Ngenxa yoku, kukho umahluko omncinci kwinkqubo yemfundo yephondo ngalinye. Umzekelo, ngelixa onke amaphondo efuna abantwana ukuba baye esikolweni abaphakathi kweminyaka emi-6 ukuya kweli-16, e-Ontario, New Brunswick nase Manitoba amaphondo, abantwana bayacelwa ukuba baye esikolweni de babe neminyaka eli-18.
Njengakwamanye amazwe aphuhlileyo, inkqubo yemfundo yaseCanada inamanqanaba amathathu ahlukeneyo: isikolo samabanga aphantsi, isikolo esiphakamileyo kunye nemfundo ephezulu.
Isikolo samabanga aphantsi siqala kubudala be-6 kwibanga le-1 (Ngaphandle kwenqanaba lokukhetha eliphambi kweprayimari elibizwa ngokuba yinkulisa efumanekayo kubafundi abaneminyaka emi-5 ubudala) kwaye liyaqhubeka ukuya kwibanga lesi-8.
Abafundi bafundiswa ikharityhulam ebanzi kakhulu, equka izibalo, isayensi, izifundo zentlalo, ulwimi (isiNgesi okanye isiFrentshi, kuxhomekeke kwiphondo), ijografi, imbali, umculo, ubugcisa kunye nemfundo yomzimba.
Izikolo eziphakamileyo eCanada zikhonza abafundi abaneminyaka eli-14 ukuya kweli-18 kumabanga 9-12. Iminyaka emibini yokuqala yindlela yokufunda, kodwa ukuqala kwibanga le-11, abafundi banokukhetha ukuqhubeka kule ndlela yokulungiselela ikholeji.
Okanye, nangaliphi na inqanaba, unokukhetha indlela ethe kratya yobuchule yokudibanisa imfundo esisiseko exutywe nemfundo yezobugcisa kunye noqeqesho kwiqela elithile lomsebenzi othile.
