description The aim of research is to describe the foreign experience of open educational resources implementation in higher education on the example of Canada. The concept of open education in this country requires federal and regional support from the government. Currently, there is a number of initiatives, aimed at maximizing the development of open educational resources. An increasing number of open educational resource initiatives in Canadian universities offer free courses to both Canadians and international students. National open education initiatives include the following projects: “Open Data”, the federal government “pilot” project; support of Canadian Council of Ministers of Education within 2012 Paris Open Educational Resources Declaration; and the Creative Society of Canada. British Columbia and Alberta support open educational resources as a part of the most important open education initiatives at the regional level. However, a number of problems prevent the full development of the open education system.Materials and methods of research include discourse-analysis of domestic and foreign scientific sources, devoted to the problems of open education. The methodological basis is the study of the legal framework of open education, a retrospective analysis of the open education development process in Canadian universities and the analysis of existing open educational projects.The results of the study show that the need to implement the policy of open education imposes new requirements to the process of determining the level of educational programs development and the formation of a unified system of formal credits.Conclusion. The Canadian examination of open educational resources regulates all sectors of education and training in the country. This examination is a review of the results of open education principles implementation at the national and regional levels. The article discusses the features of both regional and foreign projects functioning. The advantages of open educational policy for different segments of the population are described.
