Motivation for Prospective Students
Recent changes to Canada's international student policies, including capping study permits, may seem daunting, but it's important to know that Canada is not closing its doors to international students. Instead, the government aims to create a fairer system and manage resources like housing more effectively.
At Flywest Immigration Services, we collaborate with leading universities across provinces, ensuring students find the right program aligned with their goals.
