Why Study
In CANADA ?
Canadians place a premium on education and demand first-rate
schools. Canada spends more per capita on its education system
than any other country in the G-7 and is among the top three
countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development (OECD). A degree from a Canadian university is
recognized world-wide and as a result, international students
who graduate from Canadian universities enjoy successful and
prosperous careers.

Canadian Education
System
The Canadian education system encompasses both publicly-funded
and private schools, from kindergarten through to university.
Education is a provincial responsibility under the Canadian
constitution, which means there are significant differences
between the education systems of the different provinces.
However, standards across the country are uniformly high.
A Safe Place
To Study
Canada is considered to be a relatively peaceful, safe and
orderly country. Its crime rate decreased for nine consecutive
years from 1992 to 2000. Unlike its US neighbours to the south,
firearms are strictly controlled and generally are not permitted.
Beautiful
Environment
Canadians place a high value
on their natural environment. There are currently 40 national
parks and national park reserves in Canada, protecting over
300,000 square kilometres of wilderness. National parks are
located in every province and territory, and some have been
recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Each province and
territory has also designated areas as provincial parks, wilderness
areas, ecological and nature reserves. There are over 2000
of these designated areas across the country.
One Of The
Best Places in the World to Live
For nine consecutive years (1994-2002), a United Nations survey
found Canada to be among the top three places in the world
to live. Conducted every year, the survey evaluates quality
of life in 174 countries, using over 200 performance indicators.
Canada earned particularly high marks for its access to
education, high life expectancy (due to universal health
care system); and low crime and violence rates. In addition,
Canada's largest cities -- Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal
-- have been recognized as world class cities in which to
live and work, for their cleanliness and safety and for their
cultural activities and attractive lifestyles.
