Master’s abroad in 2026: UK, Canada, Australia or Germany?
09/18/2026
Canada cut its 2026 study permit cap to 408,000 — down 16% from 2024 — and the UK just shortened its Graduate Route from 24 to 18 months. Both happened at the same time, which means the cost-and-career equation for Indian master’s students looks meaningfully different today than it did a year ago. This comparison lays out what each destination actually costs in rupees, how long you can stay after graduating, what you can expect to earn, and what the path to permanent residence looks like.
