Quick takeaway

Check official sources before trusting any consultant or social post.

Parents usually do not need hype. They need a calm way to check whether the Romania route is real, cheaper for the right reasons, documented properly, and honest about Canada recognition. This article is a due-diligence checklist before spending money.

Trust checks

Start with official-source proof, not sales language.

A credible Romania study plan should point back to official university pages, Study in Romania resources, MCC or NDEB recognition pages, and World Directory checks where relevant.

If someone promises guaranteed admission, guaranteed visa approval, guaranteed residence permit approval, or guaranteed Canadian licensure, treat that as a serious warning sign.

  • Ask what official source supports each claim.
  • Ask what is included and what is not included.
  • Ask what happens after payment.
  • Ask how private documents are handled.

Cost checks

Lower tuition matters, but only inside the full route.

UMF Craiova lists 2026/2027 Medicine in English at 8,500 euro per year and Dental Medicine in English at 6,500 euro per year. Those numbers are useful, but they are not the total cost of studying abroad.

Parents should also check rent, food, transport, travel, documents, translations, visa/residence planning, insurance, exchange rate movement, and first-month setup.

Recognition checks

Ask the Canada-return question before the student applies.

For medicine, parents should understand World Directory, Canada Sponsor Note, MCC services, exams, residency realities, and provincial rules. For dentistry, parents should read the NDEB route for graduates of non-accredited dental programs.

The point is not to scare students away. The point is to make the decision adult, realistic, and documented.

  • Medicine: MCC and World Directory checks.
  • Dentistry: NDEB route checks.
  • Visa/residence: official Romanian guidance.
  • Support packages: private scope and final-sale terms.

FAQ

Quick answers

What should parents check first?

Start with official university, visa, recognition, and cost sources before trusting private advice.

Is StudyROM an official university agent?

No. StudyROM is independent student-built guidance, not an admissions office, embassy, immigration consultant, or licensing body.

Should parents ask about refunds?

Yes. Paid private digital support should have clear final-sale and scope wording before payment.
