Application Requirements

International applicants are considered on their individual merits, but should have qualifications (approximately) equivalent to university entrance in their homeland.  To review the other criteria for acceptance please go to the Applications and Acceptance webpage.

International Students are requested to submit official academic transcripts (originals, not photocopies) from all schools previously attended and, where these are not in English, to provide an official translation. Applicants must further satisfy current Canadian government standards for immigration to Canada relative to finances, passports, student visas, etc.  These requirements may include depositing (with the College) the first year's total fees. The College requires, in addition, an affidavit from those undertaking support and a signed agreement from the student in which the rights and responsibilities of the student and the College are defined.

When requirements are met, a Visa Support Letter is issued for the student to present in applying for a student visa through the Canadian Embassy or High Commission in his/her own country. An application fee equivalent to $100.00 U.S. is charged for processing international applications.

Students are encouraged to apply at least eight months before their anticipated enrollment date.
*Note: International students must contact our Student Life Department prior to their arrival to ensure proper medical coverage, compulsory for all students.
