International Student Admissions Information

Obtaining a Study Permit

If you are traveling to Canada to study, you will need a student study permit/student visa awarded
by the Canadian Embassy before traveling to Canada. International applicants must take their
letter of acceptance to the nearest Canadian Embassy to apply for a Student Study Permit/Student
Visa. An immigration officer will help with next steps. Information about the application for study
permits to study in Canada, can be found on the Government of Canada website,

English Proficiency Requirement

All international students must meet Academy Canada’s English proficiency requirements for
acceptance into programs. The college will accept most internationally recognized tests of English
proficiency: CAEL 60, TOEFL paper based 550, TOEFL internet based 79, TOEFL computer based 213
or equivalent, IELTS Academic Test overall band score of 6.0, MELAB minimum 78, PELMO English
Assessment minimum score of 58 (Academy Canada’s preferred English Assessment provider:
Pelmo).

If a language proficiency test other than those referenced above was used, applicants can forward
the results for assessment. If an international applicant has attended an educational institution
(high school or post-secondary) for a period of three years or more where the official language of
instruction was English, the English proficiency test will not be required.

Insurance
International students are required to have insurance while studying in Canada. Proof of insurance
(provider, policy number, and a copy of insurance certificate) must be provided to Academy
Canada prior to registering. If you do not have insurance, our preferred insurance group is
GuardMe. GuardMe gives you the peace of mind that you are in good hands, in case an unforeseen
event happens while you are away from home for just $1.45 CDN per day (approx.). More info can be
