How do you select a country for your foreign education?

1.       Do you want a PR? First of all, you should consider your long-term goal of settling. Do you wish to settle permanently after studying abroad or would you be alright returning to your home country after your education? It is very important to consider because in a few countries the post-study work permit is limited to a year for certain streams of courses after which you cannot stay there legally. So, if you are unable to find the right employment that is ready to sponsor you for your legal work status, either you will have to return or you will need to apply for another course. Then, there are countries which give you ample time to look for work after studies and their permanent resident status is based on points that you accumulate based on your education, language proficiency and work status in that country. So, you must avoid those countries where the post-study visa status is precarious.

2.      Economic situation. Of course, you must also consider the status of economy of that country and potential status of economy in the future to assess whether it will be a good decision to settle there after your studies.

3.      Employment opportunities. Another very important factor is the employment and internship opportunities in the field you are going to study. Choose a country where your desired field of study has a flourishing industry to support you in practical learning opportunities during and after your studies.

4.      Part-time work option. Also, if you wish to work along with your studies, you must consider the option of part-time work options. Some countries do not allow you to work off the university campus, so it can be very challenging to find work in the university with so many students looking for a limited number of work opportunities.
