Canada is considered a dream destination for many international students, particularly Filipinos. According to Applyboard - Fil-Global’s leading partner in international student recruitment, statistical analysis during pre-COVID times dictate that there was a steady rise of applicants belonging to the mature age group (>25 years old). Seeing this year’s member profiles, the figures are expected to rise even further.
In one of their articles, it showed how the source market has changed over a short time. The author pointed out how working-age adults, particularly those who are married and with kids are eager to pursue their goals to study, work, and potentially relocate their family. With the changes brought by the Canadian government’s immigration policies, post-secondary graduates in their 20s and 30s have been shown to have reaped the benefits from the PR pathway.
As we all know, all 2 to 3-year programs can lead to a PGWP, indicating a clear direction to Permanent Residency. Although age is considered a factor in Canada’s points-based system, a college or a university degree is capable of providing a huge mark during the assessment.
So, if you hear someone questioning you of your age and your plans in studying abroad, go ahead and spill the beans! You might get surprised to find them interested in the same program as yours.
