International Learners

 

 

International Applicant or International Student?

 

We consider you an international applicant if you have completed your Bachelor's degree outside of Canada. You are still considered an international applicant if you completed a Master's or Ph.D. in Canada.  

Being an "international applicant" does not affect your status or tuition if you are Canadian or a permanent resident.

Currently, studying in Canada?

If you are an international student completing a Bachelor's degree in Canada, follow the domestic application process. Upon acceptance, you will still be considered an international student and will be required to pay international tuition.
