Historical note: intake-timing advice below reflects 2022 processing delays.An applicant held a Lambton College LOA (Project Management, January intake) while still waiting on two other colleges for September. What the thread established:
- Visa processing may not finish before a near-term intake. A member with the same LOA was told by their consultant that a September start was unrealistic and the January intake was the safer plan.
- Know each college's deferral policy before paying fees - members noted Lambton did not offer deferral at the time, so the intake you pay for is the intake you're committing to.
- Initial applications usually accept marksheets; official transcripts can follow. Confirm with the college if their document list says transcripts.
- Admission cutoffs are institution-specific - roughly 60% for PGD and 65% for master's programs was the norm cited, and each college sets its own study-gap and grade rules.
