INTERNATIONAL STUDENT PROGRAM VOCATIONAL TRAINING FEES – 2024-2025
Welcome to the Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board’s International Student Program.
To facilitate your application process, please take note of the following:
- If a complete application is submitted through My True North and the initial payment of $1,200 done through
Flywire is received, we will begin to ealuate the application and will share an update through My True North within 5-7
business days. In order to make the initial payment through Flywire, please use the gateway provided by My True North
and the Client # also provided while submitting the application, you may leave the invoice # field blank. Incomplete
applications may cause delays in processing. - Upon confirmation of eligibility, we will send a detailed Invoice and an official Letter of Acceptance. With this letter,
the student can apply for a CAQ, Study Permit, and COOP Work Permit. - Start/end dates for vocational programs are tentative and could vary. The school board reserves the right to cancel or
delay the start date of a program if there is a lack of space or insufficient registrations to start a cohort. - When applying for a CAQ, make sure to select SWLSB “Vocational training Program / Diplôme d’études professionnelles”
under the Program or level of studies / Programme ou niveau d’études field.
Note: If you already have a CAQ with a different level of studies, you will need to apply for a new CAQ for the
correct level of education. - When applying for a Study Permit, make sure to indicate, “Designated learning institution in the province of
Quebec” under the Institution Name / Nom de l’institution field. Please be sure to also apply for a CO-OP Work Permit
at the same time. You may use the sale Letter of Acceptance as proof for the CO-OP hours within your program. - It is strongly recommended to submit applications at least 4-6 months prior to the start date of the program and to
arrive in Canada at least 2-3 weeks prior to the beginning of the program in order to finalize the registration process
in a timely manner. Students must share a copy of their immigration permits with our office as soon as these are
approved so we can update their files accordingly. Students must not purchase flights until they receive our
final confirmation email. Students must attend their final registration appointment in person with all their original
documents and have already paid for their first installment in full in order to finalize registration. Students will not be able
to start without their original documents and permits. - Students are strongly encouraged to take a French as a Second Language course outside of their classes. For more
details on FREE French courses click here. These classes will help students learn and improve their French skills when
they start their internships as well as during/after their studies in Quebec. - Health insurance is a legal requirement for any international student studying in the province of Quebec. We can provide
this service to students through our designated insurance provider (INGLE international). Health insurance is mandatory
for all students and the cost of the insurance will be added to the student’s invoice if purchased through our insurance
provider.
