When contemplating to study abroad, the first destination that one recalls is the United States of America. The country has remained as the most favoured nation when considering a master’s programme in engineering studies by most students and parents alike.
At one point, it was a matter of prestige for students to further their engineering studies from this specific country.
While the country still remains a favourite, recent trends have witnessed a good number of students exploring other countries as well.
While looking at these countries, they weigh their options on long term benefits from studying in such universities and their career prospects.
Today, with visa norms becoming an issue with many developed nations, students have to consider and ponder their destination before investing a sizeable amount in their education abroad.

We explore here some of the newer study abroad destinations for engineering students that are career friendly:
1. Canada
This country sure has a special place next only to the US as a favourite destination to further the engineering studies abroad. The growth in the number of international students studying in Canada has seen a steady ascend, compared to previous years.
This can be accredited to the political changes in the US with its narrative around strict policies against migration to the US. Traditionally, Canada has some really good universities and when exploring options apart from the USA, Canada offers a very good deal.
An easy route to PR along with academically strong universities has pushed Canada forward as a favourite study abroad destination for engineering. It costs much less compared to studying in the US
