Refund Policy

Refund Policy for International Students

(An International Student is a person who is not a Canadian Citizen or a landed immigrant or who has been determined under the Immigration Act to be a Convention Refugee.)

When an International Student enters into a contract with Victoria International Academy, the following refund policy applies:

Visa Related Withdrawals:

1- VIA will retain the lesser of 25% of tuition or $200 for students:

A: who are denied Study Permit authorization from Canada Immigration, or

B: do not receive authorization prior to the start of the program of study.

Withdrawals Before the Program Starts:

2- A: If VIA receives written notice of withdrawal more than 30 days before the program starts

VIA will retain the lesser of 25% of tuition or $400.

B: If VIA receives written notice of withdrawal less than 30 days before the program starts,

VIA will retain 40% of tuition.

Withdrawals After the Program Starts:

3- A: If VIA receives written notice of withdrawal within 10% of the program VIA will retain 50% of tuition.

B: If VIA receives written notice after 10% of the program there are no refunds.

4 - There are no refunds if a student is dismissed under VIA’s Policies Regarding Student Behaviour.

I have read Victoria International Academy’s policies on admissions, rules of conduct, dispute resolution, dismissal and refund policy.

NOTE: 1: VIA is not recognized by PCTIA and is not bound by their policies.

2: On occasion, students may be taught by TESL student’s doing their practicum.

3: Refunds usually take 30 days to process.
