The four different types of higher educational institutions in Canada
are Universities, University Colleges, Community Colleges, Technical
Institutes or Career Colleges offer postgraduate or master's degrees and
diplomas, possibly in all subject areas. The minimum eligibility
conditions for participating master's programs in Canadian Universities
are - a relevant graduate degree, at least two academic letters of
reference and other qualifications as specified in the respective
Universities or Colleges and TOEFL, GRE or any other specified
standardized test score. Master's programs in Canada, generally require
two years of full time study along with course work and submission of
thesis.
Master's programs in business study areas i.e. MBA programs in Canada
will normally require a minimum of two to three years of relevant work
experience, GMAT, TOEFL score and a 4-year graduate degree. While
generally the duration of master's programs in Canada is two years,
students may find some institutes in Canada that offer a fast track post
graduation choice. A master's degree or diploma from Canadian
educational institutions is instantly recognized around the world for
its highest standards. The Commonwealth scholarship is one source of
funding for Canadian Universities at the post-graduate level but it is
restricted to a very limited number of students that have exceedingly
high intellectual promise and who live in Commonwealth countries.
