Doing a postgraduate degree abroad can be an enriching and transformative experience. The search is ongoing for students who want to expand their knowledge, but are unsure where to move. According to data from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in 2020 there were 4.2 million Brazilians living outside the country, a larger population than the entire population of Uruguay, which totaled 3.5 million inhabitants. These numbers grow significantly every year.
The opportunity to experience other cultures is the dream of almost every student who seeks advanced academic learning and immersion in a new culture. This opportunity to pursue a postgraduate degree can expand both professional and personal horizons.
Located in North America, this is one of the most sought after destinations by Brazilians for exchange programs. The country is the second largest in the world in terms of territorial extension and has 10 provinces and 3 territories. Cities such as Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal and Ottawa, the country's capital, are considered by many to be the best cities in Canada as they offer greater infrastructure, a climate with mild temperatures and great leisure options. And this is nothing new. But what is not so common in articles about exchanges is that there are many cities with great potential, but smaller in size.
