Step 1: Study Permits, Visas and Guardianship

Most foreign nationals need a study permit and either a Temporary Resident Visa or an electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) to study in Canada. Please click here to learn more and to begin the application process.

International students at Ridley College for 2020-21 whose primary residence is outside of North America must have a guardian who holds Canadian citizenship or Permanent Residency. An international family may identify their own guardian who is English-speaking and over the age of 21. Families who do not have a guardian may wish to use a third-party consultant to provide guardianship. Along with a number of other independent schools in Ontario, Ridley College works with International Student Guardianship Canada (ISGC) to ensure students are safe and well cared for during their time at the school. For further information, please visit the ISGC website here.

The study permit and visa application process can be complex and lengthy. Please click here to view the processing times for these documents. Ridley College will provide the necessary Letter of Acceptance and statement of account (upon request), to assist with the application. If families require additional guidance with the study permit and visa application process, families may choose to contact ISGC or Ridley College’s Admissions Office.
