CANADA: UNIVERSITY ADMISSION - MUST READ
Depending on the academic experience obtained in their country, students from Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan can enroll in schools, special preparatory courses or directly to universities in Canada.
At the same time, it is important for foreign students to follow the General procedure for submitting entrance documents and meet the entrance requirements of the educational institution.
Study in Canada after grade 9, 10, or 11
The educational system in Canada provides an opportunity to study in the country, even for foreigners who have incomplete secondary education.
Admission after grade 9
The secondary education program in Canada does not last 11 years, as in Russia, but 12 years. Therefore, after graduating from the 9th grade of the Russian school, a graduate can not apply directly to universities in Canada.
Instead, the student must complete 3 years of required academic experience and complete a canadian-style secondary education. To do this, the student must enroll in one of the following educational institutions:
· public school
· private school
· international school or training center
You can enroll in these educational institutions on the basis of a certificate of incomplete secondary education and a certificate of passing the language exam. At the same time, it is important to note that public schools and private schools are designed for foreigners who already speak English well, while international schools accept students with different levels of English and involve intensive language learning.
During 3 years of study in schools, students develop the necessary academic and language skills, and after graduation they receive a diploma of full secondary education (High School Diploma), which allows them to apply to any University.
Admission after 10th grade
You can enroll in these educational institutions on the basis of a certificate of incomplete secondary education and a certificate of passing the language exam. At the same time, it is important to note that public schools and private schools are designed for foreigners who already speak English well, while international schools accept students with different levels of English and involve intensive language learning.
During 3 years of study in schools, students develop the necessary academic and language skills, and after graduation they receive a diploma of full secondary education (High School Diploma), which allows them to apply to any University.
Admission after 10th grade
Graduates who have completed their secondary education in Russia can choose from several options for admission to canadian universities.
Students can apply directly to the University. This will deprive them of the opportunity to get used to student life in Canada in advance and prepare for their studies, but it can save a lot of time and money.
Alternatively, a student can enroll in a pathway-type program or other College or University preparatory program in Canada. Such programs last 1 year, provide intensive academic and language training, and their successful completion almost always guarantees further enrollment in the University. These preparatory programs are also recommended for students who do not meet certain entrance requirements of the chosen University or curriculum.
It is worth noting that when enrolling foreigners in canadian universities for programs with a particularly high competition for places, students who have completed a full secondary education or
equivalent in Canada, and students who have completed a preparatory program, have an advantage over students who have applied for admission immediately after leaving school in their country.
Admission to undergraduate universities in Canada
International students must apply directly to the chosen canadian University, as there is no centralized system for applying to educational institutions in Canada.
However, in Canada, all educational institutions are managed by provincial or district authorities, depending on their location. In some provinces has its own system of submission of documents to the universities. For example, the UAC system (Ontario University Application Centre) in the province of Ontario.
However, many Canadian universities do not cooperate with Central systems. In this case, you need to submit documents directly to the educational institution, usually online on the University's website.
The standard package of entrance documents to universities in Canada is as follows:
· completed online entry form
· a copy of the passport
· a copy of the school certificate
· transcript of subjects and grades
· copies of other academic diplomas and certificates
· IELTS or TOEFL certificate
· creative portfolio (for creative programs)
Motivational essays, letters of recommendation, and student resumes are not traditionally as important when applying to universities in Canada as when applying to the United States or the United Kingdom. However, submitting additional documents that describe the student in a positive way can still help, especially when enrolling on a competitive basis.
All documents whose originals are not in English must be translated into English and notarized before submission.
In addition to submitting documents, the student must also pay an entrance fee for reviewing documents, which is usually $70-100. If the student is not accepted for study, this amount is not refunded.
Admission to the master's program of universities in Canada
When applying for a master's degree at canadian universities, students must also apply directly to the educational institutions.
Usually, for admission to the master's program, a student must submit the following documents:
· completed online entry form
· a copy of the passport
· copy of the bachelor's degree
· transcript of subjects and grades
· copies of other academic certificates, diplomas and certificates
· IELTS or TOEFL certificate
· GMAT, GRE or LSAT certificate (for some programs)
· two letters of recommendation from the last place of study
· motivational essay
· creative portfolio (for creative programs)
· receipt for payment of the entrance fee
In this case, all submitted documents must also be translated into English and certified.
Admission to the doctoral program of universities in Canada
To enroll in the doctoral program of canadian universities, a student must personally contact the doctoral Department of the chosen University.
To the University, they must submit their master's degree, IELTS or TOEFL results, and (for most universities) a project for future research work.
Sometimes, students also need to pass the GRE exam in order to enroll in a doctoral program.
If the master's degree was obtained by a student in a country with a different academic system, for example, in Russia, they may need to pass the procedure for evaluating the master's degree (Diploma Evaluation) in one of the international agencies. This is done in order to make sure that the student's knowledge corresponds to the declared high level of knowledge for studying at the last academic stage.
Transfer from a Russian University to a Сanadian University
Students of Russian universities can freely transfer to study at canadian universities, while the number of subjects and study hours counted is determined for each case on an individual basis.
Students of foreign universities (Transfer Applicant) submit entrance documents in the General flow. To canadian universities, they must submit:
· completed online entry form
· a copy of your passport
· a copy of the certificate of full secondary education
· copies of other existing diplomas and certificates
· transcript of subjects and grades for each academic semester according to the program of your University
· description of your University's curriculum (see below)
· IELTS or TOEFL certificate
An important document is the description of the curriculum. Like the transcript of subjects and grades, this document must be obtained at the University where the student is studying. In most cases, the document should include a list of items and studied the list of textbooks, list of seminars and practical work, list the course and the competition works student, the number of training weeks number of lecture, seminar and laboratory hours in the subjects.
All documents that a student receives when transferring to a canadian University must be translated into English and notarized.
After receiving the student's documents, the University's admissions Committee decides on an individual basis how many completed subjects can be counted and, accordingly, from which course the student will start studying at a canadian University.
Period for applying to universities in Canada
For those who are going to start studying at a canadian University in September, the application period begins almost a year in October. You should send documents as early as possible. It makes sense to start collecting and preparing documents a few months before they are submitted.
The deadline for submitting student documents is usually January-February. In some cases, universities accept applications for admission until the spring, after which students begin to send out the decisions of the host Commission of the educational institution.
It is important to note that the host commissions of various universities in Canada also work differently. For example, in some universities, a decision on a student's candidacy is made immediately after receiving their documents. In other universities, applicants are admitted on a competitive basis after the deadline. In both cases, the review of students ' applications takes about 7 weeks.
Jobs in Canada and the job market
The Сanadian job market is quite extensive. The country has developed traditional sectors such as the transport industry, banking and tourism. In addition, in Canada, many jobs are offered in the most developed areas, including the oil and gas industry, software development, animation and animation, information technology and services.
Employment of graduates
Foreign graduates of canadian universities can get a job in Canada after graduation. To do this, you must obtain a Post Graduation Work Permit (PGWP). This document allows you to stay in the country for a maximum of 3 years after graduation.
The validity of the work permit depends on the number of years that the student has studied in Canada. Thus, the longer you studied at the University, the longer you can stay in the country after graduation. A work permit gives a graduate the opportunity to find a suitable job, find a job and get the necessary work experience. After the PGWP expires, you can apply for a Сanadian work visa.
