While this fall will be different from other years, Ryerson has a comprehensive series of programs and supports available to help you transition to the university or welcome you back, wherever you are. In order to get your application in the queue, you should apply for your study permit as soon as you receive your offer of admission. With the majority of course offerings in Fall 2020 shifted to an online format due to COVID-19, students can choose to begin studying from outside of Canada if their study permit has not yet been approved. If you decide to begin your academic program prior to receiving your study permit approval, there are a few important considerations to take into account:
- If your study permit application is denied, you may not be able to proceed with or complete your academic program when in-person classes resume. In this case, any request for tuition refunds, whether partially or in full, will be subject to university policy.
- If you intend to remain in Canada upon completing your studies via the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) Program, you must have received your study permit approval before starting your online studies if you want them to count towards the length of your PGWP. If you begin your program before receiving a study permit approval letter, the time that you are studying online without this document will not count toward the length of your PGWP. For more information on PGWP considerations and distance learning, please see “Will taking courses online impact my post-graduation work permit (PGWP)?”
If your courses have been moved online due to COVID-19, you are still eligible to apply for a PGWP. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has updated the eligibility requirements, (external link) to reflect this change. If you have a valid study permit or have been approved for a study permit and are unable to travel to Canada to begin your studies, you are still eligible for a PGWP. You are eligible even if you begin your studies outside of Canada and complete up to 50% of your studies via distance education. If your program begins in Fall 2020 and you are completing your courses via distance education while outside of Canada, the time between the beginning of the semester and December 31, 2020 will not be deducted from the length of your PGWP.
Due to COVID-19, you may now submit official transcripts to grdadmit@ryerson. Please request that your institution send these official documents on your behalf.
The MEIE program will not be providing students with the option to defer their acceptance. You may choose to reapply for the program for the following year, however, we cannot guarantee a secured spot in the program. If you choose to reapply, your existing application may be used, if you choose to keep it.
