• Verification of date of arrival, if your child was not born in Canada. Families who are permanent residents and refugee claimants may register directly at the school. Students, who are living in the community without immigration status, are entitled to admission to school as per the Students Without Legal Immigration Status Policy (P061) and the Admission Eligibility Requirements Procedure (PR518). Information about them or their families will not be shared with immigration authorities.  Students without immigration status must provide paperwork to show name, date of birth, home address, country of origin and arrival date in Canada. Verification documents can include a passport, birth certificate and/or expired immigration documents.  An affidavit or signed letter of confirmation from a person of recognized standing in the Toronto community (e.g., family doctor, community shelter director, faith leader, etc.) may also be used to support verification. Schools can register these students directly, however may refer them to the International Students and Admissions Office at 5050 Yonge Street (main floor) should required verification documents not be available.
