Post-Secondary Education
In Canada, Post-Secondary institutions are the following:
- Colleges
- Universities
- Private Career Colleges
- Vocational and Technical Schools
Needless to say, not only could receiving world-class education and earning a Canadian degree/diploma/certificate open up numerous opportunities in Canada, few people, anywhere in the world, could compete with those who have received Canadian education.
Colleges and Vocational/Technical Schools are for those who would like to receive career-oriented education and acquire the skills necessary to start their career as soon as possible. The length of their programs is generally between 1 to 4 years and the average tuition fees which must be paid by International Students are usually CAD 15,000 to CAD 18000 per annum. Starting at these institutions requires an academic IELTS score of 6 to 6.5 or the equivalent scores in other recognized exams.
Those who are interested in a more in depth and often theoretical training usually opt for Universities. Depending on the universities and programs, the tuition fees could be anywhere between $10,000 and $40,000. Gaining admission to universities calls for a higher level of English/French proficiency, which is often a minimum IELTS score of 6.5 and 7 for undergraduate programs and Master’s/Doctoral level Programs respectively.
