How to Apply

Check the Academic Requirements

Mandatory requirements vary from program to program, but there is one mandatory requirement for all of our academic programs:

• Bachillerato

This is what we consider to be the equivalent of a Canadian Grade 12 for Latin American students with a study visa. Other educational documents might be necessary (see step 3, Documents).

• Additional requirements – some programs may have other mandatory requirements, such as portfolios for Graphic Design

Check the requirements of your program using our catalogue by selecting your program of interest and clicking in the Admission Requirements section, or let us help you through the process: intled@rrc.ca

Check the Language Requirements

There are two ways to fulfill the English requirements for the academic program of your choice:

• If you achieve the minimum scores in all categories (listening, speaking, writing and reading) in IELTS Academic or CanTest, as requested by your program:
  • Apply to the Academic Program
• If you haven’t achieved the minimum scores in IELTS Academic or CanTest as requested by your academic program:
  • Apply to the Intensive English for International Students program + Apply to the Academic Program
  • We encourage you to submit your English proficiency test scores with your application. That will help you to get an estimate of your IEIS program length.

Plan for your Application

Ensure you have enough time to prepare all the necessary documentation before applying. Applications are accepted all year long and are processed on a first-come, first-served basis. We strongly recommend that you apply at least six months prior to the start date of your chosen program.

Another consideration is the time your study visa will take to be processed after you are accepted at RRC Polytech. Check out the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada’s website for visa processing times.

Get an Offer of the Study Plan

If your profile meets the requirements of the program, and if the program of choice is available at the date of application, we will issue you an Offer of the Study Plan. That Offer will provide you with all information regarding the program you’ve been selected to, including the Intensive English for International Students program, if applicable.

In case you accept this Offer, the next step is to pay the tuition deposit, which can be found here.

Receive an Acceptance Letter

After you pay your tuition deposit, you will receive a Letter of Acceptance. This Letter can be used to apply for your Study Permit.

For visa application procedures, go to the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada’s website.

Be aware that the tuition for the first term of your program is due several days before your program starts.
