In childhood we are asked “what do you want to be when you grow up?”. But the truth is that it's super common that many still haven't discovered their true aspiration. Therefore, studying in Canada could be the best investment of your life.
It is natural to think and plan what our lives will be like and, generally, it is part of the planning to leave high school straight to university. But what many don't think is that the year after high school doesn't need to be completely linked to university. In fact, it can be a great opportunity for maturity and self-knowledge, which will guide the student when choosing the college they will pursue later.
Cultural exchange
Cultural exchange is the perfect opportunity for those who have just finished high school to have a unique and enriching experience living in another country. It is a trip abroad that aims to study or work, to get to know the culture and traditions of another country, in addition to learning the language, developing relationships and making valuable exchanges of knowledge with people from other countries, who live in a reality different from yours.
Furthermore, this is an excellent opportunity for the exchange student to gain knowledge of cultural aspects, learn or develop their skills in a different language, and also combine the useful with the pleasant, taking the opportunity to travel and get to know a new country.
The exchange student then becomes a citizen of the world and this experience will add value, both to his personal life and to his CV.
How do I become an exchange student?
There are different ways to join this adventure, so, first of all, it is important to carry out an educational consultation to align your intentions and desires with the existing possibilities. But it's worth remembering that the safest and most reliable alternative to making a trip of this type is through a reliable exchange company. After all, the company will be responsible for mediating contact with the school, helping you with your visa, understanding the best planning for your case, among other advantages.
What if I want to live in Canada later?
Cultural exchange naturally involves a pre-defined period of stay in the country, requiring the student to return to their country of origin. But nothing stops you from fulfilling your dream of returning to live permanently!
The experience of spending 3 months to 1 year in a first world country, like Canada, really awakens many dreams in students, who tend to want to return to stay permanently. Therefore, once the exchange period is over, it is possible to return as a student at a college or university in Canada.
In a way, this transition will be even easier for those who have already lived and studied there. Therefore, when the exchange student creates their Canada Plan, the options will be greater and easier. In other words, the dream is possible!
