• Different universities have different admissions requirements. General admissions requirements include:

• High school graduation
• Sufficient entrance grade (marks) – varies depending on universities
• Completion of specific courses in your secondary school studies – these are usually outlined in the brochure of each university.
• English language proficiency (if applicable)
• To apply for any university, you need to fill out an application form. For students attending secondary schools in Canada, application forms for local universities can easily be obtained from your secondary schools (from the school advisors particularly). For all other universities within Canada, application forms are usually available in:

• Conselling offices in your secondary school upon request
• Undergraduate admission office in each post-secondary institutions.
• Internet (if applicable)

• Some universities allow applications through the World Wide Web. Procedures are simply and easy: go to the homepage of the institution(s) you are interested in, find the link where it will lead you to the application page, follow the instructions and fill in all the information as required.

• Application fees are applicable. They vary among institutions and range from $20 to $200 and up. Normally if you are applying for an institution outside Canada, the application fee will expect to be more expensive. Your application will not be processed until the institutions receive your application fee.

• There is no limitation on the number of universities you apply for. However, once you are admitted to an institution, you’ll have to pay a certain amount of money, usually called "deposit" or "confirmation fee", which indicate that you’ll be attending that institutions. If the fee is not paid after the due date, your seat will then be taken from you!

• Deadline for application varies depending on the institutions. Generally, application forms and application fees are due at the end of February for early admission*, or the end of April for an entrance to the institutions.

* early admission is a special admission status in which the institutions will process your application ahead of time (mainly based on your grade 11 and the 1^st and/or 2^nd term of grade 12 marks)

• Each institution will notify you whether or not you have been accepted to the institutions by mail. In some institutions, there is an enquiry line where you can call and ask for the application status.

• Your application will be evaluated once the following documentation has been received:

• application form
• official transcripts from all secondary or post secondary institutions attended (and translations if required)
• application fee
• document evaluation fee (if applicable)
• TOEFL (if required) etc.

Various "proofs" will be required and some of them include:
