Must-Read Guide to Canadian Private Secondary Schools
Canadian Private Secondary Schools Application Service
When high school students enter grade 11 or 12, they are often caught off-guard. The grade 12 [course selections] are particularly important, because it is related to the application of universities | colleges in the future. Whether or not the student can enter their ideal university/college for further study is decided by their choices. Blind "random selections", will not only result in wasted time, but is also not helpful in achieving a high average.
Our education consultants will provide you with free consultation at the beginning of grade 11 or 12 to assist you with [smart course selections] based on your personal needs. From course types, course schedules, to the course progress to help you develop the perfect high school [course selection plan].
Many students who attend public high schools administered by the Ontario Ministry of Education will be surprised to find the annual course selection period to be chaotic as students scramble to register as quickly as they can. The results of this are often disappointing. Many international students are unable to select the U-type courses and the [easy-scoring courses]. What's more, school teachers may mislead students by telling them that they should give up the U-type courses (as they are only qualified for college).
This is not hard to understand. Given the limited resources, the public education system in Canada will save good resources for "local people". What you should do is to communicate with our education consultants early and make timely adjustments in order to achieve your goals.
Many international students may complain, "why do teachers give higher grades to locals and such low grades to us? How are we going to apply for university?" Although there are some unavoidable problems such as in language proficiency, cultural differences and adaptability; in some public schools, western teachers do in fact “discriminate” against international students. In the Canadian education system, students rarely just get one shot at their final grade. Do not underestimate the influence of the teacher's "subjective awareness" on your final score!
This kind of problem will affect one’s chances of getting the desired higher education. In addition, it can cause certain psychological impact and pressure. What we can do is to help solve your problem by communicating and helping you to [transfer schools] as quickly as possible, or by other means.
Although you may have been studying in Canada for many years, IELTS can still be a huge obstacle. Talking with your foreign friends may be easy-breezy, but it is still hard to reach the "standard" when you try your best in the IELTS test. Sometimes, your English level is the problem, you just don’t know the rules of the game!
Our education consultant will work out the most suitable IELTS improvement plan for you based on your background; and also, solutions such as applying through the [Mature Student Stream], [English language proficiency exemptions], etc., which can reasonably help to avoid having to submit English Proficiency results.
Before going abroad, you imagine your study life to be like this: blond, blue-eyed, courteous classmates, friendly teachers, and a nurturing host family like who treats you like your mom and dad do... However, you would be shocked to find that the western food that your school accommodation provides is actually just pizza; that more than half of the international students in the school have do not speak English at school; and that your host family gives you sandwiches three times a day – plus, they even set a time limit on your showers!
What's more, you might have a mix of "friends" trying to get you to do "bad" things. You do not want to look bad in front of your friends but you are afraid of upsetting your parents if you do. In all, everything is not what you imagined, NOT! AT! ALL! In any case, our education consultants are ready to come to your rescue to solve your dilemma.
When you started studying abroad, did you fail to graduate because of your English proficiency? While watching your old classmates in China, one by one, going off to university, you have now become the oldest in your class. You are starting to feel incompetent and depressed. You lack confidence in continuing in high school...
According to the educational background of the education consultant | Areas of expertise and other factors can be used to determine appropriateness.
After preliminary communication, we will understand the objective situation of students and their application intentions. Applicants will then designate and authorize us to provide them with free application services for junior and senior high schools.
After in-depth discussion with the education consultant, according to different reasons for transfer (students having difficulty adapting | students given low grades | difficulties in course selection, | schools not meeting expectations of the student | students hoping to graduate early, etc.), we can determine the "category" of fitting schools (each category has 30-50 school options).
Selecting 2 or 3 schools from the "category" of the student’s fitting schools, we will visit each of them. Our responsible education consultants fully provide services for: [school visit appointments], [accompanied school tours], [interview training | arrangement], and [communication & interpretation], [transportation and pick up] (roundtrip from your designated location to the selected university).
We will be fully responsible for [completion of college application forms], [communication of interview results] (if any), [follow up and obtaining of offers], and [arrangement of student record transfers | credit transfers].
After entering the new school, our responsible education consultants will provide free services in [communicating with the school about students’ grades], [assisting course selection | or course adjustments], [college | university application planning] and more.

