Pyramine Introduction

Canadian Education System

Canada has a strong and well-funded system of public education, largely managed provincially. Consequently, some aspects of the education system can vary between provinces. However, as education is overseen by the federal government, the standard of education remains consistently high throughout the country

Primary Education

Also known as elementary school, this level runs from Kindergarten or Grade 1 (ages six to seven) and runs through to Grade 8 (ages 13 to 14). The school year normally runs from September through to the following June.

Secondary Education

Also known as high school, this level runs from Grade 9 (ages 14 to 15) to Grade 12 (ages 17 to 18). Ontario has a Grade 12+. In Quebec, students attend high school until the age of 16. They may then proceed to CEGEP, a publicly funded twoyear college where students may pursue either a university preparation diploma, or a vocational diploma.

Post-secondary Education

Canada has a wide network of colleges and universities, offering some of the best post-secondary education worldwide

Canada is home to some of the world’s top universities. In fact, 31 Canadian institutions are counted among the best in the world

Canada’s top two institutions – the University of Toronto and the University of British Columbia

– score particularly highly for research impact, which means that these schools produce highquality academic work that is well respected.

Weather in Ontario

Southern Ontario enjoys very warm summers where temperatures can go above 30 degrees Celsius. However, it can get very cold in almost all parts of Ontario in the winter, when temperatures can go below -20, even -30 degrees Celsius. It is very important to ensure that you are prepared for the cold weather. Invest in warm winter clothing, including sweaters, winter jackets, boots, hats, scarves and gloves or mittens. If you do not dress warmly in the winter, you will risk becoming ill or getting frost bite. Frost bite is severe damage to the skin caused by exposure to cold winter winds.

Health Care in Ontario

All basic medical needs for residents of Ontario are covered under the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP). As a Canadian Citizen, Permanent Resident Or Work Permit you can apply for your OHIP card to be eligible for the benefits of this public health insurance plan, as there is a waiting period of at least three months before you obtain your card after applying.

Raw Land

Raw land is land that has never been developed before. Raw land won’t have any utilities such as power and water, and there won’t be any structures on the land. Raw land is privately owned.

Land & Agricultural

There is no restriction on ownership of land or agricultural land in Ontario

When buying land in Ontario, you'll need to have a land survey conducted and figure out zoning for the land. You can get land loans to finance the purchase of land, personal loans, or receive financing from the seller of the land. Land loan lenders will require a down payment of between 30% to 50%, with higher required down payments for remote and inaccessible land. You can purchase privately-owned land from private sellers, or public land owned by the provincial government, also known as Crown land.

Vacant Land

Vacant land is land that is serviced or partially serviced, which means that it may have power, water, septic, road services, and existing improvements or developments on the land. Vacant land is also privately owned.

Crown Land

Most land in Ontario is Crown land, which is public land owned by the provincial government. Nearly all of northern Ontario is Crown land, while southern Ontario is mainly privately-owned land.
