How to Apply to a School, College or University

Once you have chosen a place to study you will need to apply to that school, college or university. Every school has different rules on how to apply.

Make sure you apply early for your course of study. Apply at least six months early to primary and secondary schools. University and college students should apply a year before they want to start their studies.

Contact the schools where you want to study to learn how to apply. They will give you the right application forms and be able to tell you about:

·          how much it costs to apply;

·               •  tuition fees;

·               •  health insurance;

·               •  rent and how much it will cost to live in Canada; and

·               •  language tests.

Fill out the application form for the school or schools of your choice, and submit it according to the instructions provided. If the school admits you as a student, they will send you a letter of acceptance. You need a letter of acceptance in order to apply for a Study Permit.
