As per CIC guidelines, students who have received their CAQs and Visa before March 18, 2020 allowed to enter into Canada but considering the lockdown situation, mandatory 14 day quarantine required after entering Canada, flight travel restrictions that may be in place in various countries and safety concerns of students and their parents, we have decided to defer the May 2020 intake.
To accommodate May 2020 intake students, we have decided to start an interim intake on July 2020 so the students of May 2020 intake have an option to defer their admission to either July 2020 intake or Sept 2020 intake. We will process the deferred admissions when we get the request from our partners or students.
