How admission to George Brown College works, step by step:

1. Choose a program (9–12 months ahead). Decide on the field — business, tourism, hospitality and design — and the level: bachelor’s or master’s. Programs differ in requirements, deadlines and fees.
2. Language certificate. Instruction is in English; acceptable evidence and minimum scores depend on the program and credential.
3. Application. Applications are submitted online; once reviewed, the university sends an offer — with it you can plan finances and housing.
4. Student visa and relocation. After the offer, StudyU helps prepare visa or residence-permit documents for Canada; the consular or migration authority makes the decision.

• Passport
• School certificate and transcript
• IELTS/TOEFL
• A motivation letter — for certain programs

After graduation. A post-graduation work permit (PGWP) is not automatic. Before choosing a program, check whether that specific program and your own study history meet IRCC's current PGWP eligibility rules. Graduation from this college alone does not guarantee a work permit.

George Brown College is strongest in business, tourism, hospitality and design. Use the career service, job fairs and internships from your first semesters: practical experience matters most for a first job.

Another path is a master’s degree: with a bachelor’s from Canada you can apply to programs and scholarships worldwide.
