Program overview
A two year pathway covering the science foundations required for entry into a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition, with transfer to the partner institution for the remaining years of the degree.
Two things must be understood before applying. Progression depends on meeting the receiving institution’s requirements, and because the credential is completed elsewhere, this pathway on its own does not lead to a Canadian work permit. Apply Study Visa counsellors will map the full multi institution plan and its immigration consequences before you commit any money.
Because Undergraduate Pathway to Bachelor of Science in Nutrition is not a degree, post study work standing is not automatic and is governed by the field of study rules that apply to non degree credentials. Undergraduate study such as Undergraduate Pathway to Bachelor of Science in Nutrition does not carry spousal open work permit eligibility under the rules now in force, which married applicants should factor in from the start. Every work permit decision rests with Canadian immigration authorities, and Apply Study Visa confirms the position for Undergraduate Pathway to Bachelor of Science in Nutrition in writing before you pay any deposit.
Applicants need Grade 12 / High School with at least 65 percent, together with IELTS 6.5 overall with no band below 6 for Undergraduate Pathway to Bachelor of Science in Nutrition. Tuition for Undergraduate Pathway to Bachelor of Science in Nutrition is recorded at CAD 18,090 for the year, with a CAD 80 application fee, and the programme runs 7 intake windows across the cycles listed here. Apply Study Visa handles the Undergraduate Pathway to Bachelor of Science in Nutrition application, the attestation letter, the deposit and the study permit as one process.
