Discover what makes this country ideal for your exchange

Some people say that traveling is one of the best experiences we can have in life. Therefore, one can imagine that being an exchange student is something even more incredible, since we stayed there for a long time. And how about an exchange in Canada?

This country, which is the second in the world in terms of territory, has just over 38 million inhabitants. Due to colonization, in addition to English, they have French as another official language.

“Canada offers scenery for all tastes and is a nation known for its high investment in education. Health, safety, transport and a culture of respect for the dignity of people are also characteristics of this region. », Comments the director of Eagle Brasil, Cláudio Cantamessa.

Each place usually has characteristics that attract attention, amuse and make you want to see it “live”, right? With that in mind, here are some interesting facts about the country:

– It is a bilingual country, in which English and French are the official languages;
– It has a low population density;
– Its name is of indigenous origin;
– It has the largest number of freshwater lakes in the world;
– It only borders the United States.

But beyond that, why choose Canada? Every year, Canada is the right name on the most wanted lists by exchange students around the world.

“One of the attractions is the fact that it is a multicultural region and that its inhabitants are known for their receptivity to foreigners. Many Brazilians who study there tend to work in operational jobs, which are in demand throughout the year. Despite the choice to study one of the languages, the possibility of having contact with the two official languages ​​conquers the students. Also, some universities assign a large portion of their vacancies to foreigners. commented Cantamessa.

A great choice for your exchange, isn’t it? But be careful, when the subject is seen, some things may be different. Each country has its own entry rules for foreigners and visa types have their own peculiarities. For the student visa, for example, you must be accepted by an educational institution for a minimum period of 6 months.

“The tourist visa is compulsory for all Brazilians, whether in transit, on business or simply “tourism”. And, with a few exceptions, generally it allows a stay of up to 6 months. For those who want work in Canada, the visa is granted in a conventional way, and the exchange student must have a proven job offer. But, if you do not have this offer, the other way is to apply for the visa directly at the Canadian consulate”, concludes the director of Eagle Brasil.

Eagle Exchange is a startup located in Silicon Valley (California), being the first exchange agency entirely made by Brazilians in the region. With customers from different locations, the physical presence of the Eagle team in the United States and the partnership with Canadian schools, allows the company to provide real-time support to its students, understanding and identifying the needs of each of them. In this way, the startup is part of a select group of agencies, with one of the highest visa approval rates for Brazilian students, carrying in its trajectory until today more than 2000 students.
