The Official Letter of Acceptance (LOA) Protocol
The Letter of Acceptance (LOA) is the cornerstone document for all international students seeking to matriculate at Toronto High School, serving as the official confirmation of acceptance into an academic program. This document is a mandatory requirement by the Government of Canada for the application of a Canadian Study Permit (Student Visa), which is required for any student planning to undertake studies for six months or longer in Toronto. The LOA officially confirms the student’s enrollment status, program of study, and expected duration of attendance, providing the necessary institutional guarantee for immigration officials.
To ensure the prompt and accurate issuance of the official Letter of Acceptance, the following documents must be submitted to the Office of International Admissions:
- Copy of Passport: The applicant must provide a clear, legible copy of the pages in their passport that explicitly display the student’s photograph and date of birth. This information is critical for establishing identity and verifying biographical details for the visa application process.
- Academic Transcript: A copy of the most recent academic records for assessment.
- Proof of Payment: Confirmation of the required advance fees and/or full tuition payment, depending on the chosen program of study.
Upon receipt and verification of these documents, the LOA will be prepared by the administrative team. This letter is a vital component of the immigration application package and is expedited to ensure the student has ample time to complete the visa process. Our dedicated staff understand the urgency of this process and are prepared to offer guidance on its proper use in the Study Permit application. Students are reminded that the non-refundable advance fees contribute to the final tuition balance but are retained to cover administrative costs should the student withdraw or fail to secure a visa.
