Semester abroad in Canada

This year I will be applying to study abroad in semester 2 of my 3rd year. I am looking at the University of Toronto (or another Canadian university) but I need to provide explanation of how my credits from Canada will be converted when I return to the UK. Can anyone who's studied abroad in Canada explain the credits system and what the equivalent would be at the University of Glasgow? For example in my 3rd year at Glasgow I have to take 120 credits worth of classes (60 per semester) - the UofT website says their entire undergrad programme is worth 14 credits with no breakdown of how many credits are to be taken per semester/year. I think each class is worth 0.5 credits but I'm not sure how many I'd have to take if I'm only there for a semester, and if a 0.5 credit class would translate to say a 20 credit class at Glasgow.

Really hope this makes sense!!
