International Student Admissions
Studying abroad is an enriching and exciting adventure for students and their families. Becoming a student at Crawford Adventist Academy (CAA) provides youth with many opportunities to reach their potential in mind, body, and spirit. International students graduating from our school program enjoy academic success, growing arts and sports competencies, and increased self-awareness and independence.

International students immerse themselves in a new culture and build confidence, master unparalleled academic programming, enjoy enduring friendships, and receive the gift of independence – in a supportive community atmosphere – that enables them to develop into unique and competent individuals.

Documents for International Students
International students planning to attend a school in Canada must complete Canadian governmental documents during the application process. The student should apply for a student permit before enrolling at a Canadian school. International high school students are also required to have an adult guardian living in Canada. 

Student Visas/Study Permits
It is required that all international students obtain a Student Visa. Please note that a Study Permit application can take up to four months to complete and process. Some exceptions apply depending on country of origin and intended length of stay in Canada. Information regarding study permits can be found by visiting the Canadian Immigration webpage at: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/study.asp.

Guardianship
The Canadian Embassy/Consulate requires international high school students (studying in Canada) to provide contact information for someone who will act as an adult guardian. The guardian must live in Canada. Often the guardian is a family friend or relative. In the event international families do not have someone who will act as the student’s guardian, there are a number of professional services and organizations that can assist families in this process.

Health and Medical Insurance
International students must make arrangements for health and medical coverage while attending school in Canada. Students who hold Canadian citizenship, Official Landed Immigrant Status or Permanent Residency Status should apply for Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) coverage International students who do not have OHIP coverage, must provide documentation showing they have medical coverage through their parents, or may purchase the “International Student Medical Plan” offered by an insurance company. Our Admissions Office can assist you with this process.
