Students from other countries are welcome to enrol at the Pacific Coast University for Workplace Health Sciences (PCU-WHS) and undertake study towards a degree or other credential online.

International applicants must meet all University admission requirements and follow the same steps as domestic students for application to PCU-WHS.

In addition, you are required to provide a certified evaluation of the equivalency of your credentials in Canada.

All applicants, domestic or international, must provide evidence of English proficiency. Learn more about English proficiency requirements.

Transcripts that are not in English must be translated by the issuing institution or a certified translator. Exception: Canadian transcripts in French do not require translation.

Study Permits

Since PCU-WHS programs and courses can be completed entirely online through the Internet, international students can study from their home country and do not need to travel to Canada.

PCU-WHS is not currently listed as a Designate Learning Institute on the Government of Canada website; international students will not be able to apply for a study permit based on acceptance at PCU-WHS.

A study permit is not required if an international student plans to take a course or program in Canada that lasts six months or less. The course or program must be completed within the period authorized for the stay in Canada.

PCU-WHS international students are not required to physically attend the University campus and will not need a Canadian study permit.
