Which part of Canada would you prefer to study in if you had the choice?
Western Canada? With cities such as Vancouver & Victoria. Western Canada is home to the Canadian Rockies.
Central Canada? With cities such as Calgary, Edmonton, and Regina.
Eastern Canada? With cities such as Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City, and Halifax.
What impacts your decision more: Location or School?

Toronto and Montreal are both big, fun cities with tons to see and do! They also house some of the most well-known universities in Canada!
I personally chose to study at Waterloo, because while it’s only 2 hours or less from Toronto and the big city, it has a much nicer, quiet style that fits me better. There are lots of universities only an hour or 2 away from the central cities that are as good (if not better for certain programs), so you should check them out too! The big city can be a bit intimidating, so smaller universities with tighter student communities may be a better choice for international students.

Toronto and Montreal are both hubs for international students as they provide a great city atmosphere as well as a great reputation as far as academics go.
Toronto is a powerhouse for universities and colleges alike. There are many prestigious schools very close in proximity. Surprisingly, they each hold a niche in different academia that makes them all very appealing in their own ways.
Montreal is most commonly known for McGill University. Montreal is an interesting city because you get a taste of both English-speaking Canada as well as French-speaking Canada. Montreal is a very hip town and there are always many things to do and get involved in.
I would suggest looking outside of these cities centres as well though, you’d be surprised by the many schools that hold just as much prestige. Ontario has many universities close together, but don’t be shy to look into schools along the west and east coasts as well. They have a lot more scenery and just as much value to lend to your educational growth as the cities would!
