Scholarships for Studying in Canada
Scholarships are available to students who meet specific criteria. The most important factor is your academic score, but it also depends on your destination, subject choice, extracurricular activities, and volunteer work. We recommend starting the scholarship process 8–12 months before your preferred intake begins, especially when excellent funding opportunities are available.
Scholarships are great ways to fund your education, but they're not easy to secure. The process can be complicated and time-consuming. Shiv Overseas — the best Canada student visa consultant in Ahmedabad — has expert tips to help you stand out from other scholarship seekers and maximise your chances of success.

Once you receive your Canada student visa, our support doesn't stop there. We want your experience in Canada to be as smooth as possible — from the day you land to settling in your new home. Our team hosts dedicated pre-departure briefings that give you a head start on your journey.
These briefings cover everything you need to know before you fly: accommodation, banking, local transportation, cultural adjustments, and more. Our students don't just arrive — they thrive. Shiv Overseas walks with you at every step.
Working in Canada as an International Student
Working as an international student in Canada is an excellent opportunity, but it comes with certain rules:
- Work up to 20 hours per week during academic sessions
- Full-time work is permitted during scheduled vacations
- Income is taxable like any Canadian resident
- Scholarships and assistantships from universities may also be subject to provincial taxes
Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP)
Canadian employers love to hire international graduates. The Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) gives you up to 3 years of work authorization in Canada after completing your studies. Canadian work experience gained through PGWP can help qualify you for Permanent Residency (PR) through Canada's Express Entry system.
Shiv Overseas — the best Canada student visa consultant in Ahmedabad — guides you on how to make the most of PGWP and build your dream life in Canada.
