| Climate | 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. |
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
Japan
Japan combines national universities, specialist institutions and research-led graduate schools across engineering, science, medicine, business, law, public policy and the humanities. International applicants should compare the language of instruction, faculty-level admissions route, entrance examinations, tuition and visa requirements for each programme.
Admission process
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.

Japan
Students choose Japan for a broad public-university system, advanced research facilities, strong industry-linked study and a mix of Japanese-medium and English-medium options. International routes vary substantially: some programmes are fully English-taught, while many regular undergraduate and graduate programmes require Japanese ability or faculty-specific examination and supervisor arrangements.
