Admission Requirements for Domestic Students
Registered as a career college under the Ontario Career Colleges Act, 2005
Admission requirements for vocational diploma programs at Canadian Career Education College (CCEC) for Canadian citizens, permanent residents and protected persons.
The Admission Process
The complete admission process can take 30 to 45 days. It begins with an initial assessment and an offer of admission. If all documents are complete, an offer may be made in about a month. The offer is not a Letter of Acceptance (LOA). You then have 30 days to accept; once the LOA fee is paid, your documents are reviewed again before final documentation is issued.
Each program has its own admission criteria. Where a governing body sets regulatory admission requirements, those requirements apply. Read the program details before you apply.
Required Documents
Domestic applicants must provide
- Copy of government-issued photo ID (such as a passport bio data page or government ID card)
- Copy of proof of status in Canada (such as a passport, PR card, birth certificate or refugee status)

- Copy of a secondary school certificate, or another degree or diploma equal to at least a Canadian secondary school certificate, or an ECA or MSA (if applicable)
- Be 18 years of age or older at the time of registration
