Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma or equivalent, or admission as a mature applicant; applicants without a diploma may pursue the Academic and Career Entrance (ACE) Grade 12 equivalency certificate. International applicants must present one of: TOEFL iBT overall 4.5 with no band below 4 (79 under the pre-2026 scale); IELTS Academic overall 6.0 with no band below 5.5; CAEL overall 60 with no band below 50; PTE Academic 53 with no band below 45; Cambridge English 169 overall with no skill below 162; Duolingo overall 105 with no component below 95; or LanguageCert Academic overall 65 with no skill below 60.

Application Details

Start Date: September and May

Application Deadline: Domestic applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca: for Fall 2027 entry, applications open in early October 2026 and the equal-consideration date is 1 February 2027, after which later applications are assessed on a first-come basis until seats fill; non-competitive programs begin receiving offers from 1 November 2026, competitive-program offers go out by 30 March 2027, and 1 May 2027 is the usual deadline to accept an offer. International applicants apply directly to Fanshawe (CAD 100 fee) and face fixed document deadlines rather than a single closing date: for the current intakes, study-permit and conditions-met documents are due 10/15 August 2026 (Fall), 9/15 December 2026 (Winter) and 5/15 April 2027 (Summer); missing a deadline can mean deferral to the next intake. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
