Student stories from Canada

Find your inspiration to study abroad today!

Why do international students choose to study in Canada? What do they have to say about life in this country? Do their expectations match the reality of living in a new country?

Since its founding more than 50 years ago, IDP has helped more than 500,000 students achieve their education and career dreams – including more than 20,000 who come to Canada every year. Our education counsellors work closely with these students to help them choose the best school for their goals, put together an excellent application, and increase their chances of gaining admission.

We asked some of our students about their experience working with IDP. They also spoke about how they chose their institutions, what the process of applying was like, and why they recommend Canada as a great destination for students from around the world interested in studying abroad. These testimonials speak about their time spent studying in Canadian universities or colleges, how this has impacted their lives, how they made new friends, experienced the process of cultural exchange, and eventually felt like part of a family away from home.

We also reached out to students from Canada who moved to other countries, like the UK, Ireland, and Australia. Here’s what they had to say too.

We are thrilled to spotlight the inspiring stories of students who have embarked on their educational journey to Canada with the assistance of an IDP education counsellor. If you have a story to tell, send us a message on Instagram and you could be featured on the IDP website.
