Wait for your preliminary letter of acceptance

Your preliminary letter of acceptance should arrive approximately two weeks after we receive your completed application and all required documents. Any missing information or documents will delay your letter. The letter will outline the steps you need to take to receive your official letter of acceptance.

Pay your fees

Pay your fees in full, as explained in your preliminary letter of acceptance to secure your seat at UFV and proceed with course registration. View more information about fees and tuition.

Apply for your study permit

When you receive your official letter of acceptance, take it with a valid passport and proof of sufficient funds for your stay in Canada to the nearest Canadian embassy or consulate in your country. Check the Citizenship and Immigration Canada website for locations. Be sure to review and fulfill the study permit requirements.

Allow at least 4 to 13 weeks for processing. Processing may be faster for Indian and Chinese students who apply and meet the requirements under the Student Partners Program.
