Tuition Fees

On this page, you can find information related to our program fees, refund policies and payment options.

Tuition Fees and Health Care Insurance

Please note that there is a $350 CAD non-refundable application fee to be submitted with your application.

Health insurance is mandatory in Ontario. Every Visa Student must have coverage while studying in Ontario. For this reason, health insurance cost is included in the tuition fees.

Tuition fees are to be made payable to the Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) by certified cheque, bank draft, money order or wire transfer in Canadian currency.

Refund Policy

If the complete study permit package document has been submitted to Citizenship and Immigration Canada and the study permit is not granted, the full amount less $350 for processing fees and $500 for courier and administration costs will be deducted from the refund.

For a refund, the students must provide:

  1. The original Refusal from Immigration Canada stating that the Visa was not approved must be submitted within 60 days from the date on the refusal letter.

  2. The original TCDSB Letter of Acceptance.

  3. The original Receipt of Tuition Fee Payment.

  4. A written refund request by the parent including the name and address of the person to receive the refund.

Refund Exclusions

No refunds will be issued for the following reasons:

  1. If the student chooses to withdraw for any reasons other than the study permit being denied by Citizenship and Immigration Canada.

  2. If the Study Permit is denied by Citizenship and Immigration Canada due to missing documents or incomplete paperwork.

  3. If the student has started attending classes.

  4. If the student is found in violation of school regulations and asked to withdraw from the school.

  5. If the student changes board during the school year.

  6. If false medical information was provided and health conditions were not disclosed.

  7. If the student’s immigration status changes during the school year, the student or parents are asked to contact our office immediately.

Payment Options for International Students

The TCDSB has partnered with CIBC International Student Pay to offer a secure online portal for International Students to make tuition payments in their local currency.

Students are required to log in using their TCDSB Student ID and Invoice Number.

Payments will typically take 2-5 business days to be reflected in your online student account.
