. Should I go abroad to study or immigrate?
In many people’s intuitive impression, it is believed that applying for study abroad is more time-saving than applying for immigration. But the actual situation is not the case. You can enjoy almost the same benefits as citizens when applying for immigration. You have more advantages and higher cost-effectiveness after obtaining immigration status.
If you want to go to a good school, the admission rate is a level
Some popular majors in many famous European schools do not recruit international students or have very few places, and the admission rate of most majors is less than 20%. If you have an immigration status, you can choose many well-known schools and popular majors that are not open to international students.
From elementary school to university, the tuition fee is much less than
Most European countries, such as Spain, Greece, Portugal, Italy, free public education is implemented from elementary school to junior high school or high school, and both citizens and immigrants can enjoy it. The fees at the university level are also much lower than those at international students, and some scholarships are only for students with national status.
Accumulate social experience in higher education
Generally speaking, many countries strictly restrict international students from working, and even if they have, there are fewer opportunities and low rewards. Students with immigration status are not restricted and can work during college vacations, and the salary is relatively high. They also have the opportunity to intern in well-known companies and accumulate important work experience.
Job search direction and job opportunities after graduation
has no local identity, and it is very difficult for international students to stay and work locally after graduation. The stability of job seekers is a factor that must be considered by employers. Work visas are generally not given for a long time. Work visas in many major countries are renewed every year. If there is a problem with the visa, they can only return to China immediately. In order to avoid such risks, of course, hiring people with status is preferred.
fundamentally solves the problem of parents accompanying them to study
International students are inevitably faced with emergencies abroad, and parents cannot visit and take care of them in time. After applying for immigration, both the child and the parents have identities, and parents can quickly come to their children to care and companionship at this time. Immigration status allows parents to come and go freely and conveniently between their place of residence and their children's schooling location, which is conducive to the parent-child relationship and fundamentally solves the problem of accompanying students without additional visa application.
To sum up, immigrating first and studying abroad is a very wise choice. Maybe you have plans to send your child to study abroad and have not thought carefully yet, and have been thinking: "Your child will go abroad to go to college after high school." In fact, when a child passes through high school, you will find some problems. For example, judging from the children's past learning experience, they have not learned language very well. Some children don't even like to learn language very much. After all, learning language requires talent, and not everyone can learn language well.
When studying abroad, language is a very critical issue, especially in the higher education stage, many children's pronunciation has taken shape. If the child is not sensitive to language at this time, it may be possible that he can only listen to a little bit of an understanding in class, and writing a paper will be particularly difficult.
In this regard, while tailoring immigration to customers, Europe Immigration also provides everyone with high-quality educational plans. It plans different study routes for children based on different starting points such as kindergartens, primary schools, and junior high schools. By immigrating first and then studying abroad, Chinese parents can plan a better overseas study path!
