As of September 2023, interest among students in Canada has increasingly shifted toward countries like Germany, the UK, Ireland, New Zealand, France, and Malta. Among these, Germany stands out as a top destination for international students. A significant draw is the near-zero tuition fees at public universities for eligible students. Many also consider private institutions that offer substantial scholarships, such as the University of Europe for Applied Sciences, Lancaster University, IU, Constructor University, Arden University, Macromedia, GISMA, BSBI etc. Scholarships can range from 15% to 40% off tuition fees, depending on academic performance.
