Why Canada?
Canada is the second largest country in the world, and one of the most geographically diverse. But above all, it’s a destination full of advantages for those who want to study here:
- Quality of life and standard of living among the highest in the world
- An education system recognised for its excellence and compatible with our European systems
- A friendly and hospitable population
- Cultural richness
- A safe environment and magnificent landscapes.
The United States and Canada are vast countries with vast geographical distances. The car is the main means of transport, and public transport networks are generally underdeveloped, with the exception of certain major cities. International students coming from Europe where public transport networks are more developed will have to adapt to this difference when they study in North America, and may have to rethink their travel habits by planning their journeys according to the transport options available.
Our partner schools are located in Windsor, in the south of the province ofOntario, a small, dynamic, safe and very pleasant city. Because of its location in the south of Canada, Windsor enjoys a much milder climate than other parts of the country. Its many parks and beaches make it an ideal destination for nature lovers.
One of Windsor’s other advantages is its proximity to the American border. Detroit is just 20 minutes away. Windsor residents regularly go there to attend shows, concerts and games by the famous Detroit Tigers baseball team, or simply to go shopping. Major cities such as Toronto, Montreal, Chicago, New York, Washington and Boston are only a few hours away, so students can discover Canada as well as the United States.
