Am I an International Student?

At EduOnline, students are considered international students if they are neither Canadian citizens nor permanently residing in Canada. If you are registering from an address outside of Canada and are (1) a Canadian Citizen, (2) have a permanent residence in Canada, or (3) are attending a Canadian International School that studies the Ontario curriculum, please be sure to contact our office before proceeding to register to ensure the appropriate course fee is applied.

Studying with EduOnline

An international student does not require a study permit in order to take online courses at EduOnline. However, if you plan to physically enter Canada in order to study, you may need a specific visa or permit. Please contact Citizenship and Immigration Canada for more information on entrance and residency permits and visas.

Ontario Student Record (OSR) for the International Student

In Canada, the 10 provinces and three territories have jurisdiction over education. An Ontario Student Record (OSR) must exist for every student registered in a school in Ontario. In order for any student to take an online course with EduOnline, an OSR must either exist or be established. The OSR is a physical file folder containing all official school records for a student, such as transcripts, community service records, Ontario literacy records, report cards, IEPs, PLARs, and other important information pertaining to the student ½s education. EduOnline does not charge any fees to establish an OSR. In order to establish the OSR, EdunOnline requires that the student provide the following documentation:

  1. Identification

    The student must forward a copy of their government-issued ID to EduOnline. Acceptable examples include passport, driver's licence, or birth certificate. Identification must be provided in the English or French language, or be accompanied by a notarised English translation. ID may be sent to EduOnline in one of the two following ways: (1) email addressed to the appropriate guidance coordinator, or (2) mail to
    EduOnline
    78 Allure St.
    Newmarket, Ontario
    Canada L3X 0L1

  2. Official International Transcripts

    When taking a course that requires a prerequisite, EduOnline requires a copy of the student's official transcript to prove he or she has met the equivalent of the prerequisite course requirement. The student must forward his or her official transcript to EduOnline in one of the two following ways: (1) email addressed to the appropriate guidance coordinator, or (2) mail to
    EduOnline
    78 Allure St.
    Newmarket, Ontario

    If the student’s transcript is not written in English, an English translation of the transcript along with the original must be submitted to EduOnline. Many issuing schools may be able to translate the transcript into English upon request.
