Canada’s post-secondary education system is recognized worldwide for its academic excellence and practical learning opportunities. Post-Secondary and University Programs allow international students to pursue undergraduate, graduate, diploma, or vocational studies at Canadian colleges and universities.

International students seeking undergraduate or graduate degrees
Applicants enrolling in diploma or vocational programs
