🎓 Carlton Trail College – Saskatchewan, Canada

Public College in Saskatchewan, Canada · Updated October 09, 2026

1. Introduction

Carlton Trail College is a regional public college in Saskatchewan that participates in the Saskatchewan Colleges international admissions portal. Its small class sizes and community-focused training are well-suited for those seeking career paths in smaller urban centers.

2. Location and Campus

International offerings are currently concentrated in Humboldt. The college serves various other communities as well; please ensure you select the correct campus specified for your international program.

3. Programs of Study

An option appearing on the 2027–2028 international list is the Continuing Care Assistant (CCA), a one-year certificate program in Humboldt for the Fall 2027 intake. The curriculum focuses on providing support in long-term care, home care, and related environments, and includes clinical/practicum components. The college's domestic program catalog is broader than its international offerings.

4. Admission Requirements

You must provide a high school diploma equivalent to Grade 12 and meet the current English language requirements for the program. For the CCA program, inquire about clinical requirements such as criminal record checks, immunizations, and safety certifications. Do not assume that language standards from another institution automatically apply to Carlton Trail.

5. Tuition and Fees

The college’s CCA program page displays domestic tuition rates; do not use these figures for international budgeting. International applicants must request a breakdown of tuition, books, insurance, and mandatory fees for Fall 2027 through Saskatchewan Colleges. The system's international application fee is currently 150 CAD; this is not tuition.

A price of 0 CAD and the “Request Consultation” option on KeyApply are for submitting inquiries and do not represent the college’s tuition. Living expenses, books, insurance, and other costs must be calculated separately if they are not included in the fee schedule.

6. Scholarships and Financial Aid

Ask the admissions department about awards/bursaries available to international students for your selected program. Do not include unconfirmed financial aid in your mandatory budget.

7. Intakes and Current Admissions

The currently published list includes the Fall 2027 intake in Humboldt. Saskatchewan Colleges opened the 2027–2028 portal on October 01, 2026; check program availability before applying, and do not assume a spot is open simply because a program appears on the list.

8. DLI and PGWP

Before submitting your application, verify the exact name of the institution, campus, and program on the IRCC DLI list. Designated Learning Institution (DLI) status does not guarantee that every program is eligible for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP). Verify the program code and current PGWP eligibility requirements based on your personal profile.

9. Application Steps

1. Confirm the program is open to international students, along with the campus and intended intake.
2. Prepare your passport, diplomas, transcripts, language proficiency scores, and any program-specific documentation.
3. Apply via the college's official channel or an authorized recruitment partner.
4. Carefully read your offer letter, including tuition, deposit, and refund policies, before making any payments.
5. Verify requirements for your LOA, PAL/TAL (if applicable), study permit, and financial planning according to current regulations.
6. Arrange housing, insurance, and your arrival schedule at the campus once all necessary procedures are complete.
