Academic Admissions - New Students 

We strongly encourage you to review and gather the required documents before starting the application process.

1. Legal Agreement (Terms & Conditions of Participation) - the Parent(s) must sign this document. It is the Parent(s)’ responsibility to make sure that they understand the requirements it contains.
2. Refund Policy - the Parent(s) must sign this document. Note that after admission, a refund is only granted if the Study Permit is refused by IRCC.  The Application Fee is non-refundable.
3. Photo page of the passport - the passport photo page of the Student Applicant’s passport, if they have a passport already, must be uploaded. This allows the YRDSB to confirm the Student Applicant’s information to ensure that all information is correct.
4. Authentic school transcripts or report cards for the last two academic years, from the school the Student Applicant attended, translated into English.
5. School Recommendation - a school official (Teacher, Principal) at the school the Student Applicant is currently attending must complete the form.
6. Consent for Information Sharing - this is required only if the student applicant is 18 years of age when submitting the Application.
7. Custodian Declaration Form - the form is available from the IRCC website. It has two parts: one is completed by the Parent(s) and notarized in the home country, the other is completed by the Custodian and notarized in Canada. This form is required at the time of application from all Student Applicants, even if a parent will accompany them.
   
   If applying to a YRDSB authorized homestay provider, the Custodian Declaration form is NOT required immediately; however, must be submitted to the Admissions Office within 10 days of submitting the online Application.
    
8. IELTS or TOFEL Official Test Results - only Student Applicants applying to grade 12 must submit this form and demonstrate a minimum score of 5.5 (IELTS) or 55 (TOEFL).

Other Documents - Collect the immunization record of the student (translated to English), and submitted to the York Region Public Health Department once the student has arrived in Canada.
