Attention:

To the parents of the applicant:

You must inform international program staff if you are applying for a work/study permit.
If you have applied for a work/study permit, your application will not be processed. You must wait for your work/study permit results.
If you knowingly have applied for a work/study permit during your international student application process, you will not be eligible for a refund.
When a student is registered as an international student to begin school at the start of the school year, they remain international until the end of the same academic school year. For this reason, families are responsible to remit the full year of international tuition fees regardless of their Work/Study Permit validity. If families do not, their student will be withdrawn and they can commence studies at the beginning of the next academic year.
Changing status and school mid-year is not permitted.
