Congratulations again on receiving an offer of admission to McMaster University! We can’t wait to see you this Fall.

We’re here to guide you through the next steps you need to take to confirm your spot at McMaster.

1. Accept your McMaster offer on the Ontario Universities’ Application Centre (OUAC) website.
2. Pay the admissions deposit ($2,000 CAD) and download your Provincial Attestation Letter (if applicable) from your Mosaic Student Centre account.
   • Not sure if you need a Provincial Attestation Letter? Complete the McMaster PAL Tool to determine if you need a Provincial Attestation Letter.
3. Upon receiving your Provincial Attestation Letter from McMaster, you can then proceed to apply for your study permit through the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) website. Be sure to check the IRCC website to verify the required documents for your study permit application.
   • For questions about the study permit application process, please reach out to immigration@mcmaster.ca

For all other questions, please reach out to international@mcmaster.ca

If your study permit was not accepted for processing, you can submit a new study permit application with the same PAL (if it is still valid). For more information, please visit the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) web page.

If your application was accepted for processing but it was refused, you must get a new PAL before you reapply. For more information, please visit the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) web page.
