Hello house, please your candid opinion is needed in helping a friend decide where between the US or canada he should accept for his PhD program.

He has been offered a fully funded PhD admission in Canada and in the US for January term of which he has successfully secured canada study visa for himself alone while hoping to apply to get his family over when he resume. While waiting for his flight date he received a kinda better offer (in his opinion) in the US for same 4 years PhD offer, so he is in a dilemma as to if he should go ahead to begin processing the US study visa which if yes, he will this time apply together with his family.

To our travel experts, he wish to know which of the 2 countries he should go considering the easy path to be absorbed after his program especially becoming a citizen and life generally in both countries.

Will appreciate your contributions.

Ask your friend very well, he knows what the best option is.

If he is interested in immigrating fully after his studies, then Canada will be a better option as it provides a clear path to citizenship unlike USA.
