A Canadian degree, diploma or certificate is recognized as being equivalent to a US degree/diploma/certificate.

A Safe Place To Study

Canadian Education System
In Canada, there are publicly funded and private schools including community colleges/ technical institutes, career colleges, language schools, secondary schools, summer camps, universities and university colleges. Different provinces follow different education systems.

Under the Canadian system, it isn’t necessary for children to attend kindergarten. Children who do attend kindergarten usually start at the age of four or five. All children begin Grade One (first standard in many countries) at about six years of age. The academic year normally runs from September through the following June. Secondary schools go up to Grades 11 or 12, depending on the province. Once they have completed their secondary education, students may attend university or college.

If you are an international student and you want to study in Canada, you may require a temporary resident visa and a study permit. Quebec-bound students need to obtain a CAQ (Quebec Application Certificate). You may also require other documents depending on your country of origin and the type and length of study.

No study permit is required if the study program you opted for lasts for less than six months. Programs longer than six months require a study permit.

If you will be studying in a program of six months or less, but intend to continue your studies in another program after this short-term program is completed, you should apply for a study permit before you come to Canada. If you do not have a valid study permit and wish to continue your studies, you will have to leave Canada in order to apply for one.

Later, European map producers simplified it to “Canada” to identify all the land north of the St. Lawrence River. In 1965, the nation adopted the red and white flag with the maple leaf as their official flag. It was In 1867 when Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia formed a confederation, and on July 1, 1867, the British North America Act declared Canada a country. Here in Canada, education is administered, supported and managed by federal, provincial, and local governments. It’s system is within provincial jurisdiction and the curriculum is overseen by the province. Allow me to discuss the levels of education in Canada.   Generally, it is divided into three major stages:  First is the Elementary Level which comprises the Primary and the Public School, then we have the Secondary or  the High School and finally, the Post Secondary, which can either be in the University or in a  College. Each province has district school boards carrying out the educational programs under the ministry of education.   Education is imperative up to an age of 16. For each year, Canada primarily has 190 school days (of course notwithstanding the cancellation of classes due to weather disruptions or insurgences. The classes officially opens at September which is after Labour Day and ends on June which is usually the last Friday of the month, while it is on a Wednesday in the Catholic Schools of Ontario. Most Canadian education systems continue up to grade twelve which normally have the ages seventeen to eighteen. In Quebec, the typical high school term ends after Secondary V, the same as to grade eleven which falls under the ages sixteen to seventeen; following this, students who wish to continue their studies to the university level are required to turn up in the CEGEP (A French acronym which stands for Collège d’enseignement général et professionnel which means: “College of General and Vocational Education”).   Sources: _________________1.     Education In Canada: Internet page: http://en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Education_in_Canada.
