The Canadian System of Education

As per the Canadian constitution, Education is a provincial responsibility. Thus, there are considerable differences between the education systems of different Canadian provinces. But still, the standards throughout the country are uniformly high.

Post-secondary education is offered by four types of educational institutions.

Universities: Canadian Universities are mainly public-funded. Thus, high-quality education is available for international students at lower tuition fees, as compared to their competing counterparts.

University Colleges: The University Colleges are integrated with the Canadian University System. They offer students a choice of either academic-oriented university degree programmes or the more practical-oriented college diplomas and certificates.

Community colleges and technical institutes: They offer more vocational-oriented curriculum with small classes, off-campus course offerings, better laboratory and classroom space and an interactive teaching approach. Individuality to the Canadian colleges is offered by the combination of different employer-centered curriculum.

Technical/ Career College: This is a privately-owned and operated college. Their prime intent is to prepare the students for the job market after a short period of instructions. They emphasize more on practical expertise over a broad range of programmes.
