1) Colleges
College is an institution where you will get a 'diploma certificate' which could be of 1 year till 3 years maximum for bachelors. After the end of your study duration, you receive a 'Diploma certificate' which is different from 'Degree'. If you are studying in a college then it is said that you are doing 'Diploma' and after completion, you will get your diploma certificate.
It is also called 'Professional Study' and respective certificate which you will receive is called 'Professional Degree' but generally it is known as 'diploma' and 'diploma certificate'. Now let us talk about the fees structure of the college. Colleges in Canada have fees anywhere between 14,000 CAD to 18,000 CAD per year depending on the college and your field of interest.
Generally, courses like computer technician, network technician, are available and other related jobs to 'technician' are available for 'diploma certificate' holder.

2) University
University is an institution where you will get a 'University degree' which could of 3 years to 4 years for bachelors and 2 years for Masters depending on the university and Course. When you are studying at University it is said that you are studying 'Bachelors or Masters'.
