WHY I CHOOSE CANADA ?

It was clear in my mind that I have to pursue my further studies from abroad as I realized that Indian
education system is based more on theoretical rather than practical and thus it lacks post study
employability. When I was in search of best country to study, I found Canada as most suitable
country as compare to UK, USA, Australia in terms of affordable fees, living expenses, education
quality and exciting student life. Moreover, In Canada, the approach of teaching is practical along
with the use of the latest techniques and updated syllabus which makes the student industry-ready
graduate and this increases the chances of a fresh graduate to be a part of one of the leading
organizations of the world. Even the modes of delivering education are well furnished as the latest
technologies are being used to impart education to the students such as smart classes equipped with
projectors or other audio-visual aids and so on. Secondly, by studying in an English speaking country
I can improve my communication skills. Last but not the least, the value and recognition of an
international degree due to the latest business techniques and understanding of the advanced
economy are always higher than a local degree especially in one of the most emerging markets like
India today. Hence internationally qualified candidates are always preferred comparatively. Due to
all these merits of overseas education, I have decided to have an international degree rather a
domestic one.

WHY I CHOOSE ST. CLAIR COLLEGE?

While searching for the options to study, I got to know about the Social Service Worker –
Gerontology program offered by St Clair College, Ontario, Canada. It is a Canadian public community
