Canada has long been known as a country with a high quality of life in the world, because of its well-established education system. Its environment is simple and the crime rate is low, so parents can rest assured to send their students to study abroad.
Canada does not have a national examination, each province and territory has its own education and admission system and admission assessment. It also includes previous on-campus academic performance. To reduce the pressure of students to face public exams, students often perform better in this environment. Canadian schools charge lower tuition fees for international students than similar schools in other countries, while maintaining excellent educational quality, attracting many students to further study and immigrate to employment.
Primary and secondary schools in Canada are all under the jurisdiction of the provincial education bureau, and generally have a total of 12 years of schooling. Primary school is from Year 1 to Year 6, and secondary school is from Year 7 to Year 12. Secondary schools in Canada are mainly divided into two types: public and private. Generally, public secondary schools do not have boarding. Overseas students must apply for a homestay program, and the school will arrange for the students to live in Canadian families.
Students do not need to take public exams until they have completed 12th class. As long as you participate in the province secondary school graduation examination or internal assessment before completing the 12th class during high school, and complete the credits, you can apply for the first year of university. Students who have completed classes 11 or 12 can also apply for UTP1/UTP2 (University Transfer Program 1/University Transfer Program 2). UTP1 is a university preparatory course. After completing UTP1, students can directly enter the first year of university. After completing UTP2, you can directly enter the second year of the university.
In addition, vocational training courses provide a comprehensive range of faculties, including fine arts, business, engineering and various types of vocational training courses. The duration of study varies from one to three years. Students only need to study for two years in such colleges, and after graduation, they transfer to university courses and apply for admission to the second or third year of the university.
Canadian bachelor degrees are generally four years, and some provinces also offer three-year bachelor degree programs. A master degree is one to two years, and a doctoral degree is two to four years.
