Anyone going to YORK university for 2019 fall? Questions!

[Joelle111]

I have a few questions...

1. I'm interested in their Social Work program (2 years). Would appreciate any insights on the university and if their acceptance rate is high...

2. English is not my first language but I have a good conduct of English. I live in an Arabic speaking country but my university teaches in English. In my transcript, it says my program was entirely taught in English, so do I still need to take the IELTS test? Even if I can get an official letter saying English is the main language of conduct.

3. Do I need to pay the full fees of the program upfront before applying for the student visa? Also about the money on account required for the student visa. I know its CAD 10,000 for every year of study. Do I need to have the amount (20k) for both years or can I start of with (10k) for the first year?

2 . If your letter of acceptance says no need for IELTS , then you won't need to do IELTS .
But since you studied in english , I don't think you will need IELTS , unless required by your university .

3. No you don't need to pay , unless the University asks you to .You need to show only 1 year course fees and 1 year expenses that's 10,000 CAD .
So that would be 10,000 CAD + 1 year course fees . The amount should be in your bank account for 4-6 months .

4. UOB ?
