Canada is globally recognized for both its education system for children ages 6-18 and higher education establishments such as colleges and universities. All Canadian public schools employ only government-certified teachers and are publicly funded, where free education is available to Canadian citizens and permanent residents. Additionally, Canadian high school diplomas are internationally recognized.

Canada ranked as the fourth best country in the world for the level of its education system on a global scale in 2022 and has ranked in the top 5 since 2016. In 2022, Canada ranked higher than other tier 1 countries, such as France, Sweden, and Switzerland, just to name a few of its biggest competitors.

Many of Canada’s college and university graduates advance to participating in hands-on learning opportunities like internships, clinical placements, practicums, and co-op placements. Moreover, nearly 200 of the world’s most highly cited researchers are from Canada, making the latter the sixth country with the most cited researchers globally.
