International Students
Special requirements
International students accepted into The School of Toronto Dance Theatre will need to obtain the appropriate documents from Citizenship and Immigration Canada. All students will need to obtain a study permit and in some cases, depending on the home country, a temporary resident visa.
Students must apply for these documents before traveling to Canada and allow for processing time by the visa office.
In order to obtain this permit, prospective students will need:
- a letter of acceptance from the School;
- proof of identity, such as a valid passport;
- proof of financial support in order to pay the School fees and to live in Toronto;
- to establish that they will return home at the end of their studies;
- to provide medical and/or security information, if needed; and
- to qualify as temporary residents in Canada and to obtain a temporary resident visa, if needed.
Full details are available at Citizenship and Immigration Canada's website.
The School strongly advises international students to obtain coverage under a health insurance plan for the duration of their time at the School. They must provide the School with photocopies of their passport and immigration documentation for their student files on orientation day.
