Applications open 11 months in advance, and we encourage students to apply as early as possible. The application deadlines are currently set as following:

January (Spring) Semester: September 30

May (Summer) Semester: January 31

September (Fall) Semester: May 31

Students must apply online to Langara and meet the admission requirements for their chosen program. The application requires:

• Completing a student profile

• Uploading required documents

• Paying a CAD 155 application fee

The formal application process will follow the steps described below.

Step 1: Connect with Langara’s Representative

Students should contact a representative and provide their intended program, start term, and an electronic copy of their academic documents. These may include high school or university transcripts, diplomas, English proficiency test results, a copy of the passport ID page, and any additional documents required to meet the admission requirements for their chosen program.

Step 2: Apply to Langara

After receiving a response from the representative regarding their document assessment, students must apply online to Langara and ensure they meet the admission requirements for their chosen program. The online application includes completing a student profile and uploading the required documents. An application fee waiver code will be provided and should be used during the submission process.

Step 3: Receive an Offer of Admission

Students who meet the requirements will receive an offer of admission. If they apply for September and have not yet graduated, the offer will be conditional upon completing high school by July 31st.

Step 4: Apply for the International Regional Entrance Award

Once students receive an offer of admission from Langara, they may submit an application for the International Regional Entrance Award. Please note that the scholarship application deadlines may differ from the program application deadlines. For this reason, early application is strongly encouraged to ensure eligibility and timely consideration.

Step 5: Pay the Tuition Deposit

To confirm their spot and receive documentation needed for their student visa, students must pay a tuition deposit (normally CAD 6,000). Even if they are selected for the award, this deposit must be paid in full to access immigration documents.

Step 6: Receive Visa Support Documents

Once the deposit is received, students will be issued:

• Receipt of Payment

• Letter of Acceptance

• Provincial Attestation Letter

They can then begin the student visa application process through the appropriate Canadian consulate.

Step 7: Receive Award Confirmation

Award recipients will receive an official award letter. While not required for the visa process, this letter can be included as supporting documentation if the student chooses.

Step 8: Course Registration

About 2–3 months before classes begin, students can register for courses. They must enrol in a minimum of 9 credits to maintain full-time status. Registration support is available for international students.

Step 9: Visa Approval Confirmation

Students must confirm the outcome of their visa application by the deferral deadline (usually about one month before classes start). Students are expected to attend from the first day of class. In extenuating circumstances, late arrival may be approved but must be pre-approved by each of their instructors.

Step 10: Fee Payment Deadline – First Term

The CAD 6,000 deposit may not cover the full tuition and fees for the first term. If a balance remains, students must pay the outstanding amount before the fee payment deadline to avoid course deregistration. For entrance award recipients, a temporary hold will be placed on their account to prevent deregistration while the award is being applied.
