Hi, I’m a protected person who’s trying to apply for a study permit. I’ve already been accepted to Seneca and now I need the permit. I’ve started the application but I’m having some issues. For the LOA from Seneca does it need to show domestic fees or are international fees okay? Also for the application where it askes for tuition should I put the domestic fees for two semesters? Any help is appreciated.

Typically protected people qualify for domestic tuition rates. The LOA should indicate what you will actually be paying. Not sure why only 2 semesters would be domestic fees unless the program is only 2 semesters.
Typically tution is either listed by year or per semester. I would also specify the length of the program in the LOA.
Yes but you should apply to know if you will have the funds to afford to attend school.
1. You can still use the LOA even if it shows international fees, BUT it’s better if it shows the domestic tuition rate, since that reflects your actual status and what you'll be paying.
- IRCC might assume you're applying as an international student if the LOA shows international tuition.
- Including the correct tuition makes your financial info more consistent and avoids confusion.
- If your LOA shows international fees but Seneca confirmed you qualify for domestic tuition, you can:
- Ask Seneca for a revised LOA showing domestic tuition (they're usually familiar with this request for protected persons).
- Or, upload an additional letter from the college confirming you will be charged domestic tuition as a protected person.
Example:
- If domestic tuition is $3,500 per semester, and you’ll study for two semesters, you would enter:
Tuition: $7,000 CAD
