In Canada, college is different than university.

For example, you do not get a degree from a college, but some kind of certificate or diploma. College programs in Canada are usually very specialised, often relating to a trade.

University in Canada is basically the same as college in the states, being more academic than hands-on stuff and generally resulting is some kind of degree.
