Canadian Tourism College welcomes international students. In addition to the dedication and assistance of our staff, students can benefit from enrolling in either CTC's online English courses where students can increase their English language level prior to commencing training at CTC or enroll in our 4 week English For Tourism Certificate program at the College prior to program commencement. For more details, please contact one of our Enrollment Coordinators.

International students will have the ability to read, write and converse in English. Students will be required to provide TOEFL scores of 490 written or 160 computer based. If the student does not have a TOEFL score, the student can complete the Canadian Tourism College's online English Assessment with a minimum score of 60%. If the student does not obtain 60% mark on the English Assessment, they may enrol in any of CTC's online English courses to improve English levels prior to course commencement or if they prefer, enrol in CTC's English for Tourism Certificate, students will meet CTC's minimum English requirements.

ESL classes are also available through partner schools. Please consult with an Enrollment Coordinator for more details.

Consistent attendance, classroom participation, completion of assignments and a positive attitude are expected from all students. Students will receive a copy of the CTC Student Handbook that outlines the policies and procedures that guide students through their educational process at CTC at the time of registration into a program.

If a student registers from overseas or from out of town, please print a copy of the CTC Student Handbook located on our Documentation page. All registration documents are located on the Documentation page.

Once a student has confirmed registration and submitted the International Student Application Fee of $350.00 plus a 25% tuition deposit, CTC will send the student a letter of acceptance that is required to include in the student study visa application. Please contact us so that we may assist students with this enrollment process. We are here to help.

If an International Student applies for a Study Visa and is denied, CTC will refund all tuition on deposit with exception of a $400.00 cancellation fee. CTC requires a copy of the notification of the denial and a letter from the student indicating their need to withdrawal. Should a student not notify the College, the follow policies apply:
