International Student Consent Form
Notice of Collection of Personal Information and
Consent
(Ontario Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills
Development
)
International students seeking a study permit to attend a postsecondary learning institution in Ontario must attend a
postsecondary institution designated by Ontario for the purposes of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations
(Canada). This is often referred to as the International Student Program (“ISP”).
Under the ISP, private postsecondary institutions are designated by Ontario on an annual basis. As a result, private
postsecondary institutions that wish to remain designated apply for designation annually.
At the time that you are asked to read and sign this document, you are (1) applying to be enrolled in an institution that is
applying for designation for the first time, (2) applying to be enrolled in a designated institution, or (3) enrolled in a
designated institution. If you are enrolled in an institution that is currently designated, the institution may be applying for
further designation annually.
When reviewing an institution’s application for designation under the ISP, the Ministry of Advanced Education and
Skills Development (the “Ministry”) conducts a site assessment to verify the information provided in the institution’s
application with respect to its educational policies and procedures. The Ministry may also monitor institutions that are
designated to determine whether those institutions are complying with the terms and conditions of designation.
As part of the site assessment and the Ministry’s ongoing monitoring of designated institutions, the Ministry reviews a
representative sample of student and prospective student records, such as student and prospective student contracts,
registration forms, records of enrollment, documents pertaining to academic assessment and progress, and other
documents contained in the student or prospective student file. The Ministry also may need to make copies of student and
prospecti
ve student records in or
der to complete its review of the institution’s (1) application for designation or (2) ongoing
compliance with the terms and conditions of designation.
Your consent is requested to allow the Ministry to access the personal information you have provided to the institution that
may be contained in your student records. Without your consent, the Ministry cannot access your records as may be
required in order to assess the institution’s application for designation or ongoing compliance with designation conditions.
The Ministry collects and uses this information under the authority of ss. 38(2) and 39(1)(a) of the Freedom of Information
and Protection of Privacy Act and the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (Canada) and its Regulations. Questions
about the collection, use and disclosure of this information may be addressed to:
