Requirements
Admission Requirements: Domestic entry requires the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or equivalent, the Quebec DES, or the New Brunswick DES (or La Cité's mature-applicant test for candidates 19 or over without a diploma), plus a named mathematics course: Ontario asks for MBF3C, MAP4C, MCR3U or MCF3M; Quebec for CST 63404, TS 064406, SN 065406 or Mathématique 416; New Brunswick for 30321A. Candidates resident in Yukon or the Northwest Territories must instead have completed a Grade 11 foundational-mathematics or personal/general-finance course. A candidate who does not meet the mathematics requirement can still be admitted by passing the numeracy test on the Compétences pour réussir platform, or by passing La Cité's own preparatory mathematics course. The page sets no French or English test score; La Cité's institution-wide language-test page sets a minimum of 375 points (written comprehension) on the TCF or 352 points on the TEF for applicants who must demonstrate French competency by test.
Application Details
Start Date:Starts in autumn (September), winter (January) or spring/summer (May). La Cité's international application guide adds that a programme begun in winter carries a compulsory spring term.
Application Deadline:No fixed cut-off published for this programme. La Cité classes it as a regular (non-quota) programme, which means it keeps taking applications while places remain and makes an offer once the file is complete. Domestic applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca: for Fall 2027 entry the online application opened on 26 September 2026, colleges may start sending offers from 1 November 2026, and 1 February 2027 is the equal-consideration date. Many programmes carry on accepting applicants after that date on a first-come basis until they fill or open a waiting list, so check the college's programme-availability table before you apply. International applicants: this programme is not on La Cite's programme-availability table for international candidates, read 6 September 2026 - the college's complete list of the programmes international students may be admitted to - so it is not open to international applicants. Choose a programme that table lists before paying the non-refundable CAD 350 international application fee.
