Radsam’s Education Consultants can help you as same as hundreds of other students.
​
2.     4-year Bachelor Degree: Some colleges in Canada are offering joint Bachelor's Degree programs in collaboration with a University. But a few of the most reputable ones are authorized by the Ministry to offer the independent Bachelor's Degree programs with a cheaper tuition fee than university and more practical. For example, Bachelor programs in Business, especially Huma Resources, Accounting, Finance, and Business Administration at Georgian and Humber colleges are one of the most popular ones.
The general admission requirements of 4-year Bachelor's Degree programs at Canadian colleges are as same as Diplom and Advanced Diploma.
​
3.     1-2 year Graduate Certificates: This credential is in between the Bachelor and Master Degrees, and designed for the holders of a Bachelor's Degree who would like to attend a practical program to be prepared for entering to the job market rather than the theoretical academic courses. The Graduate Certificate programs are very limited and only a few colleges like Humber and Sheridan are offering them. The general admission requirements are to have a Bachelor Degree with GPA score 3 out of 4, and IELTS Academic with overall score 6.5. NO bands less than 6. As you see, the admission requirement is as same as the Master's Degree due to the high demand and competitiveness of this type of college program.

Can I study in Canada colleges without IELTS?

Study in a Canadian college without an English language proficiency certificate like IELTS is called the conditional offer. A conditional offer means that the student should take one or more English language courses before the main c main college program.
The length of the prerequisite English course depends on the language level of the applicant studying at a Canadian college and varies from two months to one year. Each month of language classes at Canada colleges is as productive as attending language classes outside of Canada for six months to a year.
High standards and new methods of teaching English and the native teachers have significantly progressed your English language level in a short period of time. So, if you are applying to college and you can get an academic IELTS with a score of six or higher in three to six months, be sure to do so. But if you think it will take more than six months to get an academic IELTS certificate with a score of six or higher, it is recommended to save your money and time by getting the conditional offer from a Canadian college.

GPA score conditions to study in a Canadian college

​
Canadian colleges are more flexible than Canadian Universities in terms of GPA.
It is possible to study in Canada with a diploma or a Bachelor's degree with a GPA of 2.75 out of 4.
But naturally, the higher the student's grade point average, the greater the chances of getting admission from the best colleges in Canada, especially for specific, popular, and lucrative majors.

The semesters of colleges in Canada

​
Study in Canada in college is usually possible in the three semesters of fall, winter, and spring.
The fall semester begins in the first week of September.
Since the fall semester is the start of the educational year, it is usually possible for both domestic intenational students to get admission to all majors from all Canadaiancolleges.
However, because the fall semester is a busy season, it is recommended that intenational students apply for getting admission and submitting the Canada student visa application as soon as possible and a few months before the deadlines.
The winter semester starts in early January.
It is also possible to obtain admission to most majors for this semester. Except for some courses offered by some colleges only at the beginning of the educational year, the fall semester. For example, the Bachelor of Animation program at Sheridan College which is one of the most popular programs there is only offered in September, and on a very competitive basis.
And finally, the spring semester, which starts at the beginning of May. Education at colleges in the spring semester is more restrictive. Because only a series of courses are offered this semester. Of course, this restriction can also be considered an opportunity. Because the number of student visa cases is much lower and as a result, the chances of obtaining a visa are higher.

The admission deadlines of Canadian Colleges

Another important point is that Canada college deadlines for the three aforementioned semesters are usually about six months before the start of the semester. However, it is better to apply for admission and visa more confidently seven to eight months before the desired semester. This is because the process of obtaining admission to the college, as well as the process of preparing the necessary documents for obtaining a visa, may take a long time, the Esteemed Canada Visa Officer may reject your case due to lack of time.

The difference between public and private colleges

​
Colleges in Canada are classified into two types:
Public colleges
Private colleges
​
Being public or private does not mean a difference in tuition - although the cost of studying at Canada public colleges is cheaper than many private colleges, it means that intenational students studying at Canada public colleges are granted a post-graduation work permit.
Therefore, if you intend to study at a college in order to get Canada permanent residency, you should obtain admission from public colleges.
However, if you are a domestic student, studying in a private college can be a much better option due to a very shorter length and in some cases, a cheaper tuition fee. One of the most reputable and largest Canadian private colleges is Toronto Film School, the first-ranked film school in Canada and the eight one in the World including film production, Acting for Film, Animation, Video Game design and programming, Graphic design and fashion design programs in the heart of downtown of Toronto.
