Education in Canada today is one of the best in the world - every year thousands of students from different countries aspire to enter the schools and colleges of the country, and institutions create suitable conditions for this. The courses are adapted for international students by special semester or annual courses with a program of integration into the educational institution.

Several integrikes in the year make the receipt process convenient, and in itself this system is adjusted to the annual schedule. The year is divided into several semesters or trimesters:
- Autumn: from September to December (there is a break for a small vacation in October or November, plus a big Christmas break in late December or early January)
- Winter: January to April (break in February or March)
- Spring: in the period from May to June-July.
For admission, you must meet a number of requirements:
- High level of English or French (depending on the institution)
- Report card (with marks for the past 2 years)
- Recommendations from teachers
- Interview with a student or parents
