I just want to make sure that you are clear that “College” in Canada is generally not the same thing as “Community College” in the U.S. In general colleges in Canada are 2 year diploma granting institutions that tend to focus on applied and vocational studies. There are exceptions and a few will have transfer agreements with 4 year Universities like many do in the U.S., and some offer 4 year applied degrees but this is not the norm.

Having said that if Langara College is what you are looking for, they should have information on their website for international students or you can contact their admissions department directly and they should be able to point you in the right direction with regards to getting a student visa. Financial aid is a whole other story and I think you should be prepared to find that there is not much available for international students. There maybe bursaries available at the school but you would have to investigate. I am doubtful that you would qualify for any provincial assistance.

Good-luck
