While reading the content of our or other websites, you probably came across one or several abbreviations used in the Canadian and International Education industry that you are not familiar with. Where the heck can I find out what this means, you probably asked yourself. Well, you have come to the right place. Here you will find compiled a list of abbreviations
commonly used in Canada and in many other countries, which pertain specifically to the education sector but which are commonly found in other related fields of endeavour as well. This list is not intended to be an exhaustive, but a sampling of the most common ones used in Canada and many parts of the world.
Why, you might ask, do we have such a long list of abbreviations of associations from Canada? True to the nature of our website we have placed an emphasis on Canadian content.
Please feel free to email us at web [@] gostudy.ca if you think we should add relevant acronym that we have overlooked, or delete an outdated one from our list because it is no longer current.
Thank you.
