Step One
Take a look at our programs on the website or download a copy of our program guide to determine what program(s) are of interest to you. In general, Canadore requires a senior level of education from your country. View our Full Time program listing
Step Two
Many programs have specific admission requirements, such as math or physics. These requirements are found under admission requirements in the program descriptions. To be considered for acceptance by the college, you must send a translated copy of your transcript with your application, demonstrating that you meet the program specific admission requirements.
Step Three
If English is not your first language you must provide proof of English competency that meet the language competency level for your desired program of study. View current English Language Proficiency Requirements. Notwithstanding the above, the English proficiency standards required to obtain Study Permits and Temporary Resident Visas from Canadian Embassies vary around the world. The higher English language proficiency standard will apply.
The Student Direct Stream (SDS) is an expedited study permit processing program for those who are applying to study in Canada at a post-secondary designated learning institution (DLI). The language requirement is more stringent than listed above, as such an International English Language Testing System (IELTS) score of 6.0 or higher in each language skill: listening, reading, writing and speaking is required.
For more information on the Student Direct Stream (SDS) program please see:

Please note that there is an application fee to submit your application for review by the College. More information on the application fee can be found at https://www.ontariocolleges.ca/en/apply/application-fees.
Step Five
If you meet the admission requirements and are offered admission into the program you have chosen, Canadore College will send you a letter of acceptance and an International Student Acceptance Information form in the format recognized by Canadian Immigration. This letter is required by the Canadian Embassy, High Commission or Consulate in your country when you apply for a study permit to study in Canada. If there is a work, field or clinical requirement for your program we will issue an additional letter, which must be submitted to obtain the associate work permit.
Step Six
Upon receipt of your payment, the College will reserve a seat in your chosen program. This payment is part of the total tuition cost and includes a non-refundable deposit. The receipt for this payment will be required by the Citizenship and Immigration Canada.
- If you do not comply with the terms of your payment schedule, your offer will be considered inactive and your seat will be offered to the next individual on the waitlist.

Black History Recognition at Canadore
(NORTH BAY, ONT.) — Today Canadore, as part of Black History Month, recognized Saint-Firmin Monestime, Canada’s first Black mayor, and father of Yura Monestime, Canadore’s associate dean of media, computing and culinary arts.
Monestime, originated from Haiti before becoming Canada’ first Black mayor, in the town of Mattawa.
Monestime was a medical doctor and established and opened a 60-bed long term care facility, the Algonquin Nursing Home, in 1976.
Saint-Firmin was honoured today in front of Canadore employees and students.
Claude Sharma of TVO, wrote an article detailing his journey to taking his historic mayoral role.
“He was a political trailblazer with a storied and eventful life,” Sharma wrote in his article. “…the people of Mattawa welcomed the doctor and his family, then the only Black residents in the town of roughly 3,000 people…he was known to make house calls at all hours of the day and night.”
Monestime’s son, Yura, associate dean at the College. Recalled stories of his Dad’s kind nature and dedication to his patients. He noted the importance of celebrating Black History and all cultures.
“It is an honour to have my Dad celebrated today. It’s important to celebrate Black History month in order to recognise individuals who have made a contribution to society. Honouring the past helps us move forward,” he said.
The event took place at 11am today in Canadore’s Light Therapy Lounge, D230 at the College Drive Campus.

Fees and Expenses
What am I paying for?
Costs will vary depending on the program.
Your fees include ancillary fees, tuition and any incidental fees associated with your program.
Tuition fee policies are established by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities (MTCU), as are policies for refund and College-levied incidental fees. All Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology in Ontario must adhere to these policies.
Fee payment changes for students
Effective for the 2016-2017 academic year, there is a new fee policy in effect in the province of Ontario. All Ontario Colleges must adhere to the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities policies on tuition and ancillary fee billing. The most significant change resulting from the policy is the implementation of a one-time non-refundable deposit fee, required to confirm your application at the beginning of each academic year. The deposit is applied to the students account reducing the balance of tuition fees. Balance of fee payment deadlines have been shifted closer to the beginning of the term of study, which is a benefit to you the student.
