If their system is anything like in Quebec (probably is), the three year is the same as a 4 year (or 4 is the same as 5 for engineers).
In Quebec there's a stage between secondary school, and post secondary which lasts 2-3 years.
In terms of years, it looks like this:
Primary:1-6
Secondary:6-11
Pre-Post Secondary: 12-13
Post Secondary 14-17(14-18 for engineering/etc.)
In the end they are equivalent, however differently structured.
- GuiA 9y agoI've studied, taught, interviewed, hired, and worked with many computer science majors from both sides of the system. There's no rule to quickly compare the two in terms of how useful they are in the industry/a research lab. For example, I've found the average MIT or Stanford BSc to be in a similar league as the average French student from a top 5-year school (eg INSA Lyon, Polytechnique, ETH Zürich, etc). On the other hand, the average engineer out of a state university BSc is not quite as good as the average engineer out of a French public university licence program.
