1. Introduction to the College
Lakeland College is a public college in Alberta that offers programs for international students. The institution provides training focused on practical skills and career preparation. When choosing a program, it is essential to review the list of programs open to international students rather than relying on the entire course catalog.
2. Location and Learning Environment
The two main campuses are located in Vermilion and Lloydminster, Alberta. Business programs are held in Lloydminster; many agriculture, environmental, and design programs have their own specialized facilities in Vermilion. Please confirm the campus for your chosen program, housing costs, and transportation options for internships. The poster uses real photos of the Lloydminster campus from the college website.
3. Academic Programs
Groups with international options on the college’s list include agriculture, environment, business, select human services programs, the in-person Health Care Aide program, and Interior Design Technology. For example, the Accounting Technician certificate and Business Administration diploma are available in Lloydminster. The international admissions list has exceptions; online business/human services programs and many apprenticeship or specialized industry programs do not accept international students. It is necessary to verify each program and mode of study.
4. Admission Requirements
Academic and English requirements vary by program. For example, the Accounting Technician program requires a high school diploma, a minimum of 50% in English 30-1/30-2 and Math 30-1/30-2 or their equivalents as assessed by the college, along with evidence of meeting English Language Proficiency standards. Vietnamese course grades cannot be automatically converted to the Alberta system. Please prepare your transcripts, diploma, and language proficiency documents according to the instructions for international applicants.
5. International Tuition
An example provided by the college for the Accounting Technician certificate for the 2026–2027 academic year: international tuition and program fees are 16,100 CAD; mandatory fees are 1,200 CAD; books, supplies, and field trips are estimated at 1,400 CAD. These figures apply to a one-year program and do not represent the general tuition for all programs; housing, living, and transportation costs are separate. For other programs and the 2027–2028 academic year, please consult the college's latest fee schedule before budgeting.
6. Scholarships and Financial Aid
The college maintains a platform for awards and bursaries. The international website introduces a Humanitarian Bursary for cases meeting criteria related to financial hardship due to political instability or natural disasters. Students should review the specific criteria, application process, and deadlines for each award; do not assume scholarships are automatic entitlements or commitments to tuition waivers.
7. Intakes and Enrollment Status
There are Fall intake options and some Winter intake programs; not all programs recruit for the same terms. According to the college calendar, Fall 2027 applications open on the first Wednesday of October 2026, which is October 7, 2026. Standard international deadlines: June 1 for the September intake and October 1 for the January intake. Therefore, the standard deadline for Winter 2027 has passed as of the update on October 9, 2026; please contact the college if your program has exceptions. Programs may reach capacity before the deadline.
8. DLI and PGWP
DLI: O18777577472, recognized by IRCC as a public institution in Alberta. Lakeland marks programs eligible for the PGWP on their international list; do not assume this applies to all business programs, online courses, or programs that are not marked. Verify the specific program, campus, CIP code, and IRCC regulations at the time of your study permit application; graduates must also meet individual eligibility requirements when applying for a PGWP. Admission does not guarantee employment or permanent residency.
9. Application Process
Select your program/campus from the international list → confirm availability, deadlines, and PGWP eligibility → check academic, English, and tuition requirements → prepare documents → follow the international application instructions and ApplyAlberta → pay required fees → submit documents and monitor email → fulfill offer letter/deposit requirements → prepare for study permit and provincial documents if applicable → arrange housing and enrollment. The college guidelines require selecting one program when applying; please consult with an enrollment specialist if you are undecided.
