Cancellation and deferral policy
The $200 application fee is non-refundable. Tuition deposits are non-transferable and refundable only for students whose visa or study permit application has been denied. If this happens to you, we will refund your tuition deposit if you send official proof by the first day of the program that your visa or study permit application has been denied. If you have not yet arrived in Canada, you can defer your studies one time without penalty if we receive your deferral request by the first day of the program. Normally, deferral requests will not be granted for students who have already arrived in Canada. Official proof of visa/study permit refusal and/or a deferral request must be received by the first day of the program or your tuition deposit is forfeited. Once a term has begun, you can withdraw in writing from a course or courses up until the Friday of the first week of classes, and be refunded 90% of your remaining tuition (less the deposit). All other fees are non-refundable. After this date, refunds will not be issued. The English Language Institute reserves the right to cancel any program because of insufficient registration. You will be refunded any fees paid for a cancelled program.
