Education System

The Canadian government guarantees high academic standards in educational programs at all levels. Canada provides students with world-class global education from world-class professionals who can add valuable contacts and global marketing skills for the future. Besides being one of the centres of international studies, international students enjoy the following benefits while studying in Canada: 

  • Learn from excellent and brilliant mentors.
  • A warm welcome into the country.
  • World's best standard of living.
  • Economical cost of living and study.
  • Life-changing experiences.

Choice of higher educational institutes 

The broad and diverse nature of Canada's education system attracts many international students. The system provides quality interdisciplinary education at private and public institutions' undergraduate, postgraduate and doctorate levels. Nearly all programs use English as the medium of study, offering various study options for native speakers and opportunities for non-native speakers to improve their skills. In addition, most Canadian degree programs are taught in English, so students from non-native English-speaking countries must demonstrate language proficiency through TOEFL or IELTS exams.

Types of qualifications awarded

The length and structure of the program is determined by the international student, as it can directly affect employment eligibility and immigration opportunities in Canada.

Here are various qualifications awarded by the Canadian government:

  • Colleges and Applied Arts and Technology colleges offer Certificates and Diplomas.
  • Universities award Bachelor, Masters, and PhD degrees.
  • Accredited public colleges award Bachelors degrees and a small selection of graduate Certificates and Diplomas.
  • Many universities also offer Postgraduate Certificate and Diploma programs.
