The article on the Canadian secondary school system discusses when is the best time to go to secondary school in Canada from the perspective of the school system. The following article discusses when to go to secondary school in Canada based on the gap between the admission requirements of Canadian universities and the school system in Hong Kong:

Maxway recommends that friends who are considering attending Canadian secondary schools study for at least 2 years (i.e. completing Form 4 in Hong Kong and then Grade 11). This will allow enough time to arrange credits, improve English, and apply for university, as Canadian university applications must be completed in the first semester of Grade 12 (i.e. the last year of secondary school).

In addition, Canadian universities have requirements for elective subjects in secondary school for science, engineering, and business . Since Hong Kong has subject division after Form 3, students who have less than 2 science subjects, M1 or M2 in Form 4 may need to consider going to Canadian secondary schools after Form 3 to meet the major requirements of Canadian universities .

Attention Canadian PRs or citizens! If your children return to Canada to study at university , even if you have been back for decades, you do not have to pay Canadian taxes. When your children turn 18 or 19 (depending on the province), they can pay local student tuition to complete Canadian university . The tuition for Canadian local students is only HK $ 42,000 , which is very comparable to studying at university in Hong Kong.

Therefore, those with Canadian citizenship should pay more attention to the university subject choices that the Form 4 elective subjects can bring you, especially because Hong Kong university admissions only look at the Best 5 grades and not necessarily the Best 5 combinations. However, Canadian universities require that the secondary school elective subjects are related to your university major. If you use Hong Kong thinking to choose subjects, there is a chance that you will not even be able to apply for a business program at a Canadian .
