Whether to accept or not, the Education Bureau has the final say.
The enrollment of public high schools in Canada is usually managed by the Education Bureau, and schools do not have much autonomy. The application process of public high schools in Canada is not complicated. Freshmen usually enter school in autumn. Although the deadline for application is May, the places in the best middle schools will soon be full, so the earlier you apply, the better. When applying, you need to provide the transcripts of the last two years and list all the subjects you have studied (including politics, sports, etc. ). One copy of Chinese and one copy of English need the seal of the school. You can fill in three favorite schools when applying. But if there are no places in these schools, the Education Bureau will designate other schools for you.
In principle, students can apply for public schools themselves, but each school has different characteristics. If the applicant doesn't know anything about the school to which the Education Bureau belongs, letting the Education Bureau designate a school may not necessarily lead to the most suitable prestigious school for him. Besides, it is not easy for applicants to find reliable guardians and suitable host families in China and Canada. Therefore, when applying, you can entrust some reliable intermediaries to act as agents.
After examining the application, the Education Bureau will issue a formal admission notice. Applicants can apply for a student visa at the Canadian Consulate in China. After reporting to the Education Bureau, they will have a test to find out the students' English and math level. Students who are not proficient in English need to make up their English for a while while studying other courses.
International students under 18 need a guardian to study in Canada. The guardian must be a Canadian citizen who lives near the school. Parents of students must provide notarized guardian's power of attorney. The guardian must also be notarized and bear relevant legal responsibilities. You need to find a host family near the school after entering school. It is best to be a native English family and create a good English environment.
