Requirements
Admission Requirements: Entry requires an OSSD with the majority of credits at College (C), University (U), University/College (M) or Open (O) level; mature applicants without an OSSD may write the College's admission tests. The programme page sets no language score of its own, so the institution-wide certificate-level English requirement applies: IELTS Academic 6.0 overall, TOEFL iBT 60, PTE Academic 52, CAEL 60, CELPIP General 7.0 in each module, or Duolingo 110, within the last two years. Before clinical placement, students must hold current CPR Level C, Standard First Aid, a mask-fit test, and a Vulnerable Sector Police Clearance (valid six months), plus health-assessment documentation; most placement sites also require COVID-19 vaccination, though this is not a college-set condition. Domestic applicants apply through Ontario Colleges; international applicants through International OCAS.
