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.

(as opposed to degrees) in technological fields. Depending
on the program, people generally complete these programs in about
