International Students: How To Apply

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) Announcement 

On January 22, 2024, the IRCC announced temporary changes to the international student policies. Following the announcement, we have paused the receipt of applications and the processing of Letters of Acceptance (LOAs) for our Toronto and Brampton campuses as we await further direction from the Government of Ontario. We will continue to process applications for the Main (Sault Ste. Marie) Campus. Students eligible for admission to the Main Campus will receive a conditional LOA that will reference the requirement for an attestation letter. We will provide information on attestation letters as it becomes available.
