Our graduates have been admitted to University of Toronto,  University of Alberta, McMaster University, Ryerson University, Waterloo University, University of Sydney, and many other prestigious universities worldwide.

Overview of the Application Process

Students often decide to apply to universities not only within Ontario, but in other Canadian provinces, as well as in the U.S. and globally. Each of these has distinctly different application processes and admission requirements that necessitate careful planning and preparation. While all applications are offered admissions during their final year of secondary education, students must pay close attention to the specific application requirements and deadlines of each university of interest.

During the fall term, thePost Secondary Counselling Office hosts information sessions with admission representatives from numerous universities. University Counselling prepares calendars and weekly reminders throughout the year to remind students of upcoming important dates and deadlines.
