Applying with an Agent

Your educational agent should assist you in completing your application to Seneca Polytechnic through the International Student Web Application Form. After they submit your application, we will be able to send communications to your agent and give them access to check the progress of your application.

Agents can support your application process; however, admission to Seneca and Canadian study permit approval cannot be guaranteed by them.

Selecting an agent

These are a few recommendations when selecting your educational agent:

  • Confirm that your representative is a registered agent with Seneca Polytechnic.
  • Ensure that you have direct access to email communications from Seneca at all times.
  • Discuss the services your agent will provide, including whether they will assist you with your study permit.
  • Document the cost of each service in writing.
  • Retain original documents such as passports, academic transcripts and records.
  • Pay all tuition fees directly to 'Seneca Polytechnic'.
