Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Step 1: Application. To begin the admissions process, students complete and submit an application form. The completed form can be submitted in person or by email. The documents to accompany the application are: Passport; Transcripts for the past 3 years; Vaccination Record (submitted on the first day of school); IELTS or TOEFL test result (optional).
2. Step 2: Conditional Acceptance Letter (if required). After the application is received, a student recruitment specialist will contact you to discuss enrollment options. The admission officer will review the application documents and issue the Conditional Acceptance Letter and the invoice for tuition.
3. Step 3: Tuition Payment. After receiving an offer of admission and an invoice, the full tuition fees must be paid by wire-transfer, bank-transfer, or certified cheques. Email the payment receipt to the school as proof of payment.
4. Step 4: Official Acceptance Letter. Once payment is made in full, the Official Acceptance Letter and Official Receipt are issued.
5. Step 5: Applying for a Study Permit and Visitor Visa. It is the responsibility of parents and students to apply for a Canadian Study permit and Visa depending on the student's nationality. If the study permit application is refused, provide the letter of refusal from the Canadian immigration office, the Letter of Acceptance, and the tuition receipt to the school. Upon receipt of these documents, the tuition fee will be refunded (deducting an administrative fee). If the applicant cancels the application for reasons other than visa refusal, no refund is issued.
6. Step 6: Residence/Homestay Arrangement. The residence provides facilities that are safe, secure, well-maintained, and reasonably priced. Residents are encouraged to engage in activities to build a supportive community that respects diversity, equity and inclusion. The Homestay Program offers a comfortable home atmosphere where students can live with a Canadian family. Host families are knowledgeable in hosting international students and strive to provide a safe, comfortable and caring living environment.
7. Step 7: Arriving to Canada. Inform the student service coordinator when arriving in Canada to arrange for airport pickup.
