NorQuest College
2. What happens after I submit my application form and fees? Before your official Letter of Admission can be issued, you must complete the program application form, pay the non-refundable $100 CDN application fee, and meet all program requirements (academic and non-academic). We advise applicants by mail of their acceptance. To accept NorQuest College’s official Letter of Admission and reserve your seat in a program, send a $500 CDN non-refundable, non-transferable tuition deposit (applied to your first term’s tuition) to NorQuest College. Methods of payment include: credit card (Visa or MasterCard), certified cheque, bank draft, money order, or wire transfer (for details regarding this option, please email international@norquest.ca).
3. Do I have to apply for an international student visa or study permit? If the length of your program is less than six months, you do not have to apply for an international Student Visa or Study Permit. If the program you choose is longer than six months, you will be required to apply. To learn more, contact the Canadian Embassy or Consulate in your home country or visit the Citizenship and Immigration Canada website. If you intend to study in consecutive programs, it is strongly recommended that you apply for a Student Visa or Study Permit before entering Canada.
4. Can I apply for my relative who is out of the country, and will I get a letter for immigration? Yes, you can apply for a relative and get an Official Letter for Immigration as long as your relative has met the program requirements and you have completed the International Applicant Authorization for Release of Information.
5. What if I (or my relative, if they apply for me) cannot get a Visa, do I get my money back? Please note that once you have paid the deposit of $500 CDN it is not refunded or transferred even if your visa is denied or delayed, or if you decide not to attend NorQuest. You should pay this deposit ONLY when you know that you have your study visa secured.
6. Will I need a visa for my family members? You should contact the Canadian Embassy or Consulate in your own country to find out the details. Visit www.cic.gc.ca to learn more.
