Frequently asked questions

Do Canadian universities expect Canadian English?
Most professors accept both Canadian (colour, organisation, centre) and American English as long as you're consistent within one paper.
How do I improve my academic English fast?
Visit your university writing centre weekly, read peer-reviewed journals in your field, and use Grammarly Premium or LanguageTool for daily writing.
Will my professor lower my grade for grammar mistakes?
Yes, especially in upper-year courses. Most rubrics include 10โ€“20% for clarity and mechanics. Use the writing centre โ€” it's free.
