Continuing Cambridge A level in Canada

[aspirant256]

Posting for my nephew. He would be giving his Cambridge AS exams in October 2021, I want to know if it's possible if he can continue the A level in Canada? I have siblings in Canada who can be his legal guardian.

Expert opinion, please. Thank you.

Sure, it's possible provided his parents are able to pay around $15,000 in tuition per year. He will need to be accepted by a school and then apply for a study permit.

Tuition fee is a non-issue, can you tell me the process or guide to where I can find how to get admission?

You will need to contact the school he plans to attend to determine if they are willing to accept a international student. Then he'll need to apply for a study permit: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/study-permit.html

I know how to apply for a study permit since I am currently waiting on my application. How do we look for admission in schools for A-level studies, is my question.

Someone will need to spend time contacting schools in the area where your siblings live to determine if any of them are able to accept international students at this time.

There are no A-level studies in Canada. You'll be looking to get him admitted for grade 12 at a secondary school.

As @scylla said, you can get accepted into school but it will be hard to find a school that provides A-Levels in their curriculum

Can we get admission to the university for bachelors after AS level? like if it's equivalent to 12 grade in Canada.

No - AS level is not the equivalent of grade 12 in Canada.

No, AS is Grade 11

I just finished my A levels does he have to do them when he gets there? because I know people that instead of doing their last year of A levels went on and joined a regular Canadian HS to finish . That in itself granted them smooth entry to most of the unis in Canada some are able to apply for Scholarships that someone like me that did A2 can’t apply for
