Browse Programs
Step 2 Fill out your application
$125 non-refundable application fee
Include scanned, original, colour copies of the following documents with your application.
All documents that aren’t in English must be accompanied by a notarized, official translation into English.
- Passport data pages
Data pages are the part of your passport that includes your name, citizenship, photo, and other identity details.
- High school and any post-secondary transcripts
- Proof of English Language Proficiency
Not required if you are entering the English Language Training Program
- Any other attachments requested in the program requirements
If you don't see your program of choice in Education Planner, it is either already full or is not being offered.
Step 3 Wait to hear from us
We’ll send you an application confirmation email. Watch your email inbox and junk email folder. We’ll also email you if we need anything else to assess your application.
If you have met the admission requirements for your program and there is an available seat, you will get an offer letter within 4-6 weeks.
Step 4 Pay your deposit
To accept your offer of admission, pay your tuition deposit of $10,000. That money will go towards your tuition for your first year of studies.
Step 5 Apply for your Study Permit
When we process your deposit we’ll email you an official letter of acceptance, a receipt and official details about your studies.
You can submit that letter to the Canadian Consulate to apply for your study permit. This process may take several months. That’s why we recommend applying as early as possible.

If you’ve completed all the above steps, it’s time to move on to your pre-travel checklist.
