International Admissions FAQs

      

Please note time spent studying outside Canada will not count towards the length of a PGWP after Jan. 8, 2023.

Seneca will continue to deliver programs in four different formats: online, in-person, hybrid — a mix of online and in-person — and flexible. Program and course delivery information for each program is available on program pages.

As an international student in Canada, if your courses are delivered online, the time you spend studying online from within Canada still counts toward the length of your post-graduation work permit (PGWP) if you meet all other PGWP eligibility criteria. It is highly recommended that you select and attend in-class options when available to ensure PGWP eligibility, but if they are not offered in person, you can study online from within Canada.

Seneca offers admission to students up to the first day of classes. However, applications will not be accepted once a program becomes full. Therefore, it is recommended that you apply soon.
