Isn't it pretty much the same thing? US people call it college, non US people call it University?

In Canada, college is like a pre-uni or another year of highschool. If we can trust my sister that is. 


Nope. You can't trust your sister.  Here in Canada Collage is more trade or work related. If you want to get a diploma to be a plumber or electrician you go to college.  University is more for pure learning, with degrees such as Science or Arts. You also go to University for professional fields such as Engineering or Law.

That said, Colleges are increasingly offering more diverse content, with programs now including 2-year business, IT or nursing type disciplines.  Those courses can often be transferred to University to complete 4-year degrees.

Welcome to Canada!!!
