 It's much easier to finish high school in Canada and apply to one of Canada's top universitiesthan it is to apply directly from your home country. Here are five advantages of finishing high school in Canada before applying to a North American university:
- International students studying in Canada and graduating from high school will benefit the same as local students when applying for universities. There is no need to submit a Chinese college entrance examination or examination results, but only the average score of six Canadian high school grade 12 courses is needed as an assessment of academic level in the application.
- Applying for university or no IELTS score: international students applying to Canadian universities need to provide a valid English score. For example, a minimum required score of IELTS Band 6.5 or TOEFL 85 is needed in order to apply for a bachelor's degree. However, forstudents in Canada who have completed four years of high schoolthe language proficiency scores can be exempt from the application to university, eliminating the need to spend extra time preparing for the IELTS or TOEFL exam.

Planning ahead solves 80% of life's problems – same as your course selections!
Under the individualized education system of Canada, the elective course systemis definitely a challenge for international students, who are used to taking regular level-by-level classes. When high school students enter the 11th or 12th grade, they are often caught off guard by the unexpected "course selection problem". As opposed to the school curriculum in China where students study subjects according to the school curriculum, the course selection system in Canadian high schools is for students to decide on their own. Most schools offer two or three hundred courses, with students choosing different types and levels of difficulty based on their academic level, interests and strengths.
The selection of your grade 12 courses is exceptionally important! It is crucial to your future university or college applications, and whether you can enter your desired university for further study. Success or failure depends on it! "Random selections" will not only waste time, but is also not helpful in achieving an ideal average. Our professional education consultantsThey will guide you to choose your courses at the beginning of grade 11 or 12, depending on your personal preference, parental considerations, strengths and weaknesses, and future development. In terms of course type, course progress, andcourse varietyFrom this perspective, we aim to help you develop the best high school course selection plan.
They always keep the best for themselves. The only thing we can do is to be ready to make immediate changes!
Many students studying in public high schools under a district’s public school board will be surprised to find that the annual course selection season is like a "registration war"; As an international student, the result is always unsatisfactory. There will be many international students around who won't be able to take a U-type courseor a "good course" that is relatively easy. What's more, school teachers may mislead students by telling them that they should give up choosing U-type courses.
It's not hard to understand why, given Canada's relatively limited public education resources, the public education system automatically allocates good resources to "locals"What you should do, is to communicate with our education consultants in time, make timely changes, and actively respond!
I tried my best, but I’m still far from my expectations. I don’t need to be treated kindly. I just want to be treated fairly!
Many students who attend public high schools under the administration of the district school board would complain, "why do teachers give such high 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 be a problem for one’s future university application, affecting their chances of getting higher education. In addition, it can cause certain psychological impact and pressure. What our education consultantscan do is to communicate with you or your parents as soon as possible to solve the problem by "transferring", offering reasonable course selection Suggestions and other means. What you need to do is not to look down on yourself by jumping to conclusions, but to look for alternatives. In fact, to be honest, as long as you choose the right school, want to go to a famous university in Canada, really not so difficult!
When applying for an institution of higher learning in Canada, you do not have the right to choose the application materials you provide, but you can still embellish your application!
For those who have been studying in Canada for many years, IELTS may still be a difficult problemIt is possible for an international student to communicate fluently with native friends, but it is much more difficult to reach the required result in the IELTS. Sometimes, it is not that your English is not good enough, it is that you don't know the "strategies" of taking the IELTS. Actually, there are many methods in solving your language problem.

Canada's education system is roughly the same as China's, with 6 years of elementary school, 3 years (known as grade 1-9) and 3 years in high school (grade 10-12). There are also some provinces where grades 1-8 are considered elementary and junior high, while grades 9-12 are considered high school. Canada's high school education system is under the provincial department of education, so there is no national education system.
In British Columbia, students need to earn 80 credits and pass a provincial exam to graduate. The provincial exam in BC mainly includes a Math Skills Assessment and Literacy Assessment which are important indicators of whether students can graduate from high school. The provincial English test results accounts for 40% of the grade 12 English grade. If the provincial exam results are not ideal, even if you get conditional admission to the university, the university will eventually cancel their offer.
Ontario's high school system is relatively flexible, making it easier for international students to graduate. In Ontario, grades 9-12 is considered high school. Students can graduate after completing 30 credits in high School, passing theOntario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT)nd completing 40 hours of volunteer work. The Ontario provincial examination can be taken at any time in grades 10-12. You are only tested on your English ability and it does not take up a percentage of grade 12 English. If you do not pass the provincial exam, you only need to take one provincial English Coursend pass. A student needs 30 high school credits in order to graduate high school in Ontario – 18 of them are mandatory and 12 are optional; every credit has a minimum requirement of 110 hours spent in each course.

Because many parents are not familiar with the specifics of the Canadian colleges and the high school education system, they choose inappropriate schools for their children before they going abroad, which leads to the increasingly common phenomenon of high school transfers in Canada in the recent years. Transfers are commonly caused by: schools located in remote areas, bad living environments, safety issues, lack of an English environment, or schools that are tough in grading leading to students not being about to graduate and apply to university in time and so on
If a school transfer is not handled properly, not only will it be a waste of time, money, and energy, but it could also affect the student’s future college applications. Our education consultants will provide professional assistance to students based on their personal preferences, parental considerations, strengths and weaknesses, future development and many other factors. Here are 9 key steps in handling a transfer:
- Analyze of your current situation and problems
- Do an academic evaluation and a language evaluation
- Provide 3-5 alternative schools
- Visit the school
- Check the application date and admission requirements
- Complete the application process or interview (if any)
- Wait for admission notice/invitation letter from the school
- Register at new school and select courses
- Follow up and resolve issues until you get a university or college offer
