The programme page defers English-proficiency detail to that same page: for this Diploma, IELTS Academic 6.0 overall with no band below 5.5, TOEFL iBT 72+ with no section below 18, PTE Academic 53 with no section below 47, Duolingo English Test 110 with no band below 95, or equivalent (Cambridge English 169+, CELPIP 7, Oxford ELLT 6.0, CEFR B2), tested within two years of application.

Application Details
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.
