Kanada Kolej Eğitimi için Kanada’da her dalda birçok özel kolej bulunmaktadır. Lise mezuniyeti sonrası öğrenciler üniversite öncesi veya üniversiteye gitmek yerine kendi istedikleri alanda kolejlere gidebilir. Minumum 6 aydan 4 yıla kadar farklı branşlar barındıran Kolejler aslında Diploma programlarıdır ve bilindiğinin aksine bir çeşit üniversite değildirler. Üniversite mezuniyeti sonrası Bachelor Degree alınırken kolej mezuniyeti sadece Diploma sağlar. 6 aylık ofis asistanlığından 4 yıllık Radyoterapi Teknisyenliğine kadar birçok farklı bölümde yüzlerce kolej bulunmaktadır. Kolej eğitimlerinde Kanada hükümeti vatandaşlarına veya Permanent Resident statüsünde olan kişilere OSAP (Ontario Study Assitance Program) sistemi ile mezuniyet sonrasında işe girdiklerinde 15 yıllık bir sürece kadar yayarak ödeyebilecekleri bir kredi sunar. Buradaki amaç okumaya teşvik etmek ve maddi imkanlar yüzünden okumamış bir toplum yaratılmasının önüne geçebilmektir.
Post-secondary institutions
(universities and colleges)
Post-secondary schools include colleges, universities and technical schools. Each post-secondary school has its own set of rules on how to apply, and decides what level of English or French you will need to be accepted. For more information on post-secondary schools, contact:
- Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada
- Association of Canadian Community Colleges
- Canadian Information Centre for International Credentials
Also visit Education In Canada to get detailed profiles, requirements, application and admission information for programs of study at Canadian CEGEPs, colleges and universities.
Important: Each province and territory in Canada is responsible for designating schools at the post-secondary level that may enrol international students. The designated learning institution list includes universities, colleges, private career and vocational schools, as well as language schools. If you apply for a study permit application and your letter of acceptance is from an institution that is not designated for international students, your application will be refused.
Private career and vocational schools
Provincial governments do not necessarily regulate private schools. Make sure that the private school you apply to meets provincial education requirements. For more information on private career colleges, contact the National Association of Career Colleges.
Language schools
There are many schools in Canada that teach English or French as a second language. Provincial governments regulate language programs at public institutions.
Most provincial governments do not regulate language programs at private schools. For more information about private language programs, contact:
How to apply to a school, college or university
Once you have chosen a place to study you will need to apply to that school, college or university. Every school has different rules on how to apply.
Make sure you apply early for your course of study. Apply at least six months in advance to primary and secondary schools. University and college students should apply a year before they want to start their studies.
Contact the school where you want to study to learn how to apply. They will give you the right application forms and be able to tell you about:
- the cost of applying;
- tuition fees;
- health insurance;
- rent and how much it will cost to live in Canada;
- language tests.
Fill out the application form for the school or schools of your choice, and submit it according to the instructions provided. If the school admits you as a student, they will send you a letter of acceptance. You need a letter of acceptance in order to apply for a Study Permit.
Health insurance
The Government of Canada does not pay for the medical costs of foreign students. Health coverage for foreign students varies between provinces. Contact the school at which you are applying to receive more information about medical coverage and health insurance.
