Canadore College

Current or former Canadore students use the internal application. They confirm an internal offer with Admissions. Mature applicants may be considered when they are 19 or older by the program start. They must lack an OSSD (your Ontario high school diploma) or equivalent. They must still complete program prerequisites. International applicants use the international portal. They provide translated transcripts. They meet the higher applicable program or study-permit English standard.

An international offer becomes a reserved seat after the required payment is received. Missing the payment schedule can make the offer inactive. The seat can then go to a waitlisted applicant. Domestic and international payment dates are not interchangeable. Registration generally stays open through the tenth day of class. Canadore's admissions FAQ names Aviation programs as an exception.

The Honours Bachelor of Science in Nursing shows how program rules add to the general route. Its next listed intake is fall 2027 at College Drive in North Bay. You need an OSSD or equivalent with six 4U or 4M credits, including English, biology, math and chemistry, and at least a 70% average. Once you're registered, keep fees current: Canadore's important dates list a $150 late fee for each term an account is overdue.

Read the whole fee table for your applicant category and academic year. The Digital Media 2026–27 domestic example separates tuition and ancillary fees in both years. It adds a first-year material fee and a second-year trip fee. Those rows show why a headline tuition figure is incomplete. They also show why another program's total cannot be an estimate without a clear label.

Experiential learning can mean a skills lab, simulation or applied research. It can also mean a capstone, field placement, clinical placement or apprenticeship. Nursing students complete mandatory placements. They pay their own transportation to assigned sites. This may require travel to nearby communities. Placement-clearance requirements and costs vary by program and host. Check the program package before accepting an offer.

The nursing degree lists 2026–27 fees for all four years at College Drive. Domestic students pay $6,481.08 in tuition each year, and with ancillary and material fees year 1 totals $8,318.35. International tuition is $23,790.40 a year, so year 1 totals $25,997.95. Clinical practicums run through every year, ending with a preceptorship, and you also budget for items such as duty shoes.

The same official fee page also retains domestic refund text calling $250 a non-refundable deposit due June 15. That conflicts with the Fall 2026 calendar's June 1 deposit date. Confirm the individualized fee statement or Admissions instruction before paying; do not silently substitute either date. The $250 is applied to the student account, but its non-refundable treatment matters when withdrawing.

For eligible domestic full-time withdrawals within ten business days of the semester start, the published rule refunds current-period tuition and ancillary fees less $250 and refunds prepaid later semesters. A formal withdrawal is required. For OSAP students, the refund less the non-refundable charge goes to the National Student Loans Service Centre. After ten days, current-semester charges are non-refundable while prepaid later semesters remain refundable.

For an international visa refusal before the tenth day, proof must be submitted within 60 calendar days of receipt of the refusal for the applicable LOA and term; a $300 administration charge applies. Other international non-attendance or deferral after the LOA start, or withdrawal within ten business days, forfeits the $2,700 deposit. International requests use the current policy and OCAS route.

Canadore routes students to OSAP, entrance awards, bursaries and scholarships, but eligibility and windows differ. Its financial-support page describes entrance awards for first-year Ontario residents enrolled full time, an October bursary application period, and a November-to-December scholarship period. The same page warns that funds are limited, so an application is not confirmed funding and students should plan resources before attendance.

The student-resources directory links students to many services. These include mental-health services, peer tutoring, testing, iSucceed, library services, the bookstore, Indigenous supports, athletics, the Students' Council and financial aid. These links are service entry points. They do not prove that every service has staff at every campus. They do not prove that every service is open at every hour. Use the current service page for booking, emergency and eligibility instructions.

Campus logistics differ. College Drive lists outdoor gathering areas, a multi-faith meditation room and a light-therapy lounge open to all Canadore students. Aviation, Commerce Court and West Parry Sound have separate addresses and campus toolkit routes. International student support also lists campus-specific offices. Confirm the location before you travel. This matters most when a program is based outside College Drive.

Mental Health Navigators offer short-term, confidential support that's free for students, and you book through the virtual front desk. Canadore also publishes a Student Mental Health and Well-Being Strategy report.

The Canadore Students' Council runs on-campus cultural, social and athletic programming, and its office is in the Welcome Centre inside the College Drive main doors. Full-time students who pay the extended health plan fee are enrolled automatically in the guard.me Extended Health Plan. You can join clubs through an online form, and the Panther Press is the student-run magazine.

The First Peoples' Centre offers cultural and academic support for Indigenous learners. Canadore says nearly 20 percent of its on-campus students celebrate Indigenous heritage, from nations including Ojibway, OjiCree, Cree, Algonquin, Métis, Mohawk and Inuit.
