Admissions

Fees & payment

From CAD 2,835 for the 12-week route, or CAD 3,485 with the 12-week company placement. Nothing is charged before you have an offer, and the largest fees are only due after your visa is approved.

Choose your route

Twelve weeks, or twenty-four with a placement

The taught training is identical. The longer route adds a 12-week internship placement inside a host company — hands-on experience on real jobs — for a further CAD 650.

12 weeks

CAD 2,835

The taught program on its own

Twelve weeks of in-person, workshop-based training at our Nanaimo campus, finishing with your CTC Certificate of Completion.

  • 12 weeks of in-person workshop training
  • CTC Certificate of Completion

24 weeks

CAD 3,485

The same training, plus 12 weeks inside a real company

The same twelve taught weeks, then a twelve-week internship placement with a local company. You work alongside their staff on real jobs, supervised throughout, so you finish with genuine hands-on experience and an employer reference — not only a certificate.

  • Everything in the 12-week route
  • A further 12 weeks placed inside a host company
  • Hands-on work on real jobs, supervised and assessed
  • An employer reference alongside your certificate
  • Still under six months in total, so a visitor visa still applies

Total includes the CAD 650 company placement fee.

Paying

How to pay

Payment methods

International bank transfer or card payment. Full banking details and a secure payment link are issued with your invitation letter — we never ask for payment details by phone or in an unsolicited message.

Currency

All fees are charged in Canadian dollars. Your bank may add a transfer or conversion fee — that charge is separate from your CTC fees, and you are responsible for it.

Receipts

We issue a receipt by email within two working days of each payment clearing. Keep these — they are useful supporting evidence for your visa application.

Refunds and deferrals

If your visa is refused, we defer your place at no extra cost or refund your course and accommodation fees in full. The admission fee is non-refundable but carries over to a deferred intake.
