One of the national characteristics of Canadians is to obtain a quality education. Canada, currently, has about 90 universities.

As well as in many other countries, Canada’s schools are divided into public and private. A specific feature of the education system in Canada are regional differences of the educational process, regulated by local governments, which, however, does not affect the overall quality of teaching.
The higher education system in Canada has three levels:
- primary higher (Undergratuate) – a three-year training, after which awarded the degree of Bachelor
- Workshops Program (Graduate) – durations of 1-2 years
- Doctorate (Postgraduade) c assignment steperni PhD (PhD), duration of training for four years supply.
Foreign students could theoretically come to Canadian universities after graduation. However, in practice, to get into university right after high school is difficult. It is better to go to college at the primary program, and then move directly to the second or third year of university. This path is very popular among Canadians themselves. It is also important and the fact that a college degree allows a foreigner to work for a year. Jobs that do not require qualification is outside the university or campus – cleaner, messenger, waiter, peddler, the most popular college degree.
To be admitted to the University must submit a certificate of proficiency in a foreign language (TOEFL-score of 550, IELTS-6 points). Canada offers bilingual education in English and French. Teaching is conducted in French in Quebec. It is necessary to present a certificate DALF \ DELF. In the provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brensvik, Ontario and Manitoba can learn both languages.
Visa
To get to the training in Canada is not easy – in addition to visa, you need to get “a study permit.” This extra measure of the Government of Canada introduced in order to stem the flow of illegal immigrants. Official confirmation of enrollment at the university is a letter from the Council, the registration of the university. The original letter indicating the duration of training and the course description is required at the consulate in Canada. Very often candidates for a Canadian student visa are interviewing. This is in order to see for themselves the sincerity and firmness of your intentions.
Housing
Many institutions offer foreign students living in families. Usually stay based single room and two meals. The average cost of living in a family ranges from 400 to 800 Canadian dollars per month.
