Education Opportunities in Canada

Updated: July 4th, 2024

Canada is globally recognized for both its education system for children ages 6-18 and higher education establishments such as colleges and universities. All Canadian public schools employ only government-certified teachers and are publicly funded, where free education is available to Canadian citizens and permanent residents. Additionally, Canadian high school diplomas are internationally recognized.

Canada ranked as the fourth best country in the world for the level of its education system on a global scale in 2022 and has ranked in the top 5 since 2016. In 2022, Canada ranked higher than other tier 1 countries, such as France, Sweden, and Switzerland, just to name a few of its biggest competitors.

 

Many of Canada’s college and university graduates advance to participating in hands-on learning opportunities like internships, clinical placements, practicums, and co-op placements. Moreover, nearly 200 of the world’s most highly cited researchers are from Canada, making the latter the sixth country with the most cited researchers globally.

Whether you are a student interested in pursuing an advanced degree or a parent looking for great schooling options, the Great White North truly has it all.

 

FAQ

What is the pool?
To be included in the pool you must qualify for one of the specific immigration programs listed under Express Entry. You must also score a minimum of 67 points on your immigration profile. Points are awarded for educational and professional qualifications, work experience, age, language ability, and more. The Canadian government selects the most suitable candidates from the pool and issues them with an official invitation (known as ITA) to become Canadian residents.
How many points do I need to get selected?
The Express Entry system uses what it called the Comprehensive Ranking System, a formula that takes into account your education, skills and experience, those of your husband/wife or partner, and whether you have a specific job offer. These factors go to build up your score out of a possible maximum of 1200. As mentioned, the higher the points you score, the greater the possibility to be selected from the pool.
How long does it take to move to Canada?
The idea of starting a new life in Canada is very exciting. But please be prepared that getting selected for an immigration program takes time. This is why the Express Entry program is extremely popular - the Canadian government aims to select candidates within 6 months. Time may significantly vary between immigration programs; the individual process of each program, government policies, the complexity of your case, and more, may affect the time it would take you to move to Canada.
Are there any goverment fees?
Like many other countries worldwide the Canadian government charges fees for the processing of immigration entries. Depending on the specific program you entered, the size and age of your family, and more – you may need a few hundred to several thousand Canadian dollars. Please note that all government fees are non-refundable. This is one of many reasons you should prepare well for your immigration process, gain as much knowledge as you can, and if possible, seek help from professionals in this field.
