However more than 50% of the cost could be saved as a transfer student completing more than half of the degree here in Sri Lanka. The Canadian Transfer Programme at ANC Education gives students access to nearly 100 universities & colleges in Canada. There are nearly 400+ degree programmes students can start in Sri Lanka and graduate from a prestigious university in Canada.
The only prerequisite to the degree programme is a successful completion of O Level which is considered a school leaving certificate or A Level.
