The Best Community Colleges in Canada

In Canada, the community college is often referred to as an institute, a regional college or simply a college. Community colleges fill a crucial niche in the Canadian higher education system as they offer academic courses with technical training. Class sizes are typically smaller in Canada's community colleges, provide a greater opportunity for distance learning, and are more accommodating to transfer students and more inclusive with requirements for admission. Community colleges are far-flung across Canada, from Calgary to Nova Scotia and in cities in between. Some have long histories, others are faith-based, and still others provide specialized training.
