One thing is certain, your time in Canada is going to be something you’ll never forget! What’s waiting for you?
The Education System For Students In Canada
Canada is making a huge investment in the educational system. In reality, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, Canada is one of the world’s best educational performers and among the top three countries in per capita spending on public post-secondary education (OECD).
In Canada, the system of tertiary education is divided into:
- Level of the certificate, usually for a year
- Diploma standard, for a year or two,
- Advanced Diploma, two or three-year programs in general
- Bachelor’s degrees, awarded after four full-time research years,
- For one or two years of study, postgraduate diplomas/certificates
- Master’s Degrees, available for one to two years after a bachelor’s degree to excel in a certain subject,
- Doctorate, typically four to seven years, or PhD
Prospects of employment
Job privileges are open to foreign students in Canada while studying and even upon completion of a degree or diploma.
During the studies
New rules for foreign students were recently announced by Canada. Students in Canada do not need to apply for a separate work visa to work off-campus as of June 2014 and are free to work as soon as their study program starts. For all types of students, Canada offers comprehensive job and career opportunities. A cooperative education program is provided by several institutions in Canada. This is a standardized curriculum where learners alternate between work and study periods. This integrated program is accomplished through educational institution-industry collaboration.
After completion of graduation
International graduates from Canadian institutions of higher education will have the ability to serve for up to three years in Canada after the completion of their degree.
A country that is multicultural
Canada has welcomed 15 million immigrants in the past century and a half. Over one million Aboriginal people, including First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples, still reside in Canada. Canada has a national multicultural strategy that aims to ensure that the practices and values of individuals are protected and valued.
Degrees recognized worldwide
Hundreds of thousands of foreign students attend colleges and universities in Canada each year. In the world, their degrees are regarded as equal to those earned from the United States or countries of the Commonwealth. For both degrees and diplomas in academic and vocational fields, Canada boasts a wide variety of quality educational institutions.
Canadian universities are mindful of students’ safety on their campuses. There is 24-hour campus security at most universities and colleges. ‘Walk Safe’ initiatives have been initiated by the Canadian government to help students use public transport safely late in the evening. Each province or territory operates its own health care system in Canada, which covers the expense of visits to hospitals and doctors by Canadian citizens. For foreign students, nearly all Canadian tertiary institutions have medical insurance policies available.
