University Canada West is now accepting requests for Provincial Attestation Letters (PAL).
Prospective on-campus undergraduate students with an offer letter will receive the link and instructions to request a PAL along with their LOA, after their deposit is paid. Both documents are required to apply for a study permit.
Please note that prospective students of the Master of Business Administration program (MBA), including those taking MBA Foundation (MBAF) and/or University Access Program (UAP) will not require a PAL. The admission process for our graduate program students in the MBA program is unchanged.
The PAL system adds just one more step to the admissions process for undergraduate students and UCW is confident that the PAL system will be efficiently integrated into our admissions pipeline.
University Canada West commends the BC government for taking a balanced approach to implementing federal changes to the international student visa program, accounting for the unique environment in our province. We look forward to continuing to offer quality education and meaningful experiences for our students.
Below is an FAQ about PALs that should answer many of your questions. We look forward to continuing to welcome new undergraduate students to UCW.
