For international applicants, interviews can be conducted online.
Step 3: Acceptance
If both the Principal and the prospective student’s family feel that Columbia Academy Elementary is a good fit for the student’s learning needs, the school will proceed with enrollment.
A tuition invoice will be issued, and official acceptance will be confirmed upon receipt of tuition payment. The school will also request the necessary enrollment documents, which must be completed and returned to finalize the student’s enrollment.
We recommend that international families begin the study permit application process 3–4 months in advance.
Immigration Canada typically requires the following documents:
We advise international students to arrive one week prior to the start of the school year or term. This allows time to purchase the school uniform and adjust to the new city and culture.

Secondly, I would like to thank the hard-working teachers. During the past few years of studying, teachers have always been with me and given us care and support. They not only taught me academic knowledge, but also taught me principles of life and wisdom in dealing with the world.
