About Canada Education System
The education system in Canada encompasses both publicly-funded and private schools
In Canada there is a division between where you would go to school to prepare yourself for certain types of work when choosing between university and college, though the line between the two are starting to blur.
Those same basic rules still apply, but many people in areas traditionally reserved for university graduates, such as business, are starting to obtain those positions with the help of college degrees. Colleges are handing out degrees and universities are handing out diplomas. Some schools have been specially formed to give students the opportunity to graduate with both a degree and a diploma.
Most students, after completing university or college, proceed to the working world. They might take a year off to travel, but generally, they start to look for jobs or work in their fields.
Some students go on to more schooling.
When people in Canada talk about graduate school, they are referring to degrees that only students who have completed a bachelor degree can take.
The first level of degree after a bachelor is a master's degree. An example of this would be a master's of business administration or MBA.
The next level would be a doctorate degree, or a Ph.D.
