Canada is an ideal destination for higher education studies; it is sought by almost half a million applicants from all over the world. The icing on the cake for Indian students who aspire to study in Canada is that a recent educational strategy set up by the Canadian Ministry of Education stresses on expanding the number of foreign students. This means that international students are now more than welcome in Canada than ever before.
Canada has a total of 13 provinces and every single province has a world-class university. In addition to this, Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Ottawa and Quebec carry the largest foreign-student population. Canadian universities are equipped with top-notch educational facilities and extremely skilled and erudite faculty. Many Canadian higher educational institutions stand at par with leading universities from the U.S. and the UK. Some of the top-ranked Canadian universities are:
University of Toronto (among the top 30 best universities in Canada)
McGill University (among the top 50 best universities in Canada)
University of British Columbia (among the top 40 best universities in Canada)
University of Alberta (among the top 150 best universities in Canada)

Here are the main categories of taught programmes- Master of Arts (MA), Master of Science (MSc), Master of Business Administration (MBA), Master of Fine Arts (MFA) and Master of Engineering (MEng), with each lasting for 1-2 years.
