As many as 21 Canadian institutes of higher learning will be brought on a single platform in ‘Study in Canada Mega Education Fair and Admissions Workshop’ which will be held in city’s Hotel Taj on April 14.
The education fair is being brought to Chandigarh by Charms Education and Immigration Services Pvt ltd. Manish Paitka, CEO of Charms Education & Immigration Services said, “The USP of the Institutes is that they are supported and funded by the Canadian Government.”
While talking to the mediapersons, he said the specialty of this programme is that the students have to pay only one semester tuition fee in advance, they have to deposit their living expenses of around 10,000 Canadian Dollars in their own account, which is opened by Scotia Bank, while the student is in India itself.
Representatives of Canadian Institutes said that studying your favorite courses in Canada turns out to be 20 - 30 per cent cheaper than other English speaking countries, depending on the course and University chosen.
There will be some special offers for students who want to enroll for September 2013 and January 2014 intake.
