Admission Requirements: Entry follows La Cité's general secondary-diploma routes: the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or equivalent, the Quebec DES, or the New Brunswick DES, or, for applicants 19 or older, a pass on La Cité's mature-applicant test. Each province sets its own mathematics prerequisite: MCR3U, MCF3M or MAP4C for Ontario (MCT4C recommended); TS 064406, SN 065406 or Mathématique 436 for Quebec (Secondary 5 math recommended); 30321B for New Brunswick (30411B recommended).

An up-to-date tetanus immunisation record is required before the start of classes. For international applicants the programme's own page states admission is competitive because of limited capacity and is never guaranteed even when every requirement is met; eligibility requires a secondary-school diploma/baccalaureate or proof of enrolment in the final year of secondary school.
