Important: *Portage College’s current international-program page states a $5,000 tuition deposit to secure a place; some individual program pages may still show older deposit wording, so applicants should reconfirm the amount before payment. Tuition, fees, English-language requirements, intakes, admission criteria and PGWP eligibility can change. Open Studies and University Studies Diploma are currently identified by Portage College as not PGWP eligible. The CIOT Calgary partnership is discontinued for new international enrolments and is not included in this page.
