LaSalle College Admissions

Main Intakes at LaSalle College Canada

LaSalle College Canada spreads its starts across three main intakes that give Indian students plenty of chances to jump in without waiting forever. Fall kicks off in August or September, pulling in the largest crowd for almost all diploma and bachelor's programs like fashion design, graphic design, interior design, video game development, and hotel management – campuses in Montreal and Vancouver light up then with the most spots and some entrance awards up to CAD 5,000 for strong portfolios. 

Winter follows in January, covering 70-80% of the lineup, especially popular for creative and business diplomas that wrap quickly for those eyeing post-grad work permits. 

Summer hits in May, the smallest but still solid for select programs in animation, marketing, and culinary arts, ideal for students wrapping Indian boards or degrees in April and wanting just a short break. 

Overseas Education Consultants in Toronto's Brampton scene, Vancouver's Surrey pockets, and Montreal's growing Indian networks often nudge LaSalle as a low-stress option for creative types with 60-70% marks who missed bigger uni deadlines.

How Admission at LaSalle College Canada Actually Works

The setup is agent-simple and fast, applications fly through the LaSalle online portal (no central system like OUAC), with decisions landing in 2-4 weeks for full packages, though internationals should budget 6 months total for CAQ and study permit layers. Here's the routine counsellors run through:

Undergraduate/Diploma entry: High school completion with 60% minimum (Class 12 CBSE/ISC/state boards fine), IELTS 6.0 overall (5.5 each band), PTE 44+, TOEFL iBT 61, or Duolingo 95. 

Portfolios required for design, arts, fashion, media programs (10-15 pieces with descriptions); math basics needed for game design or tech diplomas.

Bachelor's entry: Same high school base plus sometimes one year of college or equivalent; English scores identical, with creative programs wanting prior samples.

Standard document checklist:

• Class 10 and 12 mark sheets + certificates
• Passport copy (valid 6+ months past program end)
• English proficiency score report
• Portfolio (digital upload for creative fields)
• Proof of funds (CAD 20,000+ for first year, bank statements or sponsor letters)
• Personal statement (200-300 words on program fit)
• One reference (teacher or employer)
• IQAS or WES credential evaluation (for non-Canadian docs, course-by-course)

Deadlines: Rolling, but aim 6 months early – e.g., April 1 for September, October 1 for January, February 1 for May; late apps slide if seats open.

Interviews: Common for creative programs (15-20 min Zoom on portfolio), skipped for business or hospitality.

No app fee in most cases, but CAD 3,000-5,000 deposit hits after acceptance (credited to tuition, refundable only on IRCC refusal proof). LOA follows in 2-3 days for SDS visa fast-track, keeping Indian refusal rates under 7% with a clean 6.0 IELTS and GIC. 

That's why sub-Overseas Education Consultants in Punjab's Jalandhar and Gujarat's Ahmedabad stock LaSalle for portfolio-heavy profiles that dodge the academic grind of UBC or Seneca but still snag Canada's PGWP edge.
