● Intakes
International students are expected to start preparing for their studies in Canada 1 year in advance. The major intake for Canada primarily is ‘Fall’ i.e. September. The other intake is in the month of ‘Winter’ i.e. January, but it depends on the student’s program and the institution that he/she is applying to. Very few institutes might have the May intake as well.

● Primary and secondary schools:
Schools that teach students up to the grade 12 level are known as primary and secondary schools. Primary usually means grades 1 to 8 and secondary usually means grades 9 to 12. All primary and secondary schools in Canada can enroll international students.

● Post-secondary schools (universities, colleges, vocational schools, CEGEPs)
Post-secondary schools are
◆ colleges
◆ universities
◆ private career colleges
◆ vocational and technical schools
Each post-secondary school has its own set of rules on how to apply, including the level of English or French you need to be accepted.

● Study permit
If the school admits you as a student, they will send you an acceptance letter. You need this letter to apply for a study permit.If you apply for a study permit and your letter of acceptance is from an institution that is not a designated institution for international students, your application will be refused.

∆ Health insurance:
The Government of Canada does not pay for the medical costs of foreign students. Health coverage for foreign students varies between provinces. Contact the Axiom to receive more information about medical coverage and health insurance.

We focus on helping students reach their full potential and succeed in their chosen career paths even after they graduate. Students who study abroad are often afraid that they may not be able to pick up the language, get around the town easily, or adapt to the learning setting they are placed in.

We are open to communication and ready to clarify any information about your study in Canada according to your wishes. Feel free to ask any questions.
