Degrees/Diplomas

Canadian universities offer various degrees, depending on whether it is a university, community college, Language School or a Business School. You should pick your educational institution according to the field of study you wish to pursue. When choosing an institution you should keep in mind its location, size , facilities, price and financial aid possibilities.
Diplomas from Canadian universities are recognized and well appreciated around the world and are considered to be equivalent to those from American and other Commonwealth universities.
You may change institutions and/or the program of study as long as it is at the same level. Applications for changing schools can be obtained from the nearest Canadian Immigration Center. However, if the terms and conditions on your student authorization state that you are required to attend a specific school, then if you wish to change schools, you must apply for a new student authorization and provide the appropriate documentation. This can be done while you are in Canada.
