Ontario additionally requires a provincial attestation letter before any study permit application for the esthetician diploma.

Admission requirements

Who can apply (guide for international students):

  • Education: Grade 12 or equivalent at the percentage stated for this programme.
  • English (meet any one): IELTS Academic 6.0 overall with no band below 5.5; TOEFL iBT 80 with 20 in every section; PTE Academic 53 with no component below 10; or the Duolingo English Test at 110.
  • Application and deposit: Conestoga charges a CAD 100 application fee. 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.
  • Work rights: The esthetician diploma does NOT appear on Conestoga’s PGWP-aligned list. Assume no work permit unless the college confirms an eligible CIP code in writing.

No dependant work permit.
  • Study permit: Apply Study Visa prepares the attestation letter request, the financial evidence and the Canadian study permit submission with you.
