Admission requirements
Who can apply (guide for international students):
- Education: A completed three year bachelor degree from a recognised university, at the percentage stated.
- English (meet any one): IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0; TOEFL iBT 86 overall with at least 20 in EVERY section, which is stricter than the undergraduate requirement; PTE Academic 59; or the Duolingo English Test at 115.
- Application and deposit: An application fee of CAD 92.25 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.
- Work permit: Dual Postgraduate Certificate in Accounting with Computer Science is a sixteen month dual graduate certificate rather than a degree, so the Canadian field of study test applies and Post-Graduation Work Permit eligibility must be confirmed in writing for your intake before you commit. No spousal open work permit arises, because that needs a master programme of 16 months or longer. An Ontario attestation letter is required with the study permit application.
- Study permit: Apply Study Visa handles the Ontario attestation letter, the study permit application and the biometrics appointment with you.
