Canada publishes an official register: Designated Learning Institutions, from the IRCC. We read it daily, and where we have matched an institution to it the profile carries a mark.
11 listings in Canada. No account needed.
We list 11 polytechnics and universities of applied sciences in Canada. By city: 1 in Toronto, 1 in Red Deer, 1 in Grande Prairie and 1 in Edmonton, and 1 more in 1 other city (6 with no city recorded). Across all its institutions, the subjects we hold most data for are engineering, medicine and health, business and management, art and design. Each profile names the public register it comes from and links to the institution's own website, which is where fees and admissions are confirmed.