Canadian University: Advantages & Application Process
As an industrial hub, Canada ranks among the top in the world in terms of science, technology and education, and has the highest proportion of education investment among the seven major industrial countries. Because there are only more than 50 universities in the country and education resources are concentrated, the level of higher education is top-notch and the value of the academic qualifications is among the best in the world. The campuses provide a safe environment for students to focus on their studies and daily lives. If the value of the program is defined from the perspective of immigration, Canada's undergraduate education is undoubtedly the highest in the world, especially for the Masters Graduate Stream under the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program.
In terms of employment rates, Canadian universities continue to perform well. Of the top “100 Global University Employability Rankings” published by Time Magazine, 5 Canadian universities are on the list. This research was conducted by surveying 6,000 well-known companies around the world, focusing on which university’s graduates have higher employment qualities. The five universities on the list are: University of Toronto (13th), McGill University (18th), University of Montreal (44th), University of British Columbia (45th), and McMaster University (74th).
The average tuition for undergraduate students at Canadian universities ranges from $10,000 to $55,000 a year.The cost is much lower compared with Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States and other countries. At the same time, international students are provided with the permission to legally earn income from employment and paid internships. In Canada, in addition to the University of Toronto, McGill University, University of British Columbia and other world-class universities with relatively high tuition fees, there are also many highly-ranked universities to choose from, with low tuition costs and high value. For example,Memorial University of Newfoundland、University of Prince Edward Island、Acadia University、St. Anne's University、Mount Allison University、Mount St. Vincent University and so on. If interested, please refer to our database of Canadian institutions.
As the number of undergraduate applicants in Canada continues to rise, the enrollment of international student has been increasing year after year. The admissions requirements of major undergraduate universities in Canada have not changed much, especially in the average grades in grade 12 and IELTS scores.Under normal circumstancesrequirements basically follow these principles:
- Grade 12 students with an average grade of 85% or higher can apply for a medical university or a higher-ranking comprehensive university;
- Students with an average grade of more over 80% in grade 12 can apply for other medical and doctoral universities.
- Students with an average grade of over than 70% in grade 12 can apply for comprehensive universities (except University of Waterloo and York University, which generally require about 80%).
- Students with an average grade of over than 60% can apply for primarily undergraduate universities.
Regarding language scores English ProficiencyCanadian universities accept IELTS, TOEFL and other standardized language test scores,an exemption for mature students、language centres of the universityGraduation and other methods are used as admission requirements. Among them, the requirements for IELTS scores in most provincial universities in Canada have not changed in recent years. Undergraduate "direct admission" requires an overall score of 6.5 or above, and a minimum of 5.5 in each individual section. Different schools have different requirements for individual sections.
The term "Conditional Admission" is the widely used for those studying abroad, referring to a method of entering a university without English proficiency.
- If the academic results and language scores you submit meet the requirements of the undergraduate major you are applying for, then the University Admissions Office will issue a OFFERdirectly. You can then proceed to apply for a visa, buy air tickets, enroll, take your courses, graduate with full credits, and earn a degree
- If your academic results meet the program’s admission requirements but your language results do not, the University Admissions Office will issue a CONDITIONAL OFFER The school will not allow you to begin your studies until you have received a language score that meets the requirements.
Some Canadian universities cooperate with designated third-party language schools. At this time, you will receive two acceptance letters – one for a language admission to the designated language school and the other for a language admission for the undergraduate program. This is the true origin of the term "conditional admission". Now, many universities have set up their own language centres to meet the needs of international students who need to improve their English skills, so if this applies to you, you will only receive one undergraduate letter of admission issued by the university, which will state that you need to complete the language program in the language centre and achieve a certain score before you can enter the program.
[Click to learn the difference between "direct admission" and "conditional admission".]
Some of programs in universities offer paid internship and job opportunities, allowing students to combine academics with practice in order to help them prepare for their careers after graduation. Students can work 20 hours a week while studying and 40 hours a week during the vacations.
According to the educational background of the education consultant | Areas of expertise and other factors can be used to determine appropriateness.
In the initial meeting, we will learn about the student’s current situation, their application intentions, and obtain the student’s authorization to provide the service of [university undergraduate applications | OUAC account maintenance], and sign the application service contract.
After in-depth discussion with the education consultant, we will determine the target “university's category" (medical and doctoral | comprehensive | basic category) and specialty orientation according to the student’s background (high school grades, language scores, practical experience, etc.) and application intention (university category, program of choice, future paths, etc.).
