Currency Exchange
If you transfer funds into a Canadian bank account, your money will automatically be exchanged into the Canadian dollar. The rates you are charged when you make bank fund transfers are the best on the market, generally. Note that any Canadian bank will not buy any currency that is not displayed on the market.
Fund Transfers
The safest way to transfer funds is via bank transfers. To do this, you must open a bank account when you arrive in Canada. Your country may impose some bank transfer restrictions. Please inquire with your financial institution.
Due to possible delays in processing the transaction, be sure to have at hand a sufficient amount of money (cash or traveler’s cheques) to cover two months’ worth of expenses. If, however, this amount exceeds $10,000, you must declare the amount at Canadian customs.
Paying Tuition Via Bank Transfer
You can pay your tuition fees via a bank transfer. All information related to the payment of your tuition fees are sent to you with your registration. It’s important to note that a bank transfer can take up to four weeks to process.
Cancellation Policy
To cover costs related to admissions and semester planning, LaSalle College Vancouver must charge penalty fees for any departure prior to the date of the last semester stipulated in the admissions contract. In the event where Canadian authorities refuse to render a student permit (visa), these penalty fees will be lifted.
Should you decide to leave the College permanently, you must advise the College in the form of a letter, signed and dated, stipulating the reason for your departure or contract cancellation. The date of the reception of this letter will determine the official departure date. Please note, not showing up in class does not represent a formal notification of departure.
Work and Study
Students with a valid study permit in Canada may gain work experience by working off-campus while completing their studies. However, you must meet certain criteria set by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC).
Please also keep in mind, your main goal here is to study, so your focus should be on your school, not your work. If you are considering working part-time during your study, you must make sure to maintain solid academic standing. There are also regulations set by CIC on how many hours you can work per week. Please make sure you are aware of all the rules and regulations.
