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

Courses at the University of Ottawa are given in English, French, or both languages. Therefore, you must master one of the two languages to be admitted.

If you’re applying for an English-language program and have not completed at least three years of full-time study in an institution where English is the only language of instruction (except for language courses), in a country where English is an official language, you must submit your official score after taking one of the language tests recognized by the University.

However, students from India can receive an exemption if they have completed the CBSE or CISCE senior English subject with a final grade of 75% (Indian grading scale). If you are currently attending secondary school, you can submit interim grades (for example, pre-board exam results).
