Studying in Canada Quality Education Canada's universities
and colleges are world-renowned for their high standards,
safe campus, and educational excellence. They are at the
forefront of the information technology revolution and
ensure that their students are equipped for the 21st
century.
Good Value Tuition and living expenses for an American
student at a Canadian school are |
|
very affordable. Americans are eligible for US government
student loans at most Canadian universities. |
|
Lots of Choice The wide choice of schools in Canada includes
major research institutions as well as small liberal arts
schools and a full range of undergraduate, graduate and
professional degree programs. Most Canadian schools are
within 100 miles of the U.S Canada border.
A Ticket for Success A degree from a Canadian university is
considered equivalent to an American degree. Many US
companies actively recruit on Canadian campus, and many
students with a Canadian undergraduate degree are enrolled
in top graduate programs throughout the US
Statistics & Figures/Interesting Facts about Canada |
|
Those expecting Canada to be a blander version of the USA
should check their assumptions at the door. Canada's wild
northern frontier, which has etched itself into the national
psyche, and its distinct patchwork of peoples have created a
country that is decidedly different from its brash neighbour. |
|
It's the edginess between Canada's indigenous, French and
British traditions that gives the nation its complex
three-dimensional character. Add to this a constant infusion
of US culture and a plethora of traditions brought by
migrants, and you have a thriving multicultural society.
