I received a Letter of Acceptance to attend a public college in Ontario in September 2024 and I’m gathering all the necessary documents to apply. Now with this attestation letter requirement we would need to wait until March 31st as a maximum in order to apply?

Thanks!

It's a two year diploma
You need to wait until March 31. Provinces are being capped too so each province will be allowed so many study permits.

You need an attestation letter to apply for a study permit
As of January 22, 2024, most students must include an attestation letter from the province or territory where they plan to study with their study permit application.

If you apply without an attestation letter your application will be returned unless you’re either a

  • minor child in a primary or secondary school (kindergarten to grade 12)
  • student in a masters, PhD or other post-graduate program
  • student applying to extend your study permit

Thanks! Are any additional details on how to request this letter on March 31st?
No other than on March 31, there will be a process. Given caps, not all potential students will get a letter. Provinces may develop criteria for accepting students based on program (diploma, degree) and may even focus on specific in demand skills (nursing, trades). Again will not know until provinces announce their criteria.

Will post graduate diploma or post graduate certificate applications need attestation letter?

Hello, everyone. I'm having a struggle with this new update; I got an admission for the May intake at Conestoga College in Ontario for a two-year diploma program, school resumes on May 6th, and I am not sure if I can wait until March 31st before applying for a visa because I need to be in the country by April for the two-week orientation; waiting until March to apply for provisional attestation will jeopardize everything, particularly since I have already paid 9,300 cad in fees.

Please, I need some advice.

What is your issue? What is your program? Are you single?
Hi I have a question as to what is considered a post graduate program, will a post grad diploma offered at a major university like university of british columbia be considered a post graduate program?? It leads to a cpa and a 4 year bachelor is required to enroll..
