Personal Interests: To start with, you can look into yourself. What subjects do you love to read, and what fields interest you? You can set your career goals and shortlist those courses that match your career goals.
Program Quality: Another thing to look for is the quality of the program. You can check this by researching the university's reputation. Also, you can look for experienced and qualified faculty members in your field. Further, you should see the availability of resources such as libraries, laboratories, and more.
Program Cost: After program quality, you should also check the cost of the program. For this, you need to consider your budget. If it's exceeding your budget, you can look for scholarships for Indian students in Canada.

MBA Courses in Canada

MBA has always been the number one choice for studying abroad, and an MBA in Canada can open an array of opportunities for international students to work. Most MBA aspirants look for international work experience, mainly a decent job.

Not that often do the job categories of post-MBA get listed on the skill shortage occupation lists in foreign countries. But things are changing now. Management Consulting, Investment Finance, and banking jobs are now under the skill shortage category in Canada.

MBA graduates specializing in Analytics or Big data are also in extreme demand due to the growing digitalization, big data boom, and automation.

An MBA degree gives you broader and better career opportunities and exposure to a diverse business network, new skills and knowledge, and a comprehensive overview of the business world. Approximately 40% of the CEOs of Fortune 500 companies hold an MBA degree, which is one of the most sought-after degrees in the last fifty years.

The most in-demand jobs in this category in Canada are:

Biological Sciences
Nursing

Psychology & Human Resources Courses

Employers are always interested in recruiting talented and skilled workers. However, the hiring and remuneration of these professionals is always a challenge for companies globally.

Hence, counseling psychologists, career advisers, industrial psychologists and HR professionals are in huge demand worldwide. Industrial (and organizational) psychology mainly focuses on individuals and their relationships at the workplace, which includes employee safety, employee training, job analysis, job performance measurement, and employee hiring systems.

Various other courses are very popular in Canada and offer great career opportunities globally.
