Cancellation and Refund Policy and Procedure
I. STUDY PERMIT REFUSAL REFUND
A full tuition fee refund (minus the $750 administrative fee) will be granted if Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) does not issue the study permit to student. To obtain a full tuition fee refund, the student must submit the following documents within sixty (60) calendars days of the issue date of the original refusal letter from IRCC:

Families and students should contact the International Students and Admissions office as soon as they know that the study permit application of the student is rejected by IRCC, either requesting for refund or deferral. No refund will be granted if the family/student fails to submit the above documents within sixty (60) days from the issue date of the original refusal letter from IRCC.
If the student’s deferral request has been granted, a new refusal letter from IRCC will be needed to qualify for full tuition refund.
