Canada is a country
occupying most of northern North America, extending from the Atlantic
Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west and northward
into the Arctic Ocean. It is the world's second largest country
by total area, and shares land borders with the United States
to the south and northwest. Ottawa is the capital of Canada whereas
Ontario is a province located in the central part of Canada, the
largest by population and second largest in total area.
Canada's language includes two official languages which are English
and French. English and French have equal status in federal courts,
Parliament, and in all federal institutions. 98.5% of Canadians
speak English or French. Canadian culture is
an umbrella term that encompasses the artistic, musical, literary,
culinary, political and social elements that are representative
of Canada, not only to its own population, but to people all over
the world. Canada's culture has historically been influenced by
European culture and traditions, especially British and French.
Education in Canada Post-secondary education
in Canada is also the responsibility of the individual provinces
and territories. Those governments provide the majority of funding
to their public post-secondary institutions, with the remainder
of funding coming from tuition fees, the federal government, and
research grants. Compared to other countries in the past, Canada
has had the highest tertiary school enrollment as a percentage
of their graduating population.
Nearly all post-secondary institutions in Canada have the authority
to grant academic credentials (i.e., diplomas or degrees). Generally
speaking, universities grant degrees (e.g., bachelor's, master's
or doctorate degrees) while colleges, which typically offer vocationally-oriented
programs, grant diplomas and certificates. However, some colleges
offer applied arts degrees that lead to or are equivalent to degrees
from a university.College:
Two to three years leading to a diploma. In some cases, an Associate's
degree (not common in Canada) or a Bachelor's degree may be possible
at the institution
University:
In Ontario and the Atlantic Provinces, university normally consists
of three years leading to a Bachelor's degree; four years leading
to an advanced major degree, a double degree or (in Ontario) an
Honours Bachelor's degree (the latter is in Ontario usually required
for Graduate school).
In Western Canada, university normally consists
of four years leading to a Bachelor's Degree (whether Honours,
With Distinction, or otherwise), and five years for a double major
or for a Bachelor's Degree in certain specific fields. However,
at many universities in Western Canada students are permitted
to take up to ten years to complete a Bachelor's Degree part-time.
It is also more common in Western Canada for students to apply
to university years after graduating from high school than it
is in Ontario or the Atlantic Provinces.
