Want to study in Australia? A Guide For Canadian Students

October 18, 2023BY Anindita Banerjee

Study in Australia

Planning to study in Australia?

Embarking on a journey of higher education is an exciting venture, and the world is your classroom. Australia emerges as a beacon of opportunity for Canadian students seeking an enriching and transformative experience. From world-class education institutions to breathtaking landscapes, there are compelling reasons why the Land Down Under is an ideal destination for those eager to broaden their academic and cultural horizons.

Why should Canadians study in Australia?

Canada and Australia have several formal and informal agreements when it comes to education. The majority of partnerships include research and academic collaboration in areas from medicine to law and applied mathematics.

Australian and Canadian universities and their students have benefitted in many ways from such initiatives. Partnerships include PhD and student visits, individual researchers, co-publication by professors and collaboration between staff to develop formal international student exchange programs.

Shorter Course Time:

Healthcare – If you’re interested in Healthcare, consider Australia as a better option! In Canada, becoming a healthcare professional can take 8 years or more. However, in Australia, you will need to stay in a medical school for only 5 years and then start your healthcare journey as a professional!

Nursing – To become a nurse in Australia, one must study for around 3-4 years. However, in Canada, it takes almost 4-6 years or more to enter nursing.

Lawyer – To become a lawyer in Australia, it takes only 3-4 years. However, in Canada to start practicing law, one must go through a lengthy process of almost 6-7 years. 

Faster Visa Processing:

With the current backlogs, Canada is lagging behind when it comes to visa processing time. However, it’s not the same for Australia. The visa processing time for student, work, and even permanent residency in Australia is much faster and thus less hassle!

Which universities have these partnerships?

The University of Newcastle and the University of Calgary successfully applied for a Discovery Project Grant from the Australian Research Council, while the University of Canberra and Trent University received a Social Science and Humanities Research Grant from the Canadian Government to support their studies in social and cultural anthropology.

Along with these, there are several other universities that also welcome Canadian students.

How to get your Australian Student Visa?

Canadian students must get a student visa (subclass 500) to study in Australia. You must prove that you’ve been accepted to a university and proof of health insurance, which the government calls overseas student health cover (OSHC).

Once your visa is approved, you can stay in Australia for the duration of your course (maximum five years) and travel in and out of Australia. You can also work up to 48 hours a fortnight while your course of study is in session. Students who have started a master’s degree by research or a Doctoral degree have no work hour limits.

Courses students can take up in Australia

Choosing a program of study in Australia depends on your interests, career goals, and the skills you want to acquire. This country is known for its high-quality education system, and it offers a wide range of programs at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Here are some fields which are very popular among Canadians which you can consider taking a step towards:

  • Medicine
  • Law
  • Physiotherapy
  • Nursing
  • STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math)
  • Teaching
  • Dentistry

Working in Australia after you graduate

Once you have graduated from your course in Australia, you can apply for a Temporary Graduate visa (Subclass 485). You can apply for the visa under Graduate Work Stream which lets you stay Up to 18 months in Australia and work.

However, applicants who have graduated with a Bachelor’s degree or higher may wish to consider the Post-Study Work Stream which is more appropriate. You can usually stay between 2 and 4 years, depending on your qualifications. Applicants with a select degree may be eligible for an extended 2 years on their visa.

Other options for Canadians:
