List of Canadian Universities

 Canada has a fine selection of University programs for Bachelor, Masters, Doctorate Degrees and PostDoctorate positions.

University program specialties include some of the world's finest cutting-edge research and technology and traditional arts.

University Admission requirements usually include English or French language skills and prerequisite courses.

University speciality admissions sometimes require specific language tests, math, comprehension tests and personal interviews.

"Affiliated" and "federated" are often used interchangeably when describing a university or university college, but they describe different legal relationships with the parent campus. Affiliated university colleges typically suspend their degree-granting powers so their students are able to officially earn their degree from the "parent" institution. A "federated" university college is where "two or more institutions come together" to create a new university. Examples are below the main alpha university list.
