加拿大是聯(lián)邦制，加拿大政府由三級構成：聯(lián)邦政府（Federal Government）、省/區(qū)政府（Provincial Government）和市政府（City/Municipal Government）。

聯(lián)邦政府不設教育部，教育職責歸各省政府負責。由于加拿大地域廣闊，各省之間經濟發(fā)展水平差別較大, 各省建立了適合本地發(fā)展、相對獨立的教育體制。

加拿大高等教育總體上保持了較高的水準，每年吸引眾多國際學生前往求學和深造。

加拿大政府認可的高等教育機構主要分為大學和學院。絕大多數(shù)大學都是公立的。攻讀本科一般需要3-4年時間，碩士研究生需要1-2年，博士研究生需要3年。

各類學院側重培養(yǎng)應用型專業(yè)技術人才，一般提供大專文憑和各種證書課程，學制2至3年，不頒發(fā)學位；部分學校也開設學制1至2年的課程，完成學業(yè)后可轉入正規(guī)大學二、三年級繼續(xù)攻讀本科課程。

目前，在加拿大以公司形式注冊的私立學校數(shù)以千計，其專業(yè)、學科設置和師資配備等尚無有效監(jiān)控。中國學生申請這些私立學校時，務必謹慎。

中國教育近更新的加拿大高等院校名單與此前公布的名單相比，此次公布的名單主要變化是調整了6所院校的類別和層次。

加拿大沒有高考，12年級的學生在秋天過后就要面臨申請大學的問題，新移民和新來留學生對加拿大的大學不熟悉，下面讓我們先來看這份中國認可的加國大學名單：
