George Brown Polytechnic is located on the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and other Indigenous peoples who have lived here over time. We are grateful to share this land as treaty people who learn, work and live in the community with each other.

We prioritize complete applications that include all documents required to make an admission decision. Please review the admissions requirements by country to ensure all documents are submitted and your application is complete.
We receive far more applications than spaces available. As a result, we process international applications on a selective basis. This means that on a program-by-program basis, we may establish processing priorities based on academic quality of applicants, program capacity, and institutional diversity goals. Ensuring diversity within the international student population is a key priority of George Brown Polytechnic. We are committed to balancing our international student body so that a wide range of regions and countries are represented. This is essential to ensuring that both our domestic and international students have a truly global experience, reflecting the many and varied viewpoints that international students bring to the classroom.
We do not have the capacity to admit all applicants who meet the minimum general and program-specific requirements. Please note that programs can close early if international enrollment for the program is already achieved and there is no more capacity. Submission of an application does not guarantee an offer of a place in a program.
George Brown assesses admissibility to your first program choice. Your 2nd program choice will only be assessed if you are not eligible for admission to your first choice.
