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!

    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!

  • I took a high school course with his institution in order to qualify for the college program I wanted to take.

    The administrative staff and instructors were all very congenial and swift in their responses. Access to tutoring is phenomenal and I have nothing but praise for my experience with this educational provider.

    I completed a Grade 11 University Physics class with OES which was required for a college program that I was looking to pursue.

    My experience was fantastic; the opportunity that OES gives you to learn at your own pace is really great! The tools material provided to assist you in learning are more than adequate. They provide a free online tutoring service which is extremely helpful in a pinch!

    Everyone, including my teacher and the administration, was so helpful especially Mara (Program Admin)! She was always available to assist me with any questions/requests I had. Thank you OES!
