Payment Information

Applicants who successfully pass the screening test will be notified within one week.

If you are a permanent resident or a Canadian citizen, you will receive a confirmation letter from the program detailing tuition payment instruction.

Please note that applicant must pay the full tuition before we issue an official Letter of Acceptance, which is required to apply for your study permit.

Once the tuition is paid, it is non-refundable. However, in cases where Immigration Canada denies your application for a Study Permit, our program will refund the full tuition when we receive the following documents at least 2 weeks before the program starts:

  • The original written documentation from Immigration Canada verifying that the Study Permit has been denied,

You will also receive a full refund in case where your study permit is not received before the start of the diploma program.

(NB: Translation Workshop students are not eligible to apply for an international study permit.)
