Accommodation

  • We can provide a letter verifying registration in our program for those students who have registered with us; however, because we are not a certificate program, we cannot do anything further to sponsor student visas. If you need additional information about student visas in Canada, you can get it from the following website. www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/index.html
