Decide when you want to begin your studies

MITT offers multiple intakes throughout the year in Fall, Winter and Spring. Program availability varies by intake; please check current availability here.

Apply Early! Many programs are very popular and fill up quickly. Take time to learn about the many programs we offer and carefully select a program that matches your abilities, interests, and future goals. Please ensure you review the entrance requirements for your program of choice, complete the application in full, and have all your original documents are ready.

International Applicants should research the amount of time it will take to obtain a study permit. Be aware of these timelines when applying for a specific program intake.

Determine if you meet entrance requirements

General Entrance Requirements: Post-Secondary Certificate and Diploma Programs

The general admission requirement for all regular full-time certificate and diploma programs is high school graduation (or expected completion within 45 days of the program start date). Applicants may apply while still enrolled in high school as long as they are able to provide an interim transcript.

Applicants who have been educated outside of Canada should review the general admission requirements [PDF] based on country/curriculum of study.

IMPORTANT: In addition to the general entrance requirements, applicants with previous post-secondary studies must be in good academic standing at all previous post-secondary institutions attended.

General Entrance Requirements: Post-Graduate Programs

The general admission requirement for Post Graduate programs is an undergraduate diploma or degree from an accredited institution, with good academic standing (this includes MITT’s Post-Graduate Certificate in Business Management). A minimum of 2 years of full-time undergraduate level coursework may also be considered.

Program Specific Entrance Requirements

In addition to meeting the general admission requirements noted above, applicants must also meet the program specific admission requirements for the program they are applying to. Visit the appropriate program page for program specific admission requirements and minimum grade requirements.

Applicants still enrolled in high school can submit an interim transcript confirming enrolment and applicable interim grades in the required courses. Final transcripts must be provided at least 30 days prior to the program start showing that all admission requirements have been maintained/met.

English Language Proficiency Requirements

English Language Proficiency is required for all applicants whose primary language is not English.

Applicants who do not currently meet English Language Proficiency requirements can apply for additional English language training at MITT's English Language Institute (ELI) and may be eligible for conditional admission to a post-secondary program once enrolled in the ELI.

Please visit the English Language Proficiency page for program specific English Language proficiency requirements.

Additional Program Requirements

Please note that some programs have additional requirements needed to participate in the program or work practicum, graduate from the program or be employed in certain professional fields. These requirements do not impact admissibility, but may impact a student’s ability to continue in or successfully complete their program or to gain employment following graduation. It is recommended that applicants review these program specific requirements prior to applying.

Gather supporting documents

The following documents must be submitted/uploaded with your application:

1. High School/Secondary Academic Documents - Upload your official high school/secondary transcript/mark sheet and graduation certificates (if applicable). They must be official documents printed on school letterhead and signed by a school official. In the case of state or national examinations all documents must be issued directly by the awarding body. If you are still studying, please upload a copy of your most recent transcript. If you have attended more than one school, please upload transcripts from all schools attended.

If you are still studying, please upload a copy of your most recent transcript. Students who are currently studying in their final year of high school may be eligible for early, conditional admission using their most recent high school transcript (final Grade 11 transcript or interim Grade 12 transcript). The most recent transcript must show the required senior level academic courses with current (or predicted) grades that satisfy the admission requirements of the program applied to. Final official documents must be submitted as soon as studies have finished and must be received by MITT at least 30 days prior to the start of the program. Final admission is dependent on successful completion of all Grade 12 admission requirements.

If you have attended more than one school, please upload transcripts from all schools attended.
