Is it wise for a K12 graduate to proceed direct to Canada to continue college?

Yes! Why study for 4 years in the Philippines then study again in Canada after college graduation, if you can go to Canada direct and immediately after K12 Graduation?

Our fresh K12 Grad is now in her second semester in Journalism and is presently working on campus as Student Assistant.

After two years of study she will be eligible for an open three years open work permit and can now work full time towards permanent residency.

Fast forward, our K12 graduate can be gainfully employed and become permanent resident in Canada in three years or at age 22 compared to still in her third year college if she continue her college studies in the Philippines.

She can proceed with her Bachelors or even Masters if she wishes to while already working in Canada.

Considering the total time and effort on their studies, studying directly to Canada after K12 is the BRIGHTEST decision you can make.

THE COST INVOLVE
Is the benefit of your Study Work Programs worth the investment?

Studying in Canada as Investment to the Future.

We can consider the cost of studying in Canada as investment in yourself and in your future.

We can compare this to person who will buy a P1M worth of car where the car dealer’s offer is a loan of P1M with P20k amortization for 5 years.

Student applicants with no ready cash can inquire with their banks for a multi-purpose loan and use the proceeds to study in Canada instead.

After 5 years, the car has already depreciated while the student is already full time working and permanent resident of Canada with his family.

Yes, the proof of funds required by the embassy is about P1 Million in bank deposit and other financial documents. This covers the cost of the annual tuition fee, miscellaneous, food and accommodation for one year stay in Canada.
