Education in Canada is, for the most part, provided publicly, funded, and overseen by federal, provincial, and local governments. Education is within provincial jurisdiction and the curriculum is overseen by the province.

Education in Canada is generally divided into primary education, followed by secondary education and post-secondary.

Within the provinces under the ministry of education, there are district school boards administering the educational programs.

Education is compulsory up to the age of 16 in every province in Canada, except for Manitoba, Ontario, and New Brunswick, where the compulsory age is 18, or as soon as a high school diploma has been achieved.

The Canadian education system offers three degrees: bachelor’s, master’s, and doctorate degrees. As an international student, you are welcome to complete all or part of your education in Canada. Like other countries, there are both public and private universities.
