There are two main types of universities studying in Canada: research type and teaching type.

Universities in Canada are mainly divided into two types: research type and teaching type. Research universities are divided into two categories: doctor of medical law (referred to as doctor of medicine), postdoctoral category (such as University of Toronto, University of Western Ontario and UBC) and comprehensive category (referred to as comprehensive category) (such as University of Waterloo, Simon Fraser University and Victoria University). Apart from the development of medicine and law, and the comprehensive distribution of doctors and postdocs, these two types of universities are research-oriented. The undergraduate education in research universities is almost entirely undertaken by master tutors and doctoral tutors. If students in China want to enter research universities directly, they must have considerable reading and research abilities. In addition to excellent high school scores, college entrance examination scores and language scores (TOEFL or IELTS), students should also have strong exploration and creativity, good self-study and research habits, reasonable academic challenge skills and other software. Because the teaching staff is mainly for graduate students, undergraduate teaching in research universities generally adopts large class system. For China students who are not good at communication, are not used to answering questions in public and are not used to self-study after class, this teaching environment fundamentally disrupts their habits and methods of reading and accepting knowledge, thus affecting their learning quality and shaking their learning confidence. The elimination rate of freshmen and sophomores in research universities is high. If a student can be admitted to many top universities in China, it does not mean that he can be admitted to the top ten research universities in Canada in one step. Even if you pass the exam, you may not survive the first two years. The key reason is the lack or serious lack of software capabilities.

Compared with 67 national universities in Canada, there are more than 3,500 universities in the United States. There are only 228 excellent universities in the United States, accounting for 6.5% of the total number of universities in the United States. Among these 228 American universities, 26 Canadian universities can be compared with the top 565,438+0, accounting for 38.8% of the total number of Canadian universities. This is true in terms of the scientific research level, popularity, teaching ability and scale of universities in both countries. The global popularity of Canadian and American research universities often drives high school graduates in China to choose these universities for undergraduate study.
