How to apply

How admission to George Brown College works, step by step:
- 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.
- Language certificate. In English or French, depending on the province and program.
- Application. Applications are submitted online; once reviewed, the university sends an offer — with it you can plan finances and housing.
- 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. Keep in mind: study permits for Russian citizens are approved noticeably more strictly — prepare a strong financial file.
