| Main intake months | Trimester 1, February, July, Semester 1 | September, January |
| Climate | Australia has varied climates: tropical conditions in the north, temperate conditions in the southeast and drier inland regions. Melbourne has warm summers, cool winters and changeable weather, so students should budget for seasonal clothing and heating. | Canada has sharply distinct regional climates. Ontario and the Atlantic provinces experience four full seasons — winters range from −10°C to −25°C and summers reach 25–35°C. British Columbia is milder, with wet winters and warm dry summers. Alberta is dry and cold in winter. All Canadian university cities are equipped for winter living — heated campuses, indoor pathways, and transit systems ensure students adapt quickly. |
Australia
Australia is an English-speaking study destination with public universities, vocational providers and research institutions across major cities and regional centres. International students should compare course-level entry rules, subject-based tuition, living costs, health cover and the current student-visa requirements before accepting an offer.
Admission process
Canada
Canada is one of the world's most accessible destinations for Indian nursing students. CASN-accredited four-year BScN programs are taught entirely in English, and graduates enter the CNO registration and NCLEX-RN pathway as Canadian-educated nurses — a structural advantage over internationally educated nurses competing for the same RN licences.
Admission process
Australia
Students choose Australia for English-medium higher education, a wide range of undergraduate and graduate courses, applied learning and a multicultural student environment. The right choice depends on the exact institution, course, campus, tuition model, accommodation plan and visa conditions rather than on country-level claims.

Canada
The combination of English-medium education, globally recognised CASN accreditation, and a Post-Graduation Work Permit that opens Express Entry healthcare draws makes Canada the leading destination for Indian nursing students with long-term settlement ambitions. Healthcare draws in 2024–25 cleared at CRS scores of 462–476, meaning a BScN graduate with Canadian work experience has a realistic permanent residency timeline of three to five years after graduation.
