First method: a high school graduate with a TOEFL score of 550 or an IELTS score of 6.0 can directly apply and study at a University in Canada. This method is relatively hard for Chinese students because Canada's Department of Education considers a diploma from a Chinese high school as only 24 academic credits, while the demands for entering a Canadian University are 30 academic credits. At present, Canada's famous universities usually will not directly accept Chinese high school graduates, however a small number of institutes of higher education have opened up their doors somewhat.

Method 2: attend a language institute, and after completing language courses and other basic courses, apply to and attend a publicly established Canadian university. Although this method requires a bit more money, it is good because students already have Canadian academic records and English scores when they apply and attend a university, therefore the assurance that they will succeed is greater, and they also have the opportunity to attend a famous school.

Method 3: apply to and study at a college that provides transfer credits from courses that can be used at a university, after two years of courses, directly apply and enter a university as a third year student. Although this method takes about as much time and money as method two, it is however more direct.