We will be fully responsible for [OUAC Applications], [Guidance | Editing | Polishing application documents], [Communication with Schools | Applicable Waiving of Language or Academic Cut-offs] (by studying in a reasonable “duration of time in an English environment"), Grade 12 "English or Mathematics Results | Competition Awards" and other technical means, [Responding to School Emails in a Timely Manner | Submitting Supplementary Application Materials], [Following-up and Receiving Offers]
After entering the new school, our responsible education consultant will provide free services in [communicating with the school about grades], [assisting in course selections | or adjusting course selections], [planning for postgraduate study after graduation], [employment strategies | immigration consultation] and so on.

- If the student has no IELTS score: In the case of no qualified standardized language test scores, you can enter the college'sconditional admission program;

Generally speaking, there are three admission times a year: Fall Intake in September, Winter Intake in January and Summer Intake in May. Even some colleges offer a Late Intake in October。
As for the starting date of conditional admission language courses, each school is slightly different as follows:
- Duration of 2 months for each level, 5 start dates per year: January (1st Intake), March (2nd Intake),May (3rd Intake), July (4th Intake), September (5th Intake) and November (Last Intake)
- Duration of 4 months for each grade, 3 start dates a year, consistent with the time of major programs: Autumn Admission (Fall Intake in September), Winter Admission (Winter Intake in January) and Summer Admission (Summer Intake in May)
As the college's courses begin three times a year, the two-year college diploma course can be completed in one and a half years. Similarly, a three-yearcollege advanced diplomacan be completed in two years. You can also apply for a three-year work visa after graduation. The flexible length of schooling avoids the long gap between semesters, and enables a seamless connection between language courses and major courses.
For international students, the tuition fee for Canadian public colleges range from $7,000~8,000 CAD per semester (CAD$15,000/ year). Compared with the universities’ annual tuition fee of $40,000 to $50,000, it can be said that colleges are a better value.

Moreover, Canadian colleges and university transfer systems allow many international students to go to university after studying for two or three years at college. This not only saves a lot of tuition fees, but also can get you many bonus points when applying for immigration through the Express Entry system because you will have two educational qualifications – one undergraduate degree and one college diploma.
Unlike Canadian universities, which only allows you to choose between business schools, schools of engineering, arts, astronomy, law, computer science and other major areas of study and research, Canadian colleges, on the other hand, offer a wide variety of professional majors that will only surprise you. In addition to the common majors such as accounting, finance, business administration, marketing, human resource management, social software management and development,...
Colleges provide courses such as: automotive business management, golf resort management, wine-making, beer-brewing, dessert-making, machinery-manufacturing, electrical automation, renewable energy engineering, aircraft repair, piloting, auto repair, navigation technology, refrigerator/air conditioning maintenance, medical cosmetology, optometry, jewelry design, makeup artistry, history of management, interaction design, graphic design, photography, product and packaging design, landscape design, massage therapy, nutrition, health management... and thousands more. Below is an example of majors open to international students in a college in Canada.
Unlike undergraduate students in China who look at internship as one of the requirements for graduation, in Canada, internship is only an accessory to graduation. However, for employment in Canada, companies and organizations will take the following factors into consideration: educational background, work experience, qualifications obtained and personal skills as the employment criteria. Work or internship experience is especially important.
In Canada, graduates of public colleges tend to find jobs faster than those with a bachelor's degree. Graduates with strong technical skills earn higher starting salaries. This is due to the hands-on experience they gained from practical teaching environments of public colleges, as well as the large number of providedpaid internships opportunities. More than 50% of the programs in Canadian public colleges offer paid internship opportunities and have internship agreements with a large number of employers across a wide range of industries. ›For example, programs like hotel management or culinary arts, automotive and aircraft maintenance, early childhood education, nursing and pharmacy, golf and resort management, winery management, etc., have maintained in close contact with many Canadian companies.
The college offers hands-on classes that practical to the job market. If you do an internship during your vacation, you will not only be able to use what you've learned in class at work, but also help you connect with professionals in the industry This helps students build a solid foundation for personal development after graduation.
Students have the opportunity to transfer some or all of their credits to a university for further undergraduate study upon completion of two or three years of professional studies at a public college in Canada. This is actually not difficult at all. The minimum requirement is 75% CGPA. Almost all public colleges have transfer agreements with different universities for different majors. For example:
- Transferring between George Brown College and the University of Toronto in majors such as business, engineering and other fields can be (GBC+UofT) 2+2 or 2+3 years of study.
