To confirm your acceptance of a McKenzie College offer of admission, you will be required to sign and date the form included on your Letter of Acceptance and return it to the Director of Recruiting within two (2) weeks of the date printed on the letter. Failure to do so will void your offer of admission.

Visit www.cic.gc.ca to look for branches in your country. Note: You can request a letter of acceptance with a deferred date of commencement if the visa processing is delayed. Speak to a member of our Admissions department for more information.

Upon being granted the study permit/visa, you must email a copy of your visa to McKenzie College at info@mckenzie.edu Note: McKenzie College is required to inform Immigration and Citizenship Canada of your change in status if you withdraw, cease to attend classes, defer your admission or become a part-time student.

Tuition Payment Policy

The policies and criteria of McKenzie College are the same for all international students. A Canada study permit is required in order for an international student to study here in Canada. Before the permit application can be processed, the student has to apply to McKenzie College, be accepted and receive an official McKenzie College Acceptance Letter. However, in order to receive the acceptance letter from Mckenzie College, 10% of tuition costs must be paid to McKenzie College. This helps indicate that the student has the funding to attend, that they are serious about attending McKenzie College as a full-time student.
