Canadian universities with high acceptance rates
Canadian universities admitting 60% or more of applicants. Canada is often chosen for post-study work rights rather than selectivity, which makes this list more useful than a ranking for most families weighing it.
88 universities listed. 88 of them publish acceptance rate; where a school does not publish one we say so rather than estimating it.
