International Applicants
International applicants may be admitted from secondary school, from a college, from a university, or applicants may already hold a university degree. Refer to those sections that follow.
Some schools offer programs that comply with international rather than national rules (i.e. International Baccalaureate). Students from these schools will be evaluated by international standards.
Some schools offer an educational program that is different from the traditional program in that country – for example, a US 12 program in Saudi Arabia. In this case, please refer to the United States admission requirements.
International applicants must meet the English Language and Literacy, and Quantitative and Analytical Skills requirements .
Other Requirements
Academic Documents
Students must arrange to send official transcripts of academic records from all schools and colleges attended to 91ÅÝܽ. Replaceable documents will not be returned. Irreplaceable documents will be returned to the student personally, on request. If the student’s documents are not in either English or French, 91ÅÝܽ requires an official translation, certified by an educational official of the student’s country, an official of a Canadian Education Centre, or a Canadian consular or embassy official. Translations made by the student, relatives or friends will not be accepted. For international applicants residing in BC, translations should be completed by a member of the Society of Translators and Interpreters of British Columbia (please view their website at ), or through MOSAIC Translation Services at
Secondary School Applicants
Completion of minimum requirements does not guarantee admission to any course, program, department or faculty when the number of qualified applicants exceeds the number that, in the opinion of the University, can be accommodated. The University reserves the right to select from among qualified applicants. Visit for a current list of admission requirements by country/region.
International University or College Transfer
The studies presented for transfer credit must be acceptable to a leading university in the home country toward a program similar to the one to which admission is sought. For further requirements, see “Canadian University Transfer”.
International Institutes of Technology
Students with completed two or three year diplomas from academic programs at recognized international institutes of technology may be considered for admission. A competitive admission average is required for most programs. Transfer credit may be granted based on overall academic background and on the recommendations of the appropriate departments at 91ÅÝܽ. Transfer credit is generally granted only for completed technical programs as a block and is not evaluated on a course-by-course basis. International applicants must meet the English Language and Literacy, and Quantitative and Analytical Skills requirements (see “English Language and Literacy” and “Quantitative and Analytical Skills Requirements”).
