Higher Education Structure in Canada.
Education system in Canada is among the best in the world. Although education institutions are not officially ranked in Canada but you will find quality institutions across the country. Universities are internationally knownfor the quality of teaching and research they provide to local and international students. Degrees from Canadian universities are considered to be equivalent to those from American and other Commonwealth universities.
Canada has a large selection of universities and university colleges located in both urban and rural settings in every region of the country. Canadian universities are largely publicly funded; as a result they are of a consistently high quality, regardless of location or area of study. If you are interested in a particular area of study, investigate which schools have more to offer in that discipline.
The time period of Education in Canadian Universities starting from September to May. Some universities are on a semester or trimester system, with all courses available even in the summer. There is no Canada-wide entrance test: each university sets its own admission standards and assesses the qualifications of each applicant individually.
To qualify for a degree program at most English-speaking universities, students for whom English is not a first language must have passed an English examination test. The TOEFL is commonly accepted but Canadian universities often have their own tests for students and also accept other English examination tests such as the IELTS.

Types of Qualification in Canada Education System:
- Certificate is a qualification awarded upon successful completion of a programme which is usually one- year in length, and is offered at colleges.
- Diploma is the qualification awarded on the basis of one or two year’s successful study, and is offered at colleges.
- Undergraduate/bachelors degrees are awarded by a university after four years of full-time study, and lead to graduate level studies
- Graduate/post graduate degrees lead to advanced degrees, diplomas and certificates. A pre-requisite to participate in graduate studies is a bachelors/undergraduate degree (4 years).
- M.B.A. programmes will typically require a minimum of two to three years of relevant work experience, GMAT score of 580-600, TOEFL score of 560-600, and a 4 year degree, and are generally 2 years in duration, though a few institutes offer a fast track option.
- Doctorate or Ph.D. is a degree ranking above a master’s degree, and generally requires four to seven years to complete full time. A combination of course work, original research, and a thesis is required. Prerequisites are typically a master’s degree, although direct entry from a bachelor’s degree to a Ph.D. programme may be possible depending on the school and programme. Minimum high-B grade in Canada (high 70’s) is required; where relevant, demonstrated research competence equivalent to at least a B+ grade; at least two academic letters of reference; and other qualifications as specified, ie., TOEFL, GRE general and or subject test
- Post-doctoral programmes are much more specialized, research oriented programmes. One of the most important factors in granting post-doctorate fellowships is the personal network established between the interested applicant and the faculty member within the institution.
