<p>For Quebec students, three years at McGill is the norm, due to their CEGEP. In fact, first year at McGill is called year 0 and 4th year is called year 3. A regular B.A. or B.Sc. in English Canada is normally a three-year degree without any external credits. Of course, to go on to graduate studies one needs a four-year bachelor’s (what many Canadian universities call an Honours degree).</p>
