Apply to college or university
How do I apply to a college or university in Canada?
Apply using the instructions for your chosen school and program. Each program sets its own requirements, and meeting them does not guarantee a place when space is limited.
Where to begin
- Choose a program and check its admission requirements and application deadline.
- Ask admissions how to provide previous education records and any required language test.
- Submit through the application route specified by the institution and monitor its response.
Before you open the official service
- Previous education records and any language-test results requested by the institution.
Keep your actual documents and account details off this website. Use the official service’s current checklist before applying.
What to check for your situation
There is no single application or deadline for every Canadian college or university. Confirm fees, documents and dates with the school.
Fees, processing times and document rules can change. This page helps you navigate; it does not confirm eligibility or replace the government’s instructions.
