Olds College will accept applications after the deadline, but you may not receive your student visa in time. Please arrive before classes begin so you can become oriented to the town and Olds College. 

Visa Requirements

If you are planning to study for over six months, you will need student authorization.  You can study ELL for approximately three months with a visitors visa.

We do not recommend coming to Canada on a visitors’ visa if you are planning to stay longer than three months.  Please contact the nearest Immigration Canada office for current information.  Olds College takes no responsibility for immigration matters.

You will receive an acceptance letter which will allow you to apply for a student visa.  The acceptance letter will show how many terms you have paid for.
