International students applying to a program of study at Sask Polytech will now be admitted via a two-step process.

• Step one - Offer letter
  • If the applicant is eligible and there are available seats in the program, they will be provided with an offer letter detailing the program and requiring a non-refundable $10,000 tuition deposit within 30 days. Payment of the tuition deposit will confirm their seat in the program to which they applied, and nonpayment of the tuition deposit by the specified deadline will lead to cancellation of the admission offer.
• Step two - Acceptance letter and provincial attestation letter
  • Applicants who receive an offer letter and pay their tuition deposit by the specified deadline will be provided with a letter of acceptance and a provincial attestation letter. The letter of acceptance will confirm the student’s seat in their program of study and can be submitted with the provincial attestation letter when the student is ready to apply for a study permit from Immigration, Refugees & Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

If you do not receive a seat or are returning to complete your program you may be asked to reapply.
