The level of literacy in Canada is very high, almost 90 percent. Special emphasis has been laid on education by the Government of Canada. The educational system is divided into three tiers. They are: Elementary education, Secondary education, and Higher education. Higher education in Canada begins after compulsory secondary education. Students, depending on their skill sets and capabilities, pursue studies which are both professional and vocational in nature. Biochemistry and Computer Science have been among the fastest growing disciplines at the Bachelor’s level in the last five years, followed by Nursing, Sociology and Psychology. Canadian Universities’ research and teaching strengths are in areas such as Computer Science, Business (Including MBA), Health Sciences, Law, Political Studies, Natural Resources, and Agriculture. Canada has two national languages: English and French, and offers English as a Second Language (ESL) and French as a Second Language (FSL) programs for Students wishing to learn either or both languages.

Professional Status

The Off-Campus Work Permit Program allows foreign Students at some publicly-funded educational Institutions in Canada to work off-Campus while completing their studies. The post-graduation work program allows graduating Students to gain work experience in their field of study, and offers lucrative professional opportunities in Information Technology, Telecommunications, Medicine, Education and Law.

Student’s Visa in Canada (Student’s Visa policies)

Students’ Visas in Canada are called Study Permits, and all oversea Students are required to obtain it. While making an application for a Student’s Visa, one must also meet the requirements of the Canadian Immigration Act and Regulations. For Course duration of six Months or less, one does not need a Student’s Visa. Since 2005, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) introduced a policy for international Students in post-secondary studies as per which the Students can now transfer between program and Institutions without applying for a change in the conditions of their Visas. If the Student has a valid Visa for training or studying at the post-Secondary level, they can transfer between public and private institutions.
