Open yourself to the opportunity of learning in another country.

At Lakeland College, we welcome students from all over the globe. In the past few years we've had students from more than 20 countries.

We also help current students find study abroad opportunities and internships. As part of our mandate, Lakeland is also involved in projects and partnerships with other post-secondaries in Canada and around the globe.

Club trips and program practicums beyond Canada are annual, they aren't a part of our official role.

Why choose Lakeland?

We asked our international students why they chose Lakeland College. Their top 3 reasons:

  • for high quality education
  • for immigration opportunities
  • because its affordable

That's exactly why we think Lakeland College is a good choice for you.

We built our reputation on a proven ability to offer crucial skills and knowledge. In other words, what you need to succeed in your chosen career.

Our top quality education is affordable. Plus its full of hands-on, work-integrated and student-led experiences.

Our reputation is strengthened by satisfied students who recommend us to their family and friends. That's true of both international and domestic students.

So, read and learn more about the advantages Lakeland College offers you.

Who is an international student?

If you don't have a Canadian passport or a residency card, then you are an international student.

How we help

Our international team will help you from an initial question about coming to Lakeland through to your time as a student.

We can advise you about programs, help arrange transportation to the college and answer questions about campus WiFi.

You can always contact us via international@lakelandcollege.ca.

Plan ahead

Congratulations, you've decided you want to come to Lakeland College.

Becoming an international student takes time. We advise you start the process at least 1 year before you plan to start at Lakeland College.

Here are some of the reasons why:

  • Saving money to travel and pay your tuition. Immigration Canada will also require proof you have enough money for your study and living expenses.
  • Assessing your academic qualifications may require referral to an agency. Current processing time by International Qualifications Assessment Service (IQAS) is 4 months.
  • Your study permit/student visa may take several weeks to be processed. Check the study permit application processing time for your country. For example, times have varied from 2 to 31 weeks.
Other considerations before applying

Before you apply

  • Understand where we are located in Canada. Lloydminster is over 3,200 km from Toronto and about 1,500 km from Vancouver.
  • Take a look at the costs: travel, tuition, and living costs. Can you afford to study abroad? Make a budget and check the value of Canadian currency against your own.
  • Choose a program. Check out all the programs open to international students.
  • Check the academic requirements of your program.
  • Do you speak, write and read English well enough to be a student in Canada? Check English language requirements.
  • Do you have a credit card so you can pay the application fee when you apply online?
