Canada is one of the countries with the most modern education system in the world. Students from 5 to 18 years old in this country are completely exempted from tuition fees. In addition, the Canadian government has a lot of programs and policies to reward, reduce or refund tuition fees for students in this country.

Enjoy the policy of universal health

Canada's universal healthcare system is fully covered by the government. Under this system, Canadians are provided with care, disease prevention, basic medical treatment as well as payment for hospital fees, dental surgery and other medical services.

Keeping dual citizenship, ensuring freedom and democracy of both countries
