Post Secondary Information for International Students

post secondary information for international students

If you are currently studying in Canada with a valid study permit, you are still considered an international student.  

Proof of English proficiency is required for students who have been in the country for 4 years or less. You are not required to provide an English language test score if your first language is English AND your four most recent years of full-time education were taught in an entirely English-language school system either in Canada or in another country. 

Worrying about your English language test scores while you are academically competitive for undergraduate programs?

Many universities offer Pre-University English Language Transition Programs to high school students who are academically qualified to study at the University, but do not meet the University’s English language requirements.  You might be a candidate for this program.  Please always consult the University’s admission office if you are such a candidate.  Here are some popular programs for your interest: University of Toronto York University Queen’s University “QBridge”   University of Waterloo “BASE” McMaster University “MELD” University of Western Ontario “Boost”
