This enrolment page is for international students meeting the following criteria:

• You are not a Canadian citizen, a Canadian permanent resident, a protected person or a refugee claimant.
• Your status is one of these two: a temporary resident in Canada, for example on a study permit or a visitor record, or a foreign national outside Canada. The form asks you to confirm which one.
• You are applying for a Grade 9, 10, 11 or 12 credit course in the 2026 to 2027 school year.

If you are a Canadian citizen, a permanent resident, a protected person or a refugee claimant, use the domestic registration page instead.

New to the school? Read How to enrol first. It covers the documents you need, the fees, the cooling off period and every stage of the process. This page explains only how to fill in the registration form.

Everything below explains the form, one step at a time. The four grade links are at the foot of this page.

Online or in person: understand the difference before you choose

This is the most important choice on the form, and it is the one international students most often get wrong.

	Online	In person, at the Vaughan campus
Where you study	Anywhere in the world, including your home country	At our campus in Vaughan, Ontario
Do you have to be in Canada	No	Yes, and for the whole session
Immigration status	Nothing Canadian is needed while you are outside Canada	You must already hold a valid Canadian status that permits you to study here, and it is your responsibility to keep it valid for the whole session
Courses available	All 26 courses, in every session	A selected list each session, currently all English, Mathematics and Computer Studies courses
The course itself	Identical in both formats. Same course, same teacher, same 110 scheduled hours, same assessments and the same credit.

Campus attendance is a facility the school provides, not a requirement of any course. Every course is delivered online and asynchronously in both formats, with no set class times.

Step by step

The sessions are clearly marked with course dates on the links and those are your course dates

Choose your course, session and format carefully

Near the end of the form you are asked two questions. Take your time over them, because seat availability and course choice both depend on your answers.

1. Your course

You give your current grade level, your main subject area, and the course code, course name and grade level you want. Check the course code on the course page before you type it in.

2. Your format

• Every course runs online in every session.
• In person, a selection of courses runs each session. You are shown which courses those are, and the seats remaining, while you fill in the form.

What happens after you pay

• A confirmation email reaches you straight away with a copy of what you sent.
• The admission assessment team reviews your application and your documents.
• You then hear one of three things: an offer together with your final invoice, a request for a missing document or a condition to clear first, or a letter telling you the application was not accepted.
• Once your file is complete you move to the pre-enrolment stage, and after that your learning portal access is switched on.

Every stage is set out in full on the How to enrol page. If you are unsure which link, fee option, session or format to choose, contact the school before you pay. The telephone number and answering hours are on that page.
