As someone who graduated from high school this year, but in a different country, could someone explain to me the Canadian equivalents to terms like "A-level" and "AS system"? If possible.

So an "A-level" is like a departmental exam? You have an "A-level" for Math, one for Biology, etc.?
Are there "B-Level"s for... slower... children?
What is an "AS System"?
Do you just write these "A-levels" at the end of high school? Or do you have to do them every year?"I wrote a song about dental floss but did anyone's teeth get cleaner?" -Frank Zappa

Sort of, yes. But they're not called B-Levels. They're more vocational and less academic.
What is an "AS System"?
It's where you take half an A-Level in one year. It's a daft system that's only been recently introduced.
Do you just write these "A-levels" at the end of high school? Or do you have to do them every year?
You study for your A-Level exams for two academic years between the ages of 16 and 18. Results are decided by coursework throughout the two years and exams at the end of the second year.
Before that, however, the kids will have taken their GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education???) exams, which also take 2 years (10th and 11th grade). The less academically gifted kids leave at this point, not many people do A-Levels without then going on to University (although it's perfectly possible to do so, just unusual these days).
It is usual for people to take 10-13 GCSEs and 3-4 A-Levels.If I'm posting here then Counterglow must be down.Comment
