Canada is a federation of ten provinces and three territories. Under the Canadian constitution, provincial
governments have exclusive responsibility of all levels of education. Canada is one of the world’s top education
performers.

At the post-secondary level, Canada offers a range of education institutions:

Universities

Canada has a large selection of universities 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. The universities are internationally known for the quality of teaching and
research.

University Colleges

University colleges combine Canadian university and college traditions, with a strong base of applied and academic programs offered in campus environments. University colleges offer students a wide range of program choices of either academically-oriented university degree programs or the more practically-oriented college diplomas and certificates.

Community Colleges

Community colleges have the primary function of responding to the training needs of business, industry and the
public service sectors. They also meet the educational needs of vocationally-oriented secondary school graduates, employment-seeking university graduates, as well as the lifelong learning requirements of the adult population. They offer professional programs of 1 to 3 years (often including a work term) that are highly applicable in the job market.

Career Colleges and Technical Institutes

Career Colleges and Technical Institutes are privately owned institutions that offer training programs that
provide students with practical skills for the job market after a short period of instruction. These institutions
are provincially approved and regulated, ensuring that program standards and quality are maintained.
Students seeking short-term training programs in multimedia, film studies, computer/internet studies, graphic
design and hospitality and the like apply to career colleges. The emphasis at these institutions is on practical
skills and some may specialize in specific areas such as business, computers and accounting skills.
