INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

Canada is a North American country consisting of ten provinces and three territories. Located in the northern part of the continent, it extends from the Atlantic to the Pacific and northward into the Arctic Ocean. Canada is the world’s second-largest country by total area, and its common border with the United States is the world’s longest land border.

Canada is a federal state governed as a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy, with Queen Elizabeth II as its head of state. The country is officially bilingual and multicultural at the federal level, with a population of approximately 35 million as of 2013. Canada’s advanced economy is one of the largest in the world, relying chiefly upon its abundant natural resources and well-developed trade networks, especially with the United States, with which it has had a long and complex relationship.

WHY STUDY IN CANADA

WHY STUDY IN CANADA

Canada is an increasingly popular alternative to the United States, UK students who want the quality of a North American university education.

Canada is a truly multicultural nation with – away from the prairies – a very different culture in comparison with the US.
Canadian universities are far more like their counterparts in the UK than across the border and standards are uniformly high.

Four Canadian universities are in the Top 100 of the 2011 QS World University Rankings: McGill University (17); University of Toronto (23); the University of British Columbia (51); and the University of Alberta (100).
Quebec is proudly bilingual and, although McGill University is English language, a good knowledge of French or a willingness to learn will be an asset in the vibrant city of Montreal.

Education is a provincial responsibility under the Canadian constitution, which means there are significant differences between the education systems of the different provinces. However, education is important to Canadians, and standards across the country are uniformly high.

High Quality Education

Education institutions are not officially ranked in Canada, but you will find quality institutions across the country. When choosing your school in Canada, consider the type, size and location of the institution.
