Democratic Republic of Congo

Located in the heart of Canada’s capital, the University of Ottawa offers the best of both worlds: students can live and study in French or English and still have the opportunity to become fully bilingual.

If you are an applicant originally from Democratic Republic of Congo currently studying in a Canadian institution, please select your current or last school system for information specific to your profile. 

If you are currently in your sixth year of secondary school and you meet the following conditions, we can consider you for admission to undergraduate studies. You must:
