Tuition Information

International: CAD 34,148.27 a year in tuition (Ontario Tech's 2026-2027 international rate for the Bachelor of Health Science, based on 10 courses or 30 credit hours a year; the same rate is listed for each year of study). Rates for students entering in Fall 2027 had not been published yet, and Ontario Tech says fees can change without notice. On top of tuition, every student pays ancillary fees (health and dental plan, U-Pass transit pass, sports and recreation, career services and others); Ontario Tech estimates these at about CAD 2,500-3,500 a year, depending on program and status. To accept an offer you pay a non-refundable tuition deposit (amount shown in the offer letter), which international students must pay before asking for a Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL); it may be refunded only if the study permit is refused. International entrants with an admission average of 80% or higher can receive an International Merit Award of CAD 20,000 over four years (CAD 5,000 a year, renewable with a 3.30 GPA), and international secondary school students studying outside Canada can apply for the Global Leadership Award, worth CAD 120,000 over four years

Admission Requirements

• Ontario prerequisites: the OSSD with six 4U/4M courses including English (ENG4U) with at least 60%, Biology (SBI4U) and one of Advanced Functions (MHF4U), Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U) or Mathematics of Data Management (MDM4U). Chemistry (SCH4U) is recommended for the Exercise Science option. Last year's cut-off was 70% and the expected cut-off is in the mid-70s
• International prerequisites (2027-2028 admissions chart): British-patterned curriculum: English, Biology and Mathematics (Chemistry recommended). IB: English, Biology and one of Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches or Mathematics: Applications and Interpretation (Chemistry recommended). CAPE: Communication Studies, Biology 1 and one of Applied Math 1, Integrated Math or Pure Math 1 (Chemistry recommended)
• Students from outside Canada need the secondary credential that gives university entry in their own system, with the program's subject prerequisites at the senior level. Examples from Ontario Tech's country list: the British-patterned GCE with at least five IGCSE/GCSE/O-level academic subjects (including English) and at least two A-levels, all at grade C or higher; the full IB Diploma with six subjects (three at Higher Level), at least 24 points and no score below 4; U.S. high school graduation from an accredited school with competitive Grade 12 prerequisite marks (send SAT or ACT scores if you have them); or India's CBSE, CISCE or a State Board Grade XII certificate (current Grade XII students send final Grade XI marks and Grade XII midterm marks). Post-secondary credentials from outside Canada may need a WES evaluation. Meeting the minimum does not guarantee admission
• English proficiency (if English is not your first language): IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band below 6.0; TOEFL iBT 4.5 overall with no section below 4.0; Duolingo English Test 120; CAEL 70 with no sub-score below 60; PTE Academic 58; Cambridge English Advanced 180 with no band below 170; Oxford ELLT 7; or IB English A at grade 4 or higher. The test must be taken within two years of the start date. Three years of full-time study (at least three academic courses a term) at a secondary or post-secondary school that teaches and examines in English also meets the requirement (ESL time does not count). Applicants who meet every requirement except English can take the online English for Academic Purposes program of Ontario Tech's partner, Oxford International Digital Institute
• Ontario Tech says all of its in-person bachelor's degree programs are eligible for the post-graduation work permit (PGWP), with no CIP code requirement
