About Us

 

History

Winny commenced operations in 1982, primarily helping artisans and workers to find employment in the then booming construction industry in the Middle East. Value-added facilitation services like for foreign Visa, overseas work-permit and international travel were essential to succeed in highly competitive industry. In the process of gaining knowledge and developing skills to provide these services, Winny also learnt about the similar services required by bright and meritorious students desirous of pursuing higher education in internationally renowned academic institutions.
While the demand for manpower in the Middle-East kept fluctuating, the number of Indian students seeking education abroad swelled. Though the United Kingdom continued to be a destination of choice, the USA attracted more students, offering not just the variety of degrees and programs but also plenty of employment opportunities.
As education gained the status of an 'industry', more developed countries opened their doors to overseas students. Canada, Australia and New Zealand - the three Anglophone nations - became the alternative choices for Indian students with at least elementary knowledge of - if not proficient in - English language.
The second-generation of founders of Winny attended structured training programs, gained recognition and established strategic alliances with academic institutions of repute.
After twenty five years since the modest beginning in 1982, Winny Immigration & Education Services Private Limited was incorporated as a Company with Limited liabilities under the Indian Companies Act. With eight associates in India and a sister-concern each in Canada and New Zealand, WIES is well poised to play a major role in International Student Recruitment Counseling.

Study in Canada


Canada Education System

The structure of Canadian education system includes kindergarten, elementary/junior high/middle school, secondary/high school and post-secondary education. Education in Canada is administered by each provincial and territorial government hence there are some differences between the education systems in each province and territory. All provinces and territories offer free and universal elementary and secondary schooling for 12 years, except Quebec where it is up to 11 years. Education is mandatory to the age of between 15 and 18, based on the province.

Kindergarten

Education generally begins with kindergarten. British Columbia and Ontario also provide Junior Kindergarten. In some areas, kindergarten is either not needed or it is not available at all. Generally, five years old children enter kindergarten.

Elementary

Elementary school generally includes grades one through six (for students aged approximately six to 12 years), when junior high school is the next step. In some areas, elementary school is stretched up to grade eight.

Secondary

Secondary school, often called high school, generally runs grades 9 through 12. In regions having middle school and junior high, it also includes grades 7 and 8.

Post-secondary

Post-secondary education is also termed as Career College, Vocational School, Community College, University and Grad School. At this level you can earn a Bachelor\'s degree, and can continue studies to acquire a Master\'s or a Doctorate degree. Vocational students can earn certificates and diplomas that can count as an added skill in various trades.

Public and Private

Canada\'s education system encompasses public schools, which are free and funded by the government, and private schools, for which students have to pay. At the post-secondary level, public colleges and universities still need students to pay tuition, but it is comprehensively less than tuition at private universities.

Multicultural Society

Being a multicultural society Canada allows you to understand each other and does not encourage hatred and violence. Canada is high on tourist preferred destination itineraries, as it offers a unique peek into its multi-cultural and bio-geographical diversity. It is relatively free from all sorts of discrimination and divide, a fact most Canadians are proud about. Canada advocates multiculturalism by encouraging all Canadians to participate in all aspects of life. Everyone in Canada is treated as equal. Everyone has a right to say. Hatred is not encouraged in Canada. Everyone has a right to preserve and protect their own tradition and people there respect each other’s right to do the same. They will respect and accept anyone who respects and accepts them.

Canada celebrate religious freedom

The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms protects your freedom to practice your tradition and religion. It advocates that you must be respectful of others’ beliefs as well.Canadians use their right to vote and decide who will govern the country. Canada is a democratic country. People in Canada have several rights to amend laws and the governments.

Canada’s public health care system

Canada’s health insurance system is set up to address people’s requirements for health care rather than their ability to make the payment. Often termed as Medicare, the system is tailored to ensure that all residents of Canada have easy access to health care facilitations from doctors and hospitals. All Canadians and permanent residents may get health insurance. Getting a health insurance allows you to get medical treatment without making direct payment. They are paid through your taxes. Simply presenting your health insurance card to the hospital or medical clinic will get you medical services.
