Overview
International students applying for a PGWP: If you are in a flexible delivery course, you must attend in person as the option to attend online does not apply to you based on IRCC policy. Studying online will impact your PGWP eligibility. Please review the in-person requirements related to PGWP eligibility before choosing your program and course delivery.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Domestic admission requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or equivalent, or acceptance as a mature applicant, with a minimum of 70% in each of English (Grade 12 C or U), Mathematics (Grade 12 C or U or Grade 11 U/M), Biology (Grade 11 C or U), and Physics or Chemistry (Grade 11 U or Grade 12 C or U), or equivalent courses; admission is highly competitive and applicants are ranked on academic strength. Clinical placement requires current immunisation records per the Canadian Immunization Guide for health-care workers, bloodwork confirming immune status for hepatitis B, varicella, measles, mumps and rubella, TB testing as required, an annually renewed Basic Life Support certificate, a four-year Standard First Aid certificate (online courses not accepted), a mask-fit-test record renewed every two years, and an annual criminal record and vulnerable-sector check; students provide their own transportation to clinical placements across the Greater Toronto Area. Neither page states an IELTS, TOEFL or other language-test score.
