For international students, it is essential to provide translated secondary education transcripts in English.

Additionally, depending on your country of origin, a Credential Assessment Report may be required. This report helps the admissions staff understand how your education compares to Canadian credentials. The two organizations that can assess your academic documents are:

• International Credential Assessment Service of Canada (ICAS) - Offers both general and comprehensive assessments for secondary and postsecondary studies.
• World Education Services (WES) - Provides general assessments for both secondary and postsecondary studies and comprehensive assessments for postsecondary studies only.

To apply, you will need to submit several documents along with a non-refundable application fee of $500. The required documents include:

• Application for International Student
• Copy of Valid Passport

It is important to ensure that your application is complete, as incomplete applications will not be processed. Once your application is submitted, you can expect a response from the international department within 24 to 48 hours.

Language Requirements

For international students whose first language is not English, proof of English language proficiency is a crucial part of the admission process at Canadian Business College. The college accepts several standardized tests to demonstrate English proficiency. The accepted tests and their minimum score requirements are as follows:

• Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) – Internet-based test (iBT): minimum score of 80
• International English Language Testing Services (IELTS) – minimum overall score of 6.0 with no band below 5.5
• Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC) – minimum score of 800

It is essential for applicants to ensure that they meet these English language requirements before applying. If you have taken any of these tests, make sure to include your scores in your application. This requirement is in place to ensure that all students can successfully engage with the curriculum and participate in classroom activities.

For transcript evaluations, the college recommends using World Education Services (WES) for assessing academic documents, as it is one of the recognized agencies for this purpose. Meeting these Language Requirements is vital for your application to be considered complete and for your successful admission into the college.
