If it is IT and management in the USA, engineering in Germany and fashion in France, then it's animation in Canada. It is not only among the top three countries in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), but Canada is also ranked as the number one country in the world to live in. 1,80,000 international students study in Canada each year. There are 10,00,000 Canadians of Indian origin who have made the country their home and approximately 5-7000 Indian students pursuing their education in Canada at the moment. A degree from a Canadian university is recognised world-wide and as a result, international students who graduate from Canadian universities enjoy successful and prosperous careers.

The popular courses
A course that has witnessed a growing interest is, of course, animation and multimedia. In fact, alumni of Canadian institutes have produced films like Jurassic Park, The Mask, Terminator II - Judgement Day. Sixty per cent of the animation technology in Hollywood comes from Canada. Many Canadian institutions are internationally recognised for their excellence in this field, making Canada an obvious destination for students pursuing animation and graphic design.

The leading institutes offering this course are: Sheridan College, Infocast Digital Arts, Vancouver Film School, Humber, Algonquin College and many more community colleges. Graphic Design is at times offered as part of the Fine Arts programme. Students, when focussing on this programme, will find it is being offered primarily at a community college, rather than at a university.

However, traditionally, Indian students like to pursue Business, Computer Science/Information Technology, and Engineering in Canada. There is also a substantial interest in Hospitality and Tourism, Media and Communication Studies, Biotechnology/Bio-infomatics.
