Canada has always attracted students from all over the world to study in Canada with its highly developed economy, high quality civilization, high quality education, and high welfare social security system.
First, Canada's universities
1. University classification
Canada's universities are generally divided into three categories, according to their focus, can be divided into the basic class of universities, universities, medical and scientific universities.
Basic universities: focus on undergraduate education and have fewer graduate programs.
Comprehensive universities: have a large number of graduate programs and a wide range of undergraduate and graduate level courses, including vocational degree programs.
Med-Pharma universities: all have extensive doctoral programs, and all have medical schools.
2. Types of Programs
Comprehensive and medical universities have more comprehensive programs and more room for students to choose their majors. If you are planning to study basic sciences such as biology, chemistry, and math, you can consider these universities as they have strong research capabilities. Basic universities are generally focused on a few directions of the program, practical courses a little more.

This aspect needs to be viewed in a comprehensive manner, usually the humanistic atmosphere in big cities is worse than that in small cities, and large-scale universities are worse than small-scale ones.
4. Class size
Comprehensive, medical and scientific universities in the first and second years of study, many courses are up to 400 students, while the number of basic university classes are relatively small, even in the first and second years of the large courses, usually up to 100 students, professional courses are usually about 20-30 students. The advantage of smaller classes is that students have more time with their professors and are more likely to be able to address issues that arise during the course.
