Value Of A Canadian Education

Sustained immigration over the last 10 years makes the Canadian population one of the most multicultural in the world, with 20% of all the people who live in Canada foreign-born. Due to the large percentage of immigrants, Canada is also known as the world’s most tolerant country and a place where people from various countries, cultures, ethnic groups and religions can feel comfortable together. Canada is unequivocally one of the world’s most socially progressive countries in the world.

Canada is the second largest country in the world and offers expats a warm welcome as well as great job opportunities. Furthermore, Canada is one of the safest countries to live in, and many expats come to live in Canada because of the great quality of life the country has to offer.

In Canada, education is typically seen as an investment that will lead to future benefits for both the individual and society. One of these benefits is increased employability. There is a strong relationship between income and education, as high-income Canadians tend to be highly educated.

  • Canada ranks 1st in the world in access to advanced education, due in part to the country’s 27 globally ranked universities
  • Canada ranks 1st among 34 OECD countries in the proportion of 25-64-year-olds with a college/university education
  • Canadian students are among the top performers around the globe, ranking 4th in the world in the categories of reading, writing, and problem-solving
  • Women spend an average of 15.5 years in school
  • Canada spends more on education (per capita) than any other country in the G8 (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States)
  • All universities and colleges accept international students for undergraduate and postgraduate programs

Apply to Universities and Colleges in Canada and Around the Globe:

Upon the completion of all required courses at OES, students will graduate and receive the Ontario Secondary Diploma (OSSD), which is recognized in Canada and across the globe. Canada’s universities maintain high standards of academic excellence and are consistently ranked among the top universities in the world. Students who hold a Canadian high school diploma have a much easier time overall when applying to these universities.

An international student does not require a study permit in order to take online courses at Ontario eSecondary School. However, if you plan to physically enter Canada in order to study, you may need a specific visa or permit. OES does not provide these services. Please contact Citizenship and Immigration Canada for more information on entrance and residency permits and visas.

  1. The student must forward a copy of their government-issued ID to info@oeshighschool.com. Acceptable examples include passport, driver’s licence, or birth certificate.
  2. When taking a course that requires a prerequisite, OES requires a copy of the student’s official transcript to prove he or she has met the equivalent of the prerequisite course requirement. If the student’s transcript is not written in English, an English translation of the transcript along with the original must be submitted to OES at info@oeshighschool.com
  3. Proficiency in English is a requirement of all students who take courses with OES. Students may be required to complete the English Language Placement Assessment in order to determine their level of English language competency for enrollment.

IELTS and TOEFL:
If you are an international student and have completed IELTS and/or TOEFL please provide us with this documentation with a score of 4.0 or above, however if you have not completed it you are not required to complete it for OES admission.

As a part of the admission process, you will be expected to pass the OES English proficiency assessment that will help us determine your ability to read, write and comprehend the English language so you can succeed in all of our courses.

Note: Certain colleges and universities in Canada do not require international students to take the IELTS and TOEFL test if a student has an Ontario Secondary School Diploma.

Student Stories

 

Venetsiya is a graduate of Ontario eSecondary School. She was an international student that earned her Ontario Secondary School Diploma through OES and was able to apply to study medicine as a result. OES is a great option for international students who need to earn credits from a Canadian institution or an Ontario accredited institution in order to be considered for some post-secondary studies. Don’t just take it from us though, hear it from Venetsiya!

  • It was a great experience with OES High School and the teacher, Mr. Reel, as well as the administrator, Mara, are very kind, understanding, and responded to all of my emails super fast! I highly recommended OES to all students who need any high school credits! Thank you so much OES, I am very happy with my involvement with you!

    I had an incredible experience at Ontario eSecondary School while taking the MDM4U credit with Mr. Reel. His teaching made learning Data Management both enjoyable and understandable. Also, Mara's exceptional support during and after the enrollment process made everything quick and seamless. The kindness and support shown by everyone at OES made learning so much more easy and fun!

    My experience with OES is summarised in one word "Phenomenal". I highly recommend this institution to anyone who would like to improve or expand your educational requirements. Both the teachers and administration are professionals and provide top-notch services with outstanding quality . The programs allows the flexibility to complete at your own pace, which is important.
    Thanks OES!!

    Ontario eSecondary School was such a great opportunity for me and I really enjoyed the work that I did with them. Their courses are well structured, ensuring student success and understanding. I felt that I always had someone to ask when I had questions or concerns and my teachers were extremely quick with their responses. Since I was able to complete all my course work on my own, I learned a lot about time management and was able to meet my program requirements on time. I would 100% recommend courses from this school for anyone looking to upgrade their highschool course requirements or finish highschool. Good luck!

  • My daughter took a grade 9 geography course and had a wonderful experience! Her teacher was very responsive and the course material was excellent and just the right amount. We will definitely be coming back to this online school in the future.

    As this program offers, it's a way for anyone to obtain credits through an method with 24/7 assistance with an on-demand, unlimited and fully online tutoring service. Fast and accessible as you work at your own pace to fit your schedule.

    I was given a yearly time period to complete a course and finished within 3-4 months. Your assigned teacher isn't obligated to delegate you, but just like any field of learning. There're expectations and deadlines.

    My son recently completed Challenge and Change, a grade 12 social science course from overseas. His experience from registration, through to course work, exam competition and facilitating his grade to his transcript was exceptional, responsive, and professional. His teacher Mara was more engaged than many of his previous in-person teachers. Thank you!!!

    Amazing school experience where the teachers are there to help facilitate learning and excellence, not to put their students down, like many teachers do. I re-took grade 11 university functions and received a much better education and final grade than my experience in public schooling in Southern Ontario. I would highly recommend this if you are organized and can meet your own deadlines.

    Ontario eSecondary School is by far the best online learning academy in Ontario. My teacher was very great as he was easily accessible, had very fast response times, and was extremely friendly. He even had the chance to do our live meeting on Thanksgiving Monday! The course content for the class I took was great, and will be very beneficial for post-secondary learning. It was amazing that they provided free online tutoring for students, that feature really stood out to me when selecting OES for this course. You will not regret taking a course here!
