
One of the ways in which you can adapt can be by being involved in various student activities. Student-led clubs, organizations, and societies might be a good way to do so. Through these bodies, you can find like-minded people you might want to be friends with. In universities, where everyone wants to learn something new, the plethora of ideas and discussions that take place are limitless, so there’s a great chance that you might find your home away from home in college.
Something else one might want to be a part of is the regional student organizations. For example- the Nepali students’ association. These organizations help you find people who are from the same regional background as you. These sorts of organizations host cultural events, food mixers, etc which might help you feel less homesick. Of course, there’s no substitution to home, but this might be the closest one can get to it.
Amidst all the chaos of starting university, one should also remember to keep in touch with their family. One should talk to people they miss, however in a healthy amount as one should remember that their new and a life full of prospects is right where they are right now. One must also take time to explore their surroundings. There might be an uncountable number of things one is yet to witness, and visiting someplace new is always fun, so one must take out their time to do this.
Leaving the bubble one has been living in all their lives can be scary, however, the only way one can go is up, so explore, learn, and be involved in as many activities as you can, while balancing your academics.

Canada is one of the most sought-after study destinations for international students across the globe. For those looking to apply to study in Canada, it is fair to say that the next few months will be both important and stressful. The application process can be very long and tedious, as one has to do long research, find out what place or college is the best fit. organise all the documents necessary, prepare financial data etc. This process is the most crucial part of your way into a top university, so if one doesn’t have proper guidance from consultants or even while self-applying, it can be very troubling.
One needs to be very organised regarding the application process. A checklist of the to-do things can be done in order to facilitate it. To help students be well acquainted with the process so that they can be as efficient as they can, here’s a list of things one needs to do to apply to Canada-
The Canadian Education System is known for its unique approach towards study programs. Canadian Universities offer Bachelors and Masters degrees like any other countries in the world. However, they also have their own version of higher level studies known as Diploma programs. These Diploma programs are designed with a practical approach for what students want to do in their Career.
How is a Diploma program different from your regular Bachelor’s degree?
Diploma Programs are offered by the universities in partnership with institutions and organisations that hire students as their Interns and Employees. The diploma programs are very job specific i.e. you will only be studying and getting experienced with what you actually have to do in your work space after graduation. For example, a web designing student will be studying all aspects of the relevant field. They also get to utilise their study hours working in a firm (often in partnership with their University) as a paid intern.
Students that choose to do their diplomas have an option to choose a time frame too. A few universities offer one year diploma courses, whereas most opt to take the two year course that helps them get perfectly acquainted with all the necessary things that they need to learn. The courses are often streamlined as compared to a 4 year university course, enabling the students to learn exactly only what they need to, without having to study all general subjects.
Both these one and two year diploma holders are very high-skilled and are very sought after by very big employers.
If the students wish to study further, they can take the 3rd year diploma course as well, known as Advanced Diploma which will enable them to go further into detailed study of the subject of their interest.
Why is it better for your career?
Job market is a very competitive place where students often struggle getting jobs because of the excess qualifications and experience required by the employing organisations. However, In the diploma programs the students will have worked as interns and employees under companies that are partnered with universities. The students may be able to continue their jobs in the same firms themselves. Or if the students choose work abroad or return to their countries, the organisations in the respective places will still prioritise the diploma graduates as they have the required qualifications and more job experiences in the relevant career field.
Note: Students can continue their studies with a Postgraduate degree/Master’s program after the Diploma program. Just like after your Bachelor’s degree.
Diploma courses are very sought after in Canada because it helps students get the required knowledge and skills they need to compete in the job market within a relatively short period of time. It helps one specialise in a certain concentration form the beginning of the classes unlike with 4-year university courses. A few colleges and universities that offer diploma courses in Canada are Seneca College, Carleton University, University of Winnipeg, University of Windsor, University of Prince Edward Island, Mount Saint Vincent University etc.
BBA is one of the most renowned and studied courses in the present day. The subject deals with various fields of business administrations such as Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Marketing and Operations Management. Students from Nepal, especially the ones pursuing management in +2 look forward to doing BBA as their bachelor studies. Although this course is provided by many universities all around the world there are some factors to consider before choosing and applying to your preferred colleges.
In Canada, The colleges facilitate a professional education environment. The International Bachelors in Business Administration (iBBA) is particularly focused to offer an innovative, comprehensive and real-world learning experience. The students are capable of working abroad after graduation if they aspire to do so, as they learn about business from an international perspective.
The iIBBA program in Canada is four year long and builds on Schulich’s long-standing international reputation. iBBA students examine business through multiple lenses via: internationally-focused core courses; regionally-focused electives; the study of a second language; and a mandatory exchange term at one of Schulich’s leading business school partners around the world.
Here is an overview of what students learn during their school years:
Universities in Canada accept students in BBA as they do in any other faculty. However, students that are very enthusiastic about doing good for the community, and tackling society’s pressing problems are recommended to take up this area of education. With an affordable cost of attendance, some of the universities in Canada that offer a BBA degree are Carleton University, University of Winnipeg, University of Windsor, University of Prince Edward Island, Mount Saint Vincent University etc. These universities offer world-class BBA education with some of the best educators worldwide, amazing research opportunities and study away programs.
