International Student Admission Procedure

Effective June 1, 2014 all study permit applications must include Designated Learning Institution (DLI) number.

New rules aim to protect Canada’s international reputation for high-quality education and improving services to genuine students. The new rules will:

limit the issuance of study permits to applicants who will be studying at a designated learning institution (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/glossary.asp#designated_learning_institution), including institutions that are designated by provinces and territories on the basis of meeting minimum standards;
require students to actively pursue their studies while in Canada; and
Allow full-time international students enrolled at designated institutions in certain programs to work part time off campus and full time during scheduled school breaks without a work

The Citizenship and Immigration Call Centre can answer questions, in English and French, about the new rules.

Welcome to MLC College!

MLC College welcomes students from around the world, and appreciates the opportunity for cultural enrichment in the educational arena. However, important immigration requirements must be met and a visa may be required if you’re an International Student wanting to attend MLC College.

You must demonstrate English Proficiency with IELTS overall band 6.5 ( with each subject being 5.5) or complete the ESL program to fill any deficiency. The ESL program will be of 4 weeks or 8 weeks . If you require a visa, the visa officer will issue it at the same time as the documentation necessary for your entry to Canada as a student. Before you apply for a student authorization, you must be accepted as a student by a Designated Learning institution, and that institution must decide if you meet its academic and language requirements.

You must meet certain immigration requirements to obtain a student authorization to study in Canada. These include:

Presentation of an acceptance letter from the Designated Learning Institution you wish to attend;
Providing evidence of financial support to pay for tuition and living costs;
Satisfying a visa officer that you will return home at the end of your studies;
Passing a medical examination .

apply to renew your study permit from within Canada, if you decide to continue studying in MLC College

If you decide that you want to continue your studies in another program after you complete your short-term course or program, you must apply through a Canadian visa office outside Canada for a study permit if you do not already have one.

Applicants must meet all minimum admissions requirements which cannot be waived by MLC College or by the applicant under any circumstances.

The admission process is normally completed in few working days. Accepted students receive an e-mail with a Conditional Letter of Acceptance, and must pay a tuition deposit. On receipt of this deposit, the College will issue an Official Letter of Acceptance. Include the Letter of Acceptance with your application to Citizenship and Immigration Canada for a Visa and Study Permit.

Students without proof of medical insurance in Canada will not be able to register for classes. To be officially admitted to the College and register for classes, you must pay the remainder of your fees.
