2. Analysis of matters needing attention when applying to study in Canada

1. Academic performance

Canadian universities adopt an application system, and the subject depends on the student’s high school grades. For Chinese students, it is generally the grades of the first, second and first half of the third year of high school, or for those who have graduated, the grades of the three years of high school are combined. For graduate students, it depends on their grades in several years of college.

Undergraduate: 80% is enough for general universities, and 85% or more is recommended for better schools. Some schools will require college entrance examination and college entrance examination scores, and some schools will not. Please refer to the school's official website for details.

Graduate students: Must have a bachelor’s degree. Except for MBA, almost all master’s programs require applicants to graduate from the same undergraduate major. Special majors such as law, accounting, and medicine sometimes may not be admitted even if they are the same as undergraduate programs. Documents for graduate application including resume, letters of recommendation, personal statement, etc. are also particularly important.

For Canadian master's degrees, whether it is an ordinary school or a prestigious school, the application difficulty is generally higher. Generally, the GPA is required to be 3.0 or above 75%, but it is recommended that it is above 80%, and it is almost 85% in prestigious schools.

College: Compared with universities, the admission standards of colleges are much lower. Top Canadian colleges such as George Brown College, Mohawk College, and Bicarano College basically have the same academic performance requirements for international students. 75%, there should be no more than 85%. There are basically no requirements for the Huikao and College Entrance Examination scores. Sometimes colleges have no lower limit for score requirements.

2. Language scores

University: IELTS 6.5/6.0 TOEFL 80/20

Graduate students: IELTS 6.5/6.0 TOEFL 80/20

(Note: The language score requirements here only represent the general situation, the actual requirements are subject to the latest data from the official website of each school)

Good school The requirements are higher than the general standards. However, some schools provide dual admission opportunities for students who do not meet the language standards, but not all schools offer dual admission opportunities for all majors. For example, some popular schools or popular majors will not provide dual admissions.

3. Application deadline

Canadian universities are generally divided into three semesters: spring, summer and autumn, each semester is about 4 months. The autumn semester, which starts in September, has the largest enrollment and offers a relatively comprehensive range of majors.

Generally speaking, the average application period is 3-4 months, high school is 1-2 months, and master's is 4-6 months.

The application deadline for spring admission is September of the first year; the application deadline for fall admission is January of that year.
