Applying to Humber College as an international student?

I'm an American student curious about applying to Humber College in Canada. Does anyone know what the application process is like for international students and any specific things I should prepare?

Sure thing, I can guide you through the application process for international students at Humber College. Firstly, you'll need to identify a course or program you're interested in. Humber offers a wide variety of programs across various fields of study.

Once you have a course selected, you'll need to check the course-specific admission requirements, which can be found on the course's webpage. These requirements can include mandatory prerequisite courses, minimum grades, and English language proficiency. Humber requires a demonstrated proficiency in English since it is the primary language of instruction. This typically includes an IELTS Academic or TOEFL score.

Next, you'll make your application via the International Student Application Form available on Humber's website. Submission of your application would then require a non-refundable application fee. You'll also need to provide the necessary supporting documents such as academic transcripts and proof of English language proficiency.

If you've applied for a degree program, and you pass the initial assessment, you may be invited for an interview or asked to submit a portfolio, depending upon the program requirements. However, this isn't a guarantee for all programs.

After you've submitted all the necessary documents, Humber will assess your application and, if successful, send you an offer of admission. If you decide to accept this offer, you'll need to pay a deposit to secure your spot.

Remember to apply for a study permit as well once you've been admitted. As an American student, you can apply for this at the Port of Entry when you arrive in Canada, but it might be easier to apply beforehand to prevent any potential issues.

Getting your study permit can take some time, so factor this into your timeline when applying. The Wait Times tool on the Government of Canada's Website is a useful resource to check processing times.

Overall, just make sure to start the process early to give yourself the best chance possible and reduce any anxiety in the lead-up to the big move. Good luck with your application!
