Program overview
A four year midwifery degree with clinical placements, covering reproductive physiology, antenatal and postnatal care, labour and birth, newborn care and supervised clinical practice.
Bachelor of Midwifery is offered by very few Canadian universities, and Mount Royal is one of the small number that runs it, which makes places correspondingly limited and competition correspondingly heavy. The 90 percent entry bar reflects that scarcity rather than the academic difficulty of the subject itself, so a strong application matters as much as the marks.
Bachelor of Midwifery is taught at Mount Royal University in Calgary, Alberta, a public undergraduate university and a designated learning institution. Because Bachelor of Midwifery is a degree it is exempt from the Canadian field of study requirement, so completing Bachelor of Midwifery supports a Post-Graduation Work Permit of up to three years without the subject being tested against an eligibility list. An Alberta attestation letter is required with the study permit application for Bachelor of Midwifery, and the university issues it with the letter of acceptance.
Applicants to Bachelor of Midwifery need Grade 12 or Class 12 with a minimum of 90 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.5 with no band below 5.5, and tuition for Bachelor of Midwifery is recorded at CAD 23,800 a year with a CAD 100 application fee. No scholarship is recorded against Bachelor of Midwifery. Bachelor of Midwifery lists three entry windows, in September and January to 2027. Apply Study Visa manages the Bachelor of Midwifery application, the deposit, the letter of acceptance and the Canadian study permit as one process.

Admission requirements
Who can apply (guide for international students):
- Education: Grade 12 or Class 12 at the percentage stated for this programme.
- English: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 5.5; TOEFL iBT 86 with at least 20 in every section; PTE Academic 58 with 55 in every component; or the Duolingo English Test at 120.
- Application and deposit: An application fee of CAD 100 applies. Confirm the tuition deposit and its refundability in writing before any money is transferred.
- Scholarship: No scholarship is recorded against this programme. Budget the full tuition.
- Additional requirement: Registration as a midwife in Alberta is a separate regulatory process after graduation. Clinical placement availability for international students should be confirmed in writing.
- Work permit: Bachelor of Midwifery is a degree at a public university, so it is exempt from the field of study test and supports a Post-Graduation Work Permit of up to three years. No spousal open work permit arises, because that needs a master programme of 16 months or longer. An Alberta attestation letter is required with the study permit application.
- Study permit: Apply Study Visa handles the Alberta attestation letter, the study permit application and the biometrics appointment with you.
