3. Once the letter of offer is received you will need to provide a tuition deposit to the College of New Caledonia of $10,000 representing one year of tuition based on 6 courses over two semesters. This money will be held in your name to cover your first year of tuition fees.

The official Letter of Acceptance is the document you take to the Canadian Consulate office in your country. Applying for your study permit must be completed outside of Canada.

5. Once you receive your visa confirmation it is important that you advise the Admissions Office of your status. Please note, there are a limited number of seats/courses available in each intake for each program. Seats/courses will be allocated based on seat availability and receipt of a scanned copy of your visa or letter of confirmation from CIC. Kindly advise the Admissions Office at intladmit@cnc.bc.ca immediately upon receipt of your visa so that we can confirm your seat and open online registration. If you do not inform us of your visa status prior to arrival, courses and programs may be at capacity and unavailable for registration. Failure to inform us of your visa prior to arrival, may result in a deferral to a future semester.
