The quality of education, affordability, and immense research opportunities are key factors behind this decision. Now that you have decided studying in Canada is right for you, what\u2019s the next step? Let\u2019s go into the depth of each aspect required for a successful application.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Academics<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good academic standing is an important requirement for all universities in Canada. You would be required to submit:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and 11th grade final marksheets\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">12<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> grade predicted marksheet<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IELTS or TOEFL score<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SAT or ACT score (Optional)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These standardized tests are optional for most universities, but in case you do take any of them and receive a good score, make sure to include them in your applications to get an edge over other applicants or to improve your chances of scholarships.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Other important components:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having a well-rounded application package is essential. Along with excellent academics, you should also be able to showcase your personality, your extra-curricular activities and other work experience. Universities in Canada will often require:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Statement of Purpose or questionnaires like the Admission Information Form and Personal profile form<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Letters of Recommendations<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Online video interviews<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We know this is a lot to take in. But don\u2019t worry because we\u2019ve got your back throughout this process! Here\u2019s an example to put all this information into perspective:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s say that you are applying to the University of Waterloo for Computer Science. You will need to fulfil the following requirements:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A minimum of 90% or equivalent in grade 10, 11 and grade 12 predicted scores.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A minimum IELTS score of 6.5 or a minimum TOEFL score of 90.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An exceptional Admission Information Form. This questionnaire gives you an opportunity to tell the university everything that makes you stand out. It&#8217;s a platform through which you can share your extracurricular activities, work experience, volunteering activities and other initiatives. This is also where you can explain your reason for the choice of university and the course.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An online video interview may need to be submitted, which allows the university to virtually meet you and get a sense of who you are.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I hope you found this blog helpful.
