When Americans speak of a person "graduating" with no further clarification, what exactly do they mean? And do Canadians mean the same thing? I suspect the meaning in Britain is not the same.

Applies equally to all those institutions? Not so in Britain.

I didn't want to pre-judge the answers people gave, but in Britain it is reserved for people leaving a university with (normally) a bachelor's degree. It is NEVER used for high school or any other sort of sub-university education.

 A "graduate" is the holder of an academic degree or diploma (straight out of the dictionary!).
