Confirmation of Registration

International students who have obtained their visa approvals and reported their visa copy via OCAS IAS (where you submitted your application to us) will be registered in the order that the visa approvals are received.

It is very important that you upload a copy of your visa through the portal immediately when your visa is approved. Otherwise, we cannot proceed with your registration.

There are maximum seats for each program the college offers, if you do not confirm your visa early, we cannot guarantee you a seat in your program.

Once you are registered, your Confirmation of Registration (CoR) letter will be emailed to you.

This letter includes all the required information, such as:

  • Tuition fee payment information for the first semester,
  • Your Northern College email address,
  • Your Student Portal account information and Blackboard login

This is your enrolment letter to get through the Canadian Border when you arrive in Canada. The college will NOT issue any other enrolment letter to you until you arrive on campus.

Only students who received the CoR letter are permitted to travel to Canada for their studies.
