Financial Support

VOCATIONAL PROGRAMS

Our college provides competitive fees for all programs. We also support our students to add in their skillset by attending our non-vocational programs such as phlebotomy workshop, clinical research, and intramuscular injection.

For Students who would like to apply for financial support for vocational programs, we do have following option.

Better Jobs Ontario Program: For vocational program such as Medical Office Assistant (Diploma) and Personal Support Worker (Certificate) programs, you can apply for Better Jobs Ontario. This program is available if you have been laid-off. Students who were laid-off on March 1, 2020 or later and who are opting for programs of 1 year or less in duration are being prioritized this year. Both our programs meet these requirements. We look forward to chat with you on this at (416) 233-7869. Apply here.

Payment Plan: Financing your studies with Gratify can help you cover the costs of tuition and pay for other school expenses. Please contact administrator to apply for the financing. Apply here.

SKILLS WORKSHOPS

For students who would like to apply for financial support for workshops (non-vocational programs like phlebotomy workshop), we have following tax credit.

In the fiscal year of 2020, the Federal Government streamlined the education tax credits and created a new tax credit called the “Canada Training Credit“. This credit provides you up to $250 back to you, i.e., 50% of tuition fees (if the program fee is $500). This tax credit is available if you are between the ages of 26 to 65 years of age. For eligibility, please have a look at the link provided above. We work hard to provide all our workshop students with T2202A to claim these tax credits in the following tax year. In 2024, the cumulative tax credit will be $1,000 for fees paid up to $2,000 (~50%). 

Payment Plan (paying before the end of program): The college administrator can set-up a Payment Plan via PayPal in case you would like to register and pay for the program before the end date of the program. Apply here.

Payment Plan (paying after the end of program): The college administrator can set-up a Payment Plan via Gratify in case you would like to register and pay for the program after the end date of the program. Flexible payment plan up to 12 weeks after the start date are available. Apply here.

In case you do not qualify for any of the above opportunities, we can also connect with you with our partner financial institutions who can help you access student loans with great term conditions. Some of these loans also work as efficiently as Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) given our competitive fees (~ 30% to 40% lower than other colleges in our area). We also support our students with flexible payment schedule so the fees are not a barrier in starting the program.
