Organise qualifications, grades, English, budget, intake, target province and post-study goals.
Compare admission, DLI and PGWP status, CIP code, co-op, fees, city costs and fallback choices.

Track conditions and follow-up. Study-permit documents remain subject to official rules and qualified professional advice where required.
Eligible applicants within scope may receive a free initial assessment, school-selection guidance, a document checklist, institutional application submission and routine progress follow-up. Where an institution actually pays an enrolment commission, any student rebate is confirmed in writing case by case. School application fees, translation or certification, tests, tuition, immigration fees and third-party costs are excluded. OTC does not guarantee admission, a visa, PGWP eligibility, employment or immigration outcomes.
This is education information and application-coordination guidance, not immigration or legal advice. Rules change; use the current IRCC, EduCanada, institution and provincial requirements at the time of application.
