The Algonquin College Application Process-South Asian Applications

It will be necessary to submit a new application and pay new application fees.
- The application will be cancelled and cannot be reopened if an alternate intake decision is not made and communicated to Algonquin College within 14 days of receiving information that a programme has been waitlisted. It will be necessary to submit a new application and pay new application fees.
- In order to facilitate communication and prevent misunderstandings, all staff members of our partners are urged to sign off on any messages sent to Algonquin College via the portal.
- Due to study gaps after high school, between degrees after high school, or between any two qualifications after high school, applications are subject to pre-screening based on regionally specific conditions, in compliance with IRCC norms, and may not meet all eligibility requirements.
