The CSC Nouvelon will make every effort to place you in a neighbourhood school that is located as close as possible to the home of your guardian or custodian. However, please be aware that it is not always possible to enroll a student in the neighbourhood school. In such case, the CSC Nouvelon reserves the right to determine which school the student will attend.
International students can choose to live with a Canada Homestay Network host family. Homestay is the principal partner of the Conseil scolaire catholique Nouvelon.
Yes, you can make your own lodging arrangements for the duration of the program. However, your host family will need to meet the following conditions:
International students may remain in an educational program until they reach 19 years of age. Students may apply for admission to their chosen program for either a year (10 school months) or a term (5 months). Student wishing to continue their studies in one of our programs must apply for the following year and renew their study permit.
Study permits are issued by Citizenship and Immigration Canada and by Canadian embassies and consulates throughout the world. The initial application for a study permit must be made outside Canada (usually in the student’s home country). The residence visa only allows students to enroll in a program that lasts 6 months or less. For more information, click here.

International students must apply for health insurance with our official provider, Sun Life Financial. For more information, click here.
Students should plan to arrive between one and two weeks prior to the start of classes to settle in with their host family, adapt to jet lag and get organized. They also need to check with the Welcome Office to see if an orientation session (a useful asset) will be held prior to the start of courses.
Yes. Parents are welcome to visit their children during their studies in Sudbury. We do recommend that parents wait a few months to enable their child to adapt to the new environment and routine. Visiting family members must make their own lodging arrangements.
As a rule, international secondary school students are not authorized to work for pay or to volunteer during their study stay in Canada. However, some students enrolled in post-secondary programs can apply for a work permit.
Yes, as long as the student’s passport and study permit are valid and have not expired during the absence from Canada.
