What you need to apply
General country requirements
This entry is general Bachelor’s admission in Canada: the university is in the catalogue but its individual programme pages are not verified yet, so the country's general requirements are shown instead.
Check the university’s own page before you plan around it.
Canada, bachelor’s
A Canadian application has two stages: first the university or college for a letter of acceptance, then IRCC for the study permit. The permit needs the letter of acceptance, a provincial attestation letter (PAL or TAL), a passport and proof of funds — CAD 23,448 for living costs outside Quebec for applications from 1 September 2026. Universities usually ask for IELTS 6.5 or TOEFL 86. Many accept an 11-year attestat; some ask for an extra year or a college pathway.
With an Uzbek attestat (11 years)
Straight into the first year
Many Canadian universities accept an 11-year attestat, so direct entry is often possible. Some ask instead for a completed year at an Uzbek university or a college pathway.
Documents
School certificate
Not checked yetThe school-leaving certificate with its grade supplement, in certified English or French translation.
Academic transcript
Not checked yetThe year-by-year record; Canadian admissions read subject grades, not only the average.

Financial statement
For applications made on or after 1 September 2026 a single student outside Quebec must show CAD 23,448 for living costs, on top of tuition and travel. Six months of bank statements or a Canadian guaranteed investment certificate are the usual evidence; Quebec sets its own figure.

Minimum grades and years of school

Canadian provinces finish secondary school after twelve years, so an 11-year attestat is assessed case by case: many universities accept it, others ask for a completed year of university or a college pathway.
4 on the Uzbek 5-point scale
An indicative attestat average for a competitive offer. Each university sets its own admission average.

Other requirements

Check if needed: it applies to stays over six months and to certain countries of residence.
Police certificate, where the visa office asks for one
Listed as “check if needed”; some visa offices add country-specific documents as well.
