English Requirements

Students applying for any New Image College of Fine Arts programs are required to demonstrate their ability to write and speak English at an acceptable level.

If your second language is English, but you can speak and write it well, our admissions representatives can give you an English assessment over the phone to assess your acceptance into a program.

We do not require a specific test score in order to accept international students into our programs. The phone interview will be sufficient to determine your ability to study at New Image College of Fine Arts but, if you possess records of English language test scores and would like to submit them, please feel free to do so in your application.

Medical Coverage

It is recommended that all international students have medical insurance coverage while studying in Canada. We can help you to get in contact with a medical insurance agent to help you purchase the medical plan that suits you the best.

International students will qualify for British Columbia’s medical coverage once they have resided in BC for three months. Visit the Health Insurance BC website at http://www.health.gov.bc.ca/insurance/index.html to obtain a copy of the application.

Student and Work Permit

All international students enrolled to an educational program longer than 6 months must obtain a student permit prior to entering Canada. In order to participate in any of the New Image College of Fine Arts co-op programs and be able to work in Canada (which is essential part of your studies), you must also apply for a work permit.

After completing registration and have received full payment or deposit of tuition, New Image College of Fine Arts will provide you with the following documents you will need when applying for your student and or work permit:

• Letter of acceptance.
• Co-op letter of acceptance (if you are participating in a co-op program)
