I. Academic achievements
No matter which stage you apply for studying in Canada, academic performance is the basic requirement for university admission, which mainly includes usual grades, exam results and college entrance examination results. When applying for Canadian junior college/undergraduate study, most colleges value the applicant's average score in high school for three years. A better school needs to provide domestic college entrance examination transcripts to have a certain competitive advantage. When applying for graduate students in Canada, the average score of four years is the reference for major universities.
1. University stage
In fact, it is relatively easy for domestic students to apply for Canadian universities, because the admission requirements are not high, and most universities only require qualified grades. There may be a few institutions that require the average score of applicants to be around 75-80.
2. Undergraduate stage
Some students want to apply for Canadian undergraduate courses directly after the college entrance examination, so applicants must have at least excellent academic performance, that is, the average score should not be lower than 80 points, and the general admission requirements are more stringent. Not only the academic performance is good, but also the domestic college entrance examination results are an important reference.
3. Postgraduate stage
Domestic undergraduate graduates who want to go to Canada for graduate studies must have four years of qualified academic performance, that is, the average score should not be lower than 80, and the average score of most institutions should be above 85.
Second, English proficiency requirements
Major universities in Canada basically teach in English, and IELTS scores and TOEFL scores are acceptable. International students can choose to take one of the exams according to their own situation. As far as English scores are concerned, there are junior college stage, undergraduate stage and postgraduate stage. Students with poor English need not worry. They can apply for language courses first and get qualified language scores before entering all major stages of study.
1. University stage
The IELTS score is not less than 5.5, and individual majors in individual colleges reach 6.0-6.5; The TOEFL score is around 75.
2. Undergraduate stage
The IELTS score should not be lower than 6.0, and most institutions should reach at least 6.5; TOEFL score of 80 is the minimum standard for admission.
3. Postgraduate stage
It's almost the same as the entrance requirements of undergraduate course, but you want to go to a good school and major, so you can be more sure of getting high marks!
Third, the economic requirements of family background.

1. University stage

2. Undergraduate stage

3. Inventory of misunderstandings in studying in Canada
One, everyone can be admitted twice.
Canadian universities have relatively loose language requirements for students. If the academic ability meets the requirements, then everyone can submit their own applications directly. If the language is not up to standard, it is common to submit a double admission application.
However, it is necessary to confirm the number of places for colleges and majors. Compared with direct admission, the number of places for double admission will be much less, which also means that the requirements for academic qualifications will be higher. Not all students who apply for double admission will have the opportunity to enroll. Don't be too lucky.
You can graduate in two or three years.
Depending on the stage you choose, not all stages need to be studied for three years, and not all stages can be completed within three years, because the key assessment is the completion of your credits. If the results meet the graduation criteria, you can apply for graduation and accept a comprehensive assessment.
According to the length of study of most students, undergraduate study takes 3-4 years, master usually takes 2-3 years, and doctor takes 3 years. If the master's degree is to continue studying, it will take 3-5 years. The later you study, the higher the requirements for students' academic ability and research level.
Third, visa history will affect the application.
Generally, it will only have a positive impact, or it will not be affected. If you have gone abroad and successfully passed the visa examination, it will have a positive impact on your application for a student visa. If it is rejected, it doesn't matter.
Because the main content of the auditor's assessment is the materials provided by everyone, it will not affect the students' judgment because of the attitude of visa officers in other countries. What everyone should focus on is the deposit for studying abroad, which can prove that the family has enough strength to support studying abroad.
Learning a language is a waste of time.
Canada belongs to an English-speaking country. English is used in school classes and daily communication, and English has been used as a second foreign language in China for many years. Everyone will learn English from an early age and have a solid foundation. Therefore, many students think it is unnecessary to study extra.
What we should understand is that China's English study is written. Although we can get good grades in the exam, we still need to receive real application training, and we can improve our study at home.
