Joel Westheimer, a university research chair in democracy and education at the University of Ottawa, speaks of the differences in the two countries when it comes to the college experience.

One of the main differences in getting your education in Canada versus the U.S. is the cost. It is not a secret that education typically costs less in Canada, which is one reason why more U.S. and international students choose this country for their studies. Westheimer said, “Canada has a much better system for funding university education, a more egalitarian system.” Canadians view education as a right, not a privilege, as in the U.S.

Admission to universities in Canada is simple. In the U.S., standardized testing is part of the application process. Most universities will accept applicants with a 70 percent or higher GPA. The application process at a Canadian university is more relaxed since students do not feel the pressure to score high on standardized testing.

Students apply to each university individually, not with a universal tool as in the U.S. There is a culture of independence in Canada, but in the U.S. many colleges have a mandatory rule for students to live on campus. As you choose to study in Canada, contact Canadian Visa Professionals for help with the visa process. They can make sure the applications are completed accurately.
