Requirements

Admission Requirements: Domestic applicants must be 19 years of age or older, or hold an Ontario Secondary School Diploma or equivalent, or a General Educational Development (GED) certificate. International applicants need a senior-level education equivalent to the Ontario standard plus proof of English proficiency; the programme page defers to Canadore's institution-wide scale for Certificate/Diploma/Advanced Diploma programs: Canadore's English proficiency requirement for Certificate/Diploma/Advanced Diploma programs (test taken within two years of application): IELTS Academic 6.0 overall, no band below 5.5; TOEFL iBT 4.0 overall, no section below 4 (tests from 21 Jan 2026 onward); PTE Academic 53, no section below 47; Duolingo English Test 110, no band below 95; CELPIP 7; Cambridge English 169+; Oxford ELLT 6.0; or CEFR B2. No portfolio, interview or work-experience condition is stated for this program.

Application Details

Start Date: Monthly

Application Deadline: Domestic applicants apply through OntarioColleges.ca: for programs starting in Fall 2027 the equal consideration date is 1 February 2027; Canadore states applicants may apply at any time, with the deposit for accepted Winter 2027 offers due 16 November 2026 and term tuition due 30 November 2026. Canadore's own how-to-apply page separately cites a generic, undated "applications open November 1 / competitive consideration date February 1 for Fall term, October 1 for Winter term" notice that names no specific cycle year, so its October 1 figure is not confirmed as the Winter 2027 deadline. International applicants apply through Canadore's international portal and are assessed on a rolling basis, with programs closing early once capacity is reached; no fixed international opening or closing date is published, and payment deadlines appear only on the individual letter of admission. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
