Canstudy will then send the student the retainer agreement and information to pay the necessary fees. Please note if the student is under the age of 18, the agreement must be signed by a parent or legal guardian.

After signed retainer agreement and confirmation of payment (or payment arrangement) has been received, the student officially becomes a client of Canstudy.

Step 3: College/University Application Submission

Canstudy will present client with a list of institutions and programs that match their goals, budget, career choice and desired environment.

If the client will be accompanied by their partner and/or children, assistance is also provided with their applications. It is at this point in the process that the client would need to purchase a Spousal or Accompanying Dependent Package. (here)