- Transferring between Seneca College and York University in majors such as business, arts and social sciences can be (Seneca+YorkU) 2+2 or 2+3 years of study.
- Transferring between Fanshawe College and IVEY School of Business at Western University in majors such as accounting and other business majors can be (Fanshawe + Western) 2+2 or 2+3 years of study.
- Transferring between Mohawk University and McMaster University in majors such as business, engineering and healthcare can be (Mohawk+McMaster) 2+2 or 2+3 years of study.
These are just a few of the many agreements between Canadian colleges and universities. Almost every public college has signed dozens or even hundreds of transfer agreements with various universities. Specific inquiries can be made through relevant websites agreements with various universities. Specific inquiries can be made through relevant websites. In the case of signing the transfer agreement,you will not be required to resubmit English proficiency test scores. Also, all the credits obtained in the college can be transferred to the university.
On the premise oftransferring to university reduces the time of repeated study,so as to cutting out two years of study.. This also helps to save on tuition feesto obtain both a college diploma and an undergraduate degree after graduation. In addition to that, you earn around 40 additional points for the Express Entry immigration program. According to the current immigration policy and your plans for the future, you can decide whether you would like to enter the workplace and immigrate or return to China for further study. If you graduate from college with an Applied Bachelor Degree, you can also apply for a master's program at a graduate school in Canada to continue your studies.
Since the introduction of theEE政策 rogram in 2016, many students have packed their bags and returned home. These students regretfully stated that they would have been able to stay if they had graduated earlier and had met the CEC’s requirements. It is true that Canada's immigration policy changes every five years. For international students who wish to live here permanently, the "going of the old" stage of Canada’s immigration policy is the most painful and the most difficult for them. Therefore, graduating as soon as possible is your best bet.

Because Canadian public colleges and universities differ in terms of academic structure, tuition fees at colleges differ greatly from universities. College tuition generally includes the basic tuition, materials, administrative fees and student insurance. The basic tuition fee varies slightly depending on the type of courses and the major. It ranges from $7,500 to $11,000 per semester. Generally, tuition fees for art and design related majors are relatively high. It is worth noting that the basic tuition fee does not include the cost of textbooks. Therefore, at the beginning of each semester, students will need to spend $300-800。
Some new students may also need to attend the school’s language program. Language programs typically costs around$3,500 to $4,000 CAD for one level that lasts two months4-month programs cost$5,000 to $6,000 CAD per level加币左右。
Finding good housing can be beneficial to students to help them adapt to the new life and concentrate in school. In terms of housing, there are actually many choices. Students can consider choosingschool accommodations: the residence provided by the school because going to school will be more convenient. That way, the student can save on transportation fees and they will not have to buy a car. There are many other types of school residences with varying living arrangements ranging from $850-$1500 per month. On the other hand, some students may choose to rent apartments or houses near the school. Depending on the type of house they rent, the cost will naturally vary.
Houses with a master bedroom with a separate bathroom will be around $800-1200 CAD per month, and a second bedroom will be around $450-800 CAD per month. Some students may be more inclined to live in a privatecondominiumbut compared to houses, the rental costs of condos are higher. For example, in Toronto, renting a one-bedroom condo will generally cost around $1700-2000 CAD per month. In busier areas such as downtown and North York, the rent will be around $1900-2300 CAD per month. If sharing the condo with several other people, it costs around $800-1000 CAD per person per month.
In terms of food and groceries, it is difficult to use objectively standardized costs. Students pay around $10 to $15 for a quick meal at or near the school. It may often come up to about $1,000 a month to feed a single person. Occasionally, when going out with three to five friends, the average per person comes out to be around $30-80 CAD. If you buy groceries and cook by yourself, the costs will be relatively low. Visiting the supermarket once a week for fresh fruits and vegetables, meats, and snacks basically costs $100-200 Canadian dollars for a week’s worth of food. Below are some of the largest Canadian supermarkets:
- T&T: It sells Asian food and is easily found at different locations in Toronto. You will be able to find a lot of different snacks and ingredients different Asian countries. The price is also not expensive. When spending a bit over $100 a week, you will be able to leave with meat, vegetables, fruits and snacks for the week. During special Chinese festival, they also sell special foods such as moon cakes and rice dumplings.
