The transition to campus life can be both exciting and overwhelming, especially when the university you’re attending is in a different country.

There’s a lot to remember, so to help you get off on the right foot, we’ve compiled a few checklists as you’re going through the enrollment process with us, and we’ve arranged it all by time frame, so you know when you need to accomplish each step!

To do 9-12 months out: Apply for admission

You can submit an application to Crandall University through a partner agent or independently.

A partner agent will walk you through the application process.

If you wish to submit an independent application, please complete the following steps:

1. Complete our International Student Application form
2. Submit required documents to international@crandallu.ca
   • Official transcripts from all educational institutions you have attended
   • Language test scores (IELTS or equivalent)
   • Copy of passport (Including photograph, name, country of origin, expiry date)
3. Pay the $100 CAD application fee
   • This may be completed through paymytuition.com

After you receive your Acceptance Package:

• Review the steps required to apply for your study permit from the Government of Canada.
• Get your finances in order & pay your tuition deposit. *This step is required to receive a Provincial Attestation letter*

Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL) Process:

• Once your tuition deposit (minimum of $2500 CAD to qualify for a PAL) has been received by Crandall University, you will be invited to complete and sign a PAL consent form.
  • Once the PAL consent form is signed, PAL processing typically takes 3-5 business days
• Please sign up with BorderPass. BorderPass is the lawyer-backed digital platform designed to make student immigration easier and more transparent. You will then have access to study permit application support and more through their platform.
• Once you receive your PAL, submit your Study Permit application as soon as possible and continue to make payments towards your full tuition. Full tuition payment is required prior to registering for courses.

Tuition Deposit/PAL deadlines for international students:

*Please note: not all programs/campuses have start dates every term and some Tution Deposit/PAL periods may differ from what is noted. Please contact our International Admissions team if you have questions about start dates for specific programs.

• Enroll in your program. Enrollment typically opens three months before your program begins. You will receive an email that includes a link to your student contract. Signing this contract is required to confirm your intent to enroll. Review our Sample Student Contract.
