International applicants

Vanier College welcomes applications from international students.
Processing times for immigration documents from both the Government of Canada and the Government of Quebec can be lengthy, and the number of Certificat d’acceptation du Québec (CAQ) issued is limited.

Government guidelines recommend allowing a minimum of 4 to 6 months for the processing of both the CAQ and the study permit. Applicants are strongly encouraged to plan ahead to ensure sufficient time to obtain these documents.

Applicants who are Convention Refugees or international students should not apply through SRAM.

Instead, please email our Academic Advisor, who will guide you step by step through the application process.
