In general, the program choice depends on a few different factors. This includes the student’s current level of education, their goals and available budget, whether they are aiming for a college or a university, and the duration of the program. In addition, the abilities and interests of the applicant as well as demand for specific fields play a role in selecting a specialty. Lastly, international students should take into account that they must study at a DLI (Designated Learning Institution) licensed university in order to obtain a work permit in the future.
Before sending an application for admission to a selected university, you will need to confirm the list of required documents and submission deadline on the official website. Generally speaking, the main documents are a certificate and an application with grades, the results of a language exam and a letter of motivation. Deciding on which semester to begin your studies is part of this process. Applications for admission to Canadian universities for most programs are accepted three times a year: in September, January and May.
