*Note for potential Transport Canada certification programs applicants (Marine Engineering, Nautical Science, Bridge Watch and Marine Diesel Mechanics):
Transport Canada Certification
Students in our Transport Canada certification programs will be required to write a Transport Canada exam to be certified to work at sea. However, Transport Canada only certifies Canadian citizens and permanent residents. International students completing these programs at the Marine Institute will receive the Marine Institute credentials (i.e. Diploma of technology and Technical Certificate), but will have to write the certification examinations in their countries. Prior to applying to these programs, students should check with the maritime/transportation authority in their countries (equivalent to Transport Canada in Canada) regarding the certification process and to ensure our training is acceptable to them.
Work Term for Transport Canada Certification programs:
Students are responsible for seeking their own placements with some assistance from the Office of Career Integrated Learning (OCIL) at MI. International students may have difficulty obtaining a work placement in Canada, in which case, students may be required to find work term placements in their home countries. These work terms must be approved by OCIL.
*NOTE: We are not able to evaluate supporting documents or credentials before an application is submitted.
Technical Certificate, Diploma, Advanced Diploma and Post-Graduate Certificate Programs:
Deadline: Apply as early as possible, March 1 for international students (*Applications received after this date will be assessed as resources and space allow.)
All supporting documents (official transcripts and official test results) must be sent by the issuing or testing institution(s) DIRECTLY to the institute at one of the addresses below. *DUE TO COVID-19, we are currently accepting electronic documents sent from institution emails.
