There is no completely uniform regulation on the opening and closing time of Canadian universities. Most schools divide a school year into two main semesters: autumn semester and winter semester, each lasting four months, but some schools divide it into spring semester and summer semester.

Autumn semester: from early September to mid-June, 65438+February, the winter vacation begins after the exam, but the winter vacation in Canada is relatively short, only about 3 weeks, and international students generally do not return home.

Winter semester: 65438+1from early October to mid-April, and some schools only finish the exam in May and start school from early May to early September. The middle four months are summer vacation. Check the information of special fares.

Except for a few schools that added a semester in May, there are three school days each year, namely: 1, May and September. In addition, if the school starts in June 5438+0 and September, and the period from May to September is summer vacation, if the school starts in June 5438+0, May and September, the school will arrange some courses to improve students' language and professional level or transfer credit courses in May.

In addition to the above university holidays, there are many national holidays and there will be holidays, so you must make good use of your time and study hard when you study abroad, and don't waste precious time!

How should we arrange college holidays?

First of all, class.

There is no fixed "four-year system" in Canadian universities. How many years to get a bachelor's degree depends on how many courses you choose each semester. You can get a bachelor's degree in three years. If you have few choices, you may not graduate in five years. Generally speaking, it is normal to take 4 or 5 courses in a semester. If you choose more courses, the pressure may be even greater. In order to help students learn faster and save credits, universities will also offer some courses during the summer vacation. In this way, students can take one or two other courses during the summer vacation after completing the courses they choose during the semester.

Second, work.

The Canadian government allows students to work 40 hours a week full-time during holidays and 20 hours a week during classes. The tuition fee of a Canadian university in one academic year is about 20,000 Canadian dollars, and the room and board plus miscellaneous fees are almost 1 10,000 Canadian dollars a year, at least 30,000 Canadian dollars a year. Many Canadian students spend four months working to earn some pocket money and accumulate work experience. Although they can't fully earn tuition during the holidays, they can still meet their family expenses.

Third, return to China for vacation.

This way is also a comfortable way. After studying hard for a year, it is also a very good choice to go back to China to relax and visit relatives and friends.

Different families, different students, different ideas, different lifestyles, time is limited, so make rational use of time! I hope the above holiday arrangements can help friends who are going to study abroad in Canada.
