In Canada, Newfoundland and Labrador is the easternmost province, and around ninety-two percent of the province's population lives on the island of Newfoundland. Recently this province has seen a massive upsurge in the number of international students who want to study in Newfoundland. In this article, we will understand the reasons behind this trend.
Affordable education The educational sector of Newfoundland has been ever-evolving and has focused upon inclusion. The universities for higher learning are both affordable as well as efficient. The Memorial University of Newfoundland, College of the North Atlantic, is Canada's top 100 higher educational institutions. They have the lowest tuition rates in Canada and have professionally trained faculties, excellent research, innovation facilities, and a student-centric approach. The government understands the financial challenges of international students and provides competitive funding packages for eligible students who want to study in Newfoundland. Its multidisciplinary collaborative approach makes Newfoundland unique. It is where different private and public institutions come together to prepare a tailor-made curriculum that best suits the interest of an international student. Students can choose from various disciplines like Psychology, Life Sciences, Social Sciences, etc.
Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Nominee Program Most international students study abroad with the ultimate aim of settling down in a place that provides them with a high quality of life along with opportunities for a fulfilling career. Studying in Newfoundland offers international students just that. The Provincial Nominee Program allows international students who have graduated from a recognized post-secondary educational institute of the province to apply for permanent residence easily. Another option available to foreign graduates is the Express Entry system, which is open to those graduates who have managed to get a job in Canada.
Thriving economy This province has some of the highest unemployment rates in Canada. The economy is heavily dependent upon natural resources. Agriculture, fisheries, forestry, mining, and oil industry thrive here, but the services sector is the largest, contributing approximately three-fifth of the GDP. Activities like Banking and Finance, Insurance and real estate, retail, wholesale trade, and tourism are major job creators. International students enrolled full-time are offered a 12-week internship in their field of study under the Student internship Pilot program. It allows graduates to become more employable by learning practical skills. The government aims to welcome 1,700 newcomers per year by 2022 as a part of The Way Forward On Immigration in Newfoundland and Labrador. Such immigration-focused programs attract international students to study in Newfoundland.
Lifestyle The abundant natural scenery and wildlife provide many options for recreational activities. Students love outdoor activities like fishing, backpacking, canoeing, kayaking, biking, camping, and hiking. The Torngat Mountains National Park Reserve and the Terra Nova National Park are famous amongst visitors and tourists alike. The province has many warm and welcoming people who are well-liked by international students. The cost of living and accommodation expenses are also amongst the lowest in Canada due to which people enjoy a high standard of living here. The theatre scene is vibrant and diverse, from small shows to full-scale musical extravaganzas; Newfoundland is a paradise for theatre lovers. World-class chefs have opened up some great restaurants at gorgeous locations top-rated amongst international students studying in Newfoundland.
Culture - It combines the cultures of England, Ireland, France, and that of its indigenous population. Newfoundland is home to some of Canada's most talented performers and artists, and St John's is famous for producing the country's best writers, musicians, actors, and comedians. International students see it as a once-in-a-lifetime experience to get a chance to study and live in such a picturesque and artistic province.
