Meanwhile, a DEC is a three-year degree (une technique) done at a CÉGEP, and it's the kind of degree you would do at Algonquin. This includes social workers, dental hygienists, cops, educators for young children, engineering technicians, etc.
Ontario also has these three streams (trades, college, university). The big difference is that CÉGEP is common to both the college and university stream, as students are funnelled through CÉGEP for a pre-university DEC.

Look at the programs they have.
This is more an educational and job re-insertion thing for "adults" who may have interrupted their schooling at a younger age. |
Confirming Kelnoz's comment. So pre-University (two years), Techniques (three years) and Trades. There is some overlap between CFPs and Cégeps, but generaly Cégeps have the career programs (architecture, techniques policière, health professionals...) while CFPs have trades (plumber, électricien, brick laying).

Yes, Quebec has three years bachelors. I guess because intermediate Cegep is two years, they figure they can knock off a year at the bachelor level (so 13 years before university instead of 12 years in Ontario). Medical school is also quite different than other provinces, but I'm still too confused to explain that one.
