International Student Application
Students should submit applications as early as possible. International students may apply directly to Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board International Student Program.
Submit your completed application form and documentation to: Michelle White, Program Coordinator
Email: international_students@kprdsb.ca
As a guideline, it is recommended that the application process begins five to seven months before the start date of school because the length of time required to process students visa application varies from country to country.
Application Submission Dates
Applications for 1st Semester will be accepted until April 1st of the previous school year. Applications for 2nd Semester will be accepted until November 1st of the current school year.
Application Process
STEP 1: Complete and submit all required documents in the Application Checklist and Application Form. Submit your payment for the appropriate school year, as outlined in either the 2023-24 Fee Schedule or 2024-25 Fee Schedule (we accept wire transfer in Canadian funds).
STEP 2: Upon receipt of the completed application package, all documentation and the required fees, the Program Coordinator will review the application. Once accepted, the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board will email an official Letter of Acceptance.
STEP 3: Apply to the nearest Canadian Embassy, Consulate or High Commission for a Study Permit. Present the Letter of Acceptance, the receipt for fees paid and any other documents requested by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
STEP 4: Upon approval of the study permit, make travel arrangements to arrive in Canada prior to the start of the program. Students should plan to be in Canada the week before school start for orientation or as required for any isolation period required by the Government of Canada.
