What are the age requirements for studying in Canada?

Education in Canada is at the leading level in the world. Many students want to apply to study in Canada every year. What are the age requirements for students studying in Canada? Let's take a look!

For students whose mother tongue is not English, TOEFL score of 550 or IELTS score of 6.5 or above is required.

Age limit of Canadian universities (in terms of schools): Generally, there is only a minimum age limit for admission, and there is no upper limit for age. High school applicants must complete the nine-year compulsory education stipulated by the China government. Those who apply for a college degree or above must be at least 18 years old and have a high school diploma.

Age requirements for studying in Canada (embassy): For visas, the embassy will generally respect the admission conditions of the school. However, from the perspective of examining and approving the application for studying abroad visa, the embassy will consider the applicant's application intention. If the applicant is over 35 years old, the embassy will focus on whether the applicant's age is the best age for education.

Second, the language requirements for studying in Canada

The official languages of Canada are English (the most widely used language in Canada) and French (mainly distributed in Quebec). 20 1 1, there are nearly 6.8 million Canadians whose mother tongue is not English or French, and the recognized regional languages include all the first national languages. Other major languages are Chinese (1, 072,555), French (853,745), Italian (407,490), German (409,200) and Punjabi (430,705).

Studying in Canada requires TOEFL and IELTS, with a new TOEFL score of 93 or above or an old TOEFL score of 580 or above and an IELTS score of 6.5 or above. The score of G-MAT in business is above 620, and the GRE in engineering is the lowest 1200. You don't have to take GRE for undergraduate courses. College students who apply for French teaching also need to provide French scores, such as the University of Montreal, the University of Schebuk, and Quebec public universities.

IELTS and the new TOEFL are both language scores recognized by Canadian universities. But for many institutions in Canada, TOEFL scores have certain advantages. The admission score of Canadian undergraduate colleges is IELTS 6.5, and TOEFL score above 80 can be admitted to this school. IELTS 7 is equivalent to TOEFL 100. For China students, IELTS score of 6.5 is not so easy, but IELTS score of about 80 is relatively easy compared with TOEFL. According to the data of TOEFL program in language schools, more than half of students apply for studying in the United States and Canada by taking the TOEFL test.

Third, the way to study in Canada

Direct recording

Students can apply for IELTS 6.5 or TOEFL 80 or above, and show their local college entrance examination scores above one line. The above results can prove that I am an excellent high school graduate in China and my English language level is good.

Double admission

Double admission is also called conditional admission. At the same time, the school issued a notice of admission for undergraduate majors, and the internal language structure of the school (or its designated external language institution) also issued a notice of admission for language schools.

After students have completed their language learning and passed the exam, they can enter specialized courses if they have the language ability to learn specialized courses.

Transfer credit

Students first study the courses of freshmen and sophomores in college, then transfer their credits to their favorite universities according to their grades, continue to study the professional courses of juniors and seniors, and finally realize their dream of a prestigious school and get a prestigious degree. For example, Langara College of Langara College, Douglas College of Douglas College and so on.

college course

University courses are designed to meet Canada's demand for practical talents. They are very practical for students with weak theoretical foundation but strong practical ability, especially those who want to learn a skill, work directly in Canada after graduation and then seek immigration. This is the most direct, time-saving and economical way.

Preparatory course

Provide high school transcripts and certificates of attending high schools for more than two years, transfer China's high school scores to Canadian high schools, and apply for Canadian universities with high school transcripts and diplomas after completing Canadian high school courses, English courses and pre-university courses.

University affiliated college

Take King's College of the University of Western Ontario as an example. Students enter the affiliated college of the University of Western Ontario through the Language College of the University of Western Ontario. Elective courses are not just liberal arts or business, but comprehensive courses.
