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. 

Fee range in local currency (Canadian Dollars)

The University fee range in Canada varies depending on the type and place of study:

  • High school programs: 13000-14000 CAD per year for private schools and 7000-8000 CAD per semester for public schools.
  • Diploma programs: 10000 CAD -15000 CAD per year.
  • Bachelor's or Master's program: 15000 CAD - 20000 CAD per year
  • English as a Second Language (ESL) program: This is designed for students to want to study or improve their English language. The fee range is 3000-4000 CAD per semester.

In addition to tuition fees, students are also expected to pay additional fees such as library fees, student fees, student ID fees, student activity fees, books, and special supplies for college courses.

EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES AFTER COMPLETION OF A DEGREE

On receiving a Canadian degree, students can either seek other postgraduate degrees or apply for work experience, which will grant them a work permit to start a career in their prospective field.

Students are offered residence and employment opportunities for up to 3 years if they fulfil the following requirements:

  • Be a full-time degree student.
  • Have a diploma/degree from a public or private institution in Canada.
  • Have a work permit (for 90 days after you have received your diploma or degree).
