Humber Polytechnic

Humber Polytechnic (formerly Humber College) is a public polytechnic in Toronto, Ontario. Its applied programs span media, arts, IT, business and other fields; confirm the credential, campus and any work-integrated learning for the specific course. Humber explains its current name.

North, Lakeshore and Downtown (International Graduate School) are different Toronto locations. Graduation does not by itself guarantee a job or a post-graduation work permit.

Admission varies by program and credential. Check Humber’s admission requirements, academic equivalencies and English proficiency before applying.

How admission to Humber Polytechnic works, step by step:

1. Choose a program (9–12 months ahead). Decide on the field — IT, media, arts and business — and the credential: diploma, bachelor’s degree or graduate certificate. 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; the college reviews eligibility before issuing an offer. Use the offer and published fees to 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 portfolio - for creative programs

Exact requirements depend on the program - we'll help you prepare.

Start early with required transcripts, translations and language evidence; processing time depends on your documents and program. Final package checks are part of agreed StudyU support.

Tuition and mandatory fees depend on the program and academic year; confirm the official tuition page before budgeting.

Program-specific cost check. Compare the published tuition for your exact program and intake; add deposits and ancillary fees separately. Any funding depends on published eligibility rules.

Beyond tuition, budget for housing, insurance, visa fees and tickets must be planned separately. During the free initial consultation, we clarify your goal, profile, timing, and budget and identify the next realistic step. A personal strategy, requirement checks, selection of agreed options, document preparation, applications, and support are provided under an agreement with StudyU.

Humber offers residence accommodation in Toronto.

Upon arrival, the first tasks are registration, a bank account and a transport card — every student gets our step-by-step checklist.

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.

The strong fields of Humber Polytechnic are IT, media, arts and business. As at most universities in Canada, students have access to a career centre, job fairs and internships — use them from the first semesters: hands-on experience is decisive for the first job.

An alternative track is further study: a bachelor’s degree earned in Canada opens master’s programs worldwide, and a master’s strengthens your position on the job market.
