A note about health insurance
International students are not covered under the Ontario health system and must purchase insurance coverage individually. This is mandatory and already included in the tuition fee.
Paying in non-Canadian funds
It is easier and quicker for us if you pay your fees in Canadian funds. However, if paying in non-Canadian funds, please ask your bank to convert to Canadian or US funds. Because of the fluctuating nature of the dollar, we are unable to provide exact equivalents in currency other than Canadian.
Paying your fees
Cambrian College offers two unique options for all payments made outside of Canada. The easiest and quickest method is via Flywire. Founded by a former international student, Flywire’s mission is to save money for international students and their families that would otherwise be lost on bank fees and unfavorable foreign exchange rates. The second payment option is via bank wire with a transfer to TD Canada Trust.
