Application Process for Prospective International Students

Important Update Regarding Tuition Payments

As of May 2025, we are no longer able to accept the first year of tuition fees in advance. This change unfortunately makes students ineligible for the Student Direct Stream (SDS) visa process.

As an Ontario Career College, we are subject to significant penalties for accepting tuition payments up front, and to comply with these regulations, we have adjusted our payment process accordingly.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we adhere to these guidelines. Please reach out to our admissions team if you have any questions or need assistance with your application.

Eligibility

We accept only career-aspiring pilots seeking their Private Pilot Licence, Commercial Licence, and required airline ratings. Applicants who meet requirements will be considered for acceptance, but acceptance is not guaranteed.
