International Students
A Diverse and Inclusive Community
The winter 2024 application is open. Explore the over 50 undergraduate programs open for winter 2024, and apply directly to Laurier to begin your studies in January.
Application forms for Spring and Fall 2024 are also open. Choose from more than 80 undergraduate programs, and then apply to Laurier online using the Ontario Universities' Application Centre (OUAC).
Join us for a virtual information session to learn more about the various programs offered at Wilfrid Laurier University, tailored specifically to international students.
We are offering virtual information sessions on undergraduate and graduate programs. Check the session description to see if it's about an undergraduate or graduate program.
In these sessions, you will learn more about the program details and highlights, how to apply, get admission and tuition details, hear directly from faculty members, and ask your questions in a Q&A session.
Why attend a virtual event?
Getting a university education is an investment in your future. We want to invest in you also. We take financial health seriously and equip students with sound financial knowledge and resources.
There are many funding opportunities available for tuition and expenses in your first year of university and after. Work-study programs, on-campus jobs and co-op placements provide financial support throughout university and ensure you graduate with relevant work experience.
Choose from more than 80 undergraduate programs. This is considered your major area of study. If you want to dive deeper into your major, choose a concentration or specialization.
Visit our Undergraduate Admissions section for detailed information on the application process and completing your admissions requirements. You are also encouraged to connect with our international-admissions-officers who are available to help you with the application process and understand your admission requirements. Email international@wlu.ca with your questions.

Once you've accepted your offer, our friendly, inclusive Laurier community will be ready to welcome you and help you with getting ready for your move to Canada.
You’re curious, creative and driven. You think about the future and what you need to do to succeed. That’s why every aspect of your student experience at Laurier helps you to build a meaningful career.
Graduate with practical, hands-on experience that sets you apart, and support to find your next steps. Laurier students and alumni have lifetime access to Career Centre services.
Residence provides that extra care and support to help you feel at home, where live-in staff and upper-year students are committed to your personal growth and safety.
It’s more than a place to eat and sleep – you’ll meet people who share your commitment to making the most of their university experience and form lifelong friendships. With mixed-gender housing options, and multiple residence styles to choose from that prioritize your safety and security, we have the perfect place for you to call home.
We guarantee residence* to all undergraduate students attending a postsecondary institution for the first time. To be eligible for the residence guarantee, your application needed to be received, including your non-refundable $600 deposit, by June 3, 2024 at 11:59 p.m.
Rooms are assigned based on preference and availability. You can request to live with a friend; otherwise, we’ll do our best to pair you with a roommate who has habits similar to yours.
*While Laurier endeavours to honour its residence guarantee, the University will not be liable for any failure or delay in providing residential accommodation when such failure arises out of any cause or causes beyond its reasonable control. Learn more about our Residence Guarantee.
