Different Levels of Education in Canada
Canada has a few different types of schools for different ages and goals. Here’s a quick explanation:
University (Adults):
- Universities offer degrees called “Bachelor’s degrees” (usually 4 years).
- After a Bachelor’s, you can get more advanced degrees like a “Master’s” or a “Doctorate” (PhD).
College and Vocational Programs (Adults):
- Colleges offer shorter programs (1-3 years) that focus on job skills.
- Vocational schools teach specific trades like construction or hairstyling.
Elementary and Secondary School (Children and Teenagers):
- Most children in Canada start school in “Kindergarten” around the age of 5.
- “Elementary school” teaches the basics for younger students.
- “Secondary school” or “high school” is for teenagers and prepares them for university or work.
How to Apply to Schools in Canada
Applying to schools in Canada might feel a bit different than in your home country. Here are the basics:
General Requirements

Academic transcripts: These are your school records, showing the courses you’ve taken and your grades.
Finding the Right Program

Talk to educational consultants: Companies like IMM Study can give personalized advice on schools and programs.
The Application Process
Follow the school’s instructions: Each school has its own application process and deadlines.

Be aware of application fees: Some schools charge a fee to process your application.
Getting Ready to Come to Canada
Once you’ve been accepted to a school, there’s more to do! Planning your move to Canada is exciting, but takes preparation.
Choosing where to live: Consider student housing, apartments, or homestays with a Canadian family.
Budgeting: Canada can be expensive. Make a plan for your living costs (rent, food, etc.) and tuition fees.
