At a Glance

The objectives of the Canada Graduate Scholarships – Doctoral, Masters and other programs are to reward and retain top-level graduate students enrolled in a doctoral and Masters program at Canadian institutions, to enable a high-quality research training experience for award holders and to foster impacts within and beyond the research environment.

Scope

To be eligible for support from the majority of NSERC’s scholarships and fellowships programs (except for Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarships and Banting Postdoctoral Fellowships), you must be a Canadian citizen, a permanent resident of Canada or a protected person under subsection 95(2) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (Canada), as of the application deadline date. NSERC may ask for proof of citizenship, residency or protected person status before and while providing funding.
You must not be currently declared ineligible to apply for and hold funding from NSERC, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), or any other Canadian research funding organization for reasons of breach of standards of ethics or integrity (including financial or scientific misconduct).

You must have accounts in good standing with NSERC, including having paid and/or returned any money owed to NSERC. The determination of whether or not an account is in good standing shall be at the sole and absolute discretion of NSERC.

To determine your eligibility, NSERC uses the date of degree completion. This is the date on which all the requirements of your degree have been met, including the successful defence and submission of the corrected copy of your thesis (in accordance with your institution’s regulations). It is not the conferred or convocation date.

How can I apply to study abroad?

“Information for applicants is available on institutions’ websites; can apply directly from there. You will also need to apply to the immigration office of your country of study in your country of origin for a study visa. You can find required information on the immigration websites. If you will like us to assist you, get in touch through Facebook or WhatsApp or complete our assessment form and we will get back to you as soon as possible.”

Do I need an agent to apply to study abroad?

No. You do not necessarily need an agent to apply to study abroad. You can go to the institutional website and make your application by yourself. Then you can apply for your study visa afterwards. You will then be on your way to your country of study. However, there are many useful benefits that you might not be able to access, and many opportunities that you might miss when you go on your own. Universities give licenses to recruitment agents for a reason. Our experience shows that highly-qualified applicants usually get offers in many cases, but they may fail to secure a study visa due to lack of experience and information. Many applicants get stuck somewhere on the line; either overwhelmed by the huge information or made wrong choices because they lack a clear picture of what to opt for. This is where working with licensed institutional agents, come in. We will definitely advise you to work with one. If you will like to have more information, chat with us on Facebook, message us on our Facebook Page or WhatsApp. You can also complete our eligibility assessment form, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

What are the benefits of using an agent to apply to study abroad?

Working with an agent gives you the benefit of experience on your side when you work with licensed agents. Some other benefits of working with an agent include the fact that agents:

get regular updates directly from their partner institutions
therefore help you to access to current information on many opportunities and/visa
are aware of the best options and can advise you on courses, programmes, etc.
have extensive experience in admissions and immigration issues that will help you
are aware of the best study options for different post-graduation opportunities
can help push for an admission appeal in ways that you cannot on your own
get priority attention from the institution when pushing your application
sometimes have exclusive access to information on certain funding, fee waivers, etc.
know current visa requirements, and can advise you so you can get it right the first time

If you would like to have more information, chat with us on Facebook, message us on our Facebook Page or WhatsApp. You can also complete our eligibility assessment form, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

What kind of programs can I apply for to study abroad?

There are several options including high school programmes, diplomas, bachelors, post-bachelors, postgraduate certificates/diplomas, bridging programmes, credit/programme transfers, Master degrees, PhD, postdoctoral programmes, short-term and professional development programmes, etc. Specific requirements will depend on the opportunity. If you would like to have more information, chat with us on Facebook or message us on our Facebook Page or WhatsApp. You can also complete our eligibility assessment form, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Can I study abroad if I do not have a high school certificate or diploma yet?

Yes. You definitely can study abroad without a high school certificate. For example, some institutions will allow you to use your work experience as a basis to apply for admission. The process is usually on a case-by-case basis, so, you will need to contact the institution you are interested in directly to inquire about such opportunities, or contact your agent to put in a request and follow up on your behalf. If you would like to have more information, chat with us on Facebook, message us on our Facebook Page or WhatsApp. You can also complete our eligibility assessment form, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

How much does it cost to study abroad?

There are many factors that determine the cost of international education. The country, the programme, the specific course and more. There is therefore no single answer. Tuition and other costs are usually displayed on the website of institutions. Additional costs to cover other things like travel and living expenses are also included in most estimates. You can check on our country pages for more information on the average range of tuition and living costs in various countries. If you would like to have more information, chat with us on Facebook, message us on our Facebook Page or WhatsApp. You can also complete our eligibility assessment form, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

What are the most important factors to consider in choosing where to study abroad?

There are many factors, and no exhaustive list exists. It is important to know what you are looking forward to after graduation in order to make initial decisions on where/what to study in order to be able to access the relevant opportunities. Important factors thus include:

Your source of funding; you must be sure of this so you can choose the right place
The programme (type of degree) and course you are interested in studying for
Additional opportunities (e.g. scholarships, study-and-work, etc.) accessible to students
Your post-graduation priority (to return to your country of origin or stay on to work)
Post-graduation work opportunities for international students
Your short- and long-term personal and career goals
