If you are successfully accepted into a program, you will receive a Letter of Offer (LOF) in your myCapU email inbox

• To confirm your acceptance, you must pay a tuition deposit as outlined in your letter of offer.
• This deposit will go towards your first-semester tuition once you are registered for courses at CapU.

After paying your tuition deposit, you will receive a Letter of Acceptance (LOA) and a Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL), if applicable, in your myCapU email inbox. 

These documents may be used to apply for, or renew, a study permit in Canada.

• If your program is less than 6 months long and does not require a study permit, you will receive detailed information about your acceptance in your myCapU email inbox.

All international students are responsible for complying with the conditions and regulations from Immigration, Refugees, Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

• If your program is longer than 6 months, you must have a valid study permit for the duration of your studies. 
• Depending on your citizenship, you may also need a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) or Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA).
• If your program includes a co-op, practicum, or internship component, you will need a co-op work permit.
• Processing times vary, so it’s important to apply for your permit as early as possible.

To attend classes in your program, you must register for courses. You can refer to your acceptance email in your myCapU email inbox for details.
