How to Plan to Study Abroad During Global Health Emergency.webp
The current global health emergency has put the study abroad aspirants into a panic state. Even though the chances of things getting back to exactly the same place they were before this pandemic, are slim, but students should not lose their focus. They should always keep an eye on the bigger picture, and the bigger picture here is attaining the best education at the top academic institutions abroad and getting settled.

You cannot achieve this bigger picture by thinking and wishing it to happen all by itself. Instead, it is something that requires your input. Well, we at Canam Consultants have laid out a comprehensive guide and steps that you need to take while planning to study abroad.

1. Start making Applications
We understand because of the current situation, many students feel that deferring their study abroad plans is the right thing to do, but think again! Many countries like Canada are open-heartedly welcoming international students. Very recently, it has announced to grant PGWP, short for Post Graduate Work Permit, for students who have started their online courses. Not only this, besides scholarships, many academic institutions are offering free internet service to their students in India so that there is no obstacle, whatsoever.

Senior counsellors at Canam do not recommend students to defer their plans of study abroad, unless they have something very productive lined up, or else, it will be seen as a gap year on their CV that they will have to justify it later.

Just like students, many academic institutions across the globe are facing an uphill battle. They are doing everything in their power to make the application process as seamless and easy as possible. They are making several adjustments and compromises in terms of documents, eligibility, application fee waivers and many more. Therefore, according to us, it is the best opportunity for the study abroad aspirants who have some or the other weaker points.

2. Students should consider taking Online Classes
Students should seriously consider taking online classes looking at the current scenario. Keeping the travel restrictions into mind, these online classes are the real saviour for the international students. They can now study through online classes at their own comfortable time. With this, students can pick up their own study pace and can be in control of their prospects.

Besides this, online classes can also help students save their travel and accommodation expenditure. Students can now study from the comfort of their home and enjoy home-cooked food. There are many study abroad destinations like Canada that has reassured students that their Post Study work permit will remain intact, even if they do attend their classes online.

3. In the future
Even though restrictions are being lifted slowly from across the world, but everyone is required to adhere to the strict social distancing guidelines, and international students are no exception. Colleges, or universities may start classroom teaching on their campus with a limited number of students, but online classes will still be the preferred choice. Students can expect an amalgamation of online and offline classes in the coming future.

4. Enhance your skill
Every minute technology is evolving, and with online classes, students can keep themselves in the loop. We have witnessed that online classes have changed the meaning of learning in the past few months. Students can now enhance their skills in almost everything. Online classes have successfully changed its name to interactive classes. With the advancement of technology, online classes are even more effective than face-to-face learning. That is why; students should use this to their advantage.

They either can take another skip-learning online class or can take up a part-time job as students have ample of time because of online classes. With this facet, students can imply their theoretical knowledge into practice. It will also help them build a stronger foundation.

We hope we are able to answer all your queries and if you feel, you still have some questions answered, feel free to get in touch with our senior counsellors today!
