My love of biology started in high school. We had young and enthusiastic teachers, who took us on field trips and visits. They made sure we did as much practical work as was feasible and demonstrated experiments that we could do ourselves. They also encouraged us to read. I remember the impact of the reading “The Big Bang Theory” had on me. Since, then I made up my mind to join medical stream as my future educational option.

So I want to study abroad.

Before choosing Canada I also searched for medical education available in Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, America and Europe. I preferred Canada over these options due to following reasons:
First, there are already around 47,000 Indian doctors practicing in the US and around 25,000 in the UK and my intention is just to study and then practice my profession in India.

Third, Canadian schools are spotless and are transparent as they do not indulge in unscrupulous activities. Fourth, the visa policy is smooth and less complex for Canada than for other countries.
Socially, the country has safe and diverse cultural environment, with low crime rates and zero poverty. Environmentally, the environment of the country is neat and clean and there is no pollution and dust seen. In addition to it, the weather is also suitable for me as I am used to extreme and chilly winters of Punjab.
