Planning for Post Secondary Education

Canada is a big country. Distance learning that lets you study via the Internet or other methods such as cable TV or correspondence makes a lot of sense. It also opens virtual doors for students who simply can’t, for whatever reason, study away from home.

For a listing of programs and schools offering distance education, you can check out the Canadian Virtual University, an electronic resource that offers over 300 programs and more then 2 400 courses over the Internet or through distance education.

You can also take a look at the list below of some top Canadian colleges, universities and other institutions providing thousands of courses at a distance. Please note that these Web sites are not Government of Canada sites, and most of them are available in only one language (English or French).
