Canadian students have many chances to enter university, even if they don't do well in their high school studies. For example, a student who does not finish Grade 12 can still be admitted to university as a mature student, when they are at least 23 years old or older. And a student whose high school grades are too low for university, can first attend college, and then apply later on for university entrance.
In Canada, colleges are very different academic institutions than universities. At college, students take job-related courses, they receive a diploma after two or three years of study, and they learn very practical skills. At university, students take a broad range of courses, they receive a Bachelor's degree after four years of study, and they learn theoretical knowledge and new ways of thinking.
Canada's focus on student-centred education means that students can change their major, as well as transfer to a different college or university, if they want to. In fact, it is pretty much expected that most students will change their major at least once during their post-secondary education.加拿大学生有很多的机会进入大学，即使他们在高中没有很好的成绩。例如，一个还没完成12年级的学生仍然可以像成熟学生进入大学，当他们至少23岁或者更大年纪。如果一个学生他的高中成绩太低而进不了大学，他可以先进入职业学校，稍后再申请进入综合性大学。
在加拿大，学院和学术学校和综合性大学是不一样的。在学院，学生选择的是与职业相关的课程，他们在两到三年的学习后能拿到毕业文凭，他们学到的是专门的技能。而在综合性大学，学生要选择读设计范围很广的学科，在四年后的学习他们会得到学士学位，他们会学到理论知识和新思维的想法。
加拿大的教育着重在学生自主教育，意思是学生如果想，可以转换他们的专业，也可以自由转换学院或者学校。事实上，我们很希望学生在后高中教育的时候能转换他们的专业。