- Shoppers Drug Mart: Those who have lived in Canada for some time will be no stranger to Shoppers Drug Mart. The conspicuous red signboard with white bold characters stands out from a far distance. Although many over-the-counter medicines can be found there, you will find that there are also beverages, snacks, cosmetics and electronic. Also, they have post offices that are available at all Shoppers locations. In addition, some locations are open 24 hours, so, in the middle of the night, you can go to get batteries, chargers, rubbing alcohol and so on. In addition, feminine products, birth control pills, pregnancy tests, and other essentials be found here. Shoppers is not the cheapest place to shop, but they offer Optimum Card memberships for earning points in which you can redeem for savings and prizes.
- No-Frills: Some might be curious about the meaning of "No-Frills." Originally, it meant "without unnecessary extras." No-Frills can be found almost everywhere in Canada. It is an affordable supermarket specializing in food, even cheaper than Walmart, another big supermarket. They offer low prices on their line of generic products branded as “No Name,” which sells much cheaper than the comparable national brands.
- Sobeys: commonly known for their "organic" products, the prices are higher. However, the interior decoration is a warm and welcoming atmosphere that a lot of well-off international students love. The freshly squeezed orange juice sold at Toronto's Spadina location near the Don Valley Parkway is well-known as people say it is the "freshest high-end fruit juice!"
- WholeFood:  As the world’s leader in organic foods, Wholefoods is committed to food coming from sustainable agriculture. For this, the company's CEO is called “Bill Gates of the organic food industry”. People who like to shop there seem to be deeply devoted in their concept. $10 for a bottle of freshly squeezed juice sounds outrageous but it has gained popularity in middle-class consumers pursuing a high-quality life. You can find WholeFoods’ big sign at the intersection of Yonge and Sheppard in North York, a busy area in the city.
- Loblaw: With more than 1,400 stores across the country, they carry everything from food to daily necessities. These supermarkets are easily found in areas where many international students live, and they are conveniently located near the exit of some major highways. You can also find rice, dumplings, buns, soy sauce, seasonings and more with Chinese products on the shelves on Loblaws. In some of the larger stores, there are chefs who specialize in the preparation of sashimi trays, freshly made sandwiches, baked cakes and desserts. Prices are reasonable and not too high.
- Metro: Their cooked food is a popular choice. This large Canadian supermarket is based in Quebec and is known to be a place that “satisfies the stomachs of hungry carnivores." Steaks, sausages, pork chops, etc. are always sold at affordable prices. Young meat-lovers may frequently shop there. They also have fresh fruits, and many types fruit platters.
- H Mart: Many young people studying abroad tend to prefer the variety of delicious desserts, pies, teas and assorted snacks from this Korean supermarket. Of course, the ramen noodles are also a staple choice for students and bookworms. The cheese spicy ramen from H Mart is definitely an all-time favourite. The supermarket can be found on Yonge Street, North York and Toronto.
- Costco: Great for large, bulk purchases, this large-scale retailer carries fresh unprocessed meats, vegetables and fruits, and excellent-quality preprocess foods! Both Westerners and Chinese people love Costco because things are cheaper as they carry family-sized products that are more cost-effective. It is especially suitable for international students who shop for food once a week and are split the costs with roommates. Costco's health products and packaged foods have also been popular for Canadian buyers who sell these products to people overseas. They are reasonably priced and the quality is guaranteed. I personally enjoy eating at Costco. The hot dogs and poutine in the fast food area are also very popular. I often pick up a roast chicken on my way out. You can buy electronics, housewares, clothes, and other necessities, all at a reasonable price. You must have a membership card to shop, and you must show it every time you enter the store. There are 2 types of memberships available, for businesses and individuals. If you have a big family, Costco is a cost-effective option. If you have a car, fueling it at Costco’s gas station can be cheaper than at other gas stations.
In fact, there are many other supermarkets in Canada, especially in Toronto. For example, Fengtai, Dingtai, and Walmart, which are well-known to Chinese people. Less common ones include IGA, Safeway, Fortinos, Valu-mart, Super C, and Foodland.

In addition, TTC offers a discount to students. The monthly transportation card for students is currently $117 for unlimited bus and subway rides.
Some people may want to buy a car earlier on so they would not have to take the bus in the freezing winter weather. At present, international students tend to spend around $30,000-80,000 purchasing a car. If you buy a car, you will also incur vehicle-related charges, which cost between $300-400 per month and fuel costs between $50-60 per week. Leasing a car will cost $400-500 per month.
