Choose by curriculum

Match a Capilano program to Nepal study and career plans

Program availability and requirements differ by credential and campus.

Capilano offers programs in arts and sciences, business, communication, education, health, legal studies, tourism, film, animation, design and performing arts. International applicants should record the credential, program length, start term, campus, course sequence and any practicum, portfolio, audition or competitive selection requirement.

Map Nepal Grade 12 subjects and results to the program prerequisites. Transfer or post-baccalaureate applicants must disclose all previous post-secondary study and follow the correct academic route. Transfer credit, advanced standing and admission to a limited-enrolment program are separate decisions.

Explain how specific courses add new knowledge and connect to a realistic Nepal or regional career. Film, tourism, business and creative programs have different equipment, placement and scheduling demands. Do not select a credential only because of a possible work permit or immigration pathway.

Follow Capilano application English and document rules

General admission and program-specific requirements must both be met.

Apply through Capilano’s stated route for the chosen intake and pay the reviewed CAD 135 non-refundable international application fee. Deadlines and supporting-document dates vary, and programs can close when capacity is reached. Use passport-consistent identity details and retain every receipt.

Capilano publishes accepted English tests and education routes. Its current page reflects changed TOEFL scoring for tests taken after January 21 2026, so applicants must match the test version and intake. Most programs historically use IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band below 6.0, but pathway and selected program standards differ; verify the live requirement.

Arrange official secondary and post-secondary transcripts, translations and any program supplements. A waiver request is discretionary and must be supported. A Nepal medium-of-instruction letter should not be assumed sufficient unless it meets a published route and Capilano confirms acceptance.

Calculate 2026–2027 tuition surcharges and deposit

Specialized courses may cost more than the standard rate.

For 2026–2027 Capilano publishes a standard international tuition rate of CAD 724.24 per credit. Multiply the applicable rate by the planned credits, then add tuition surcharges, consumable costs and mandatory fees. Film, acting, tourism and other specialized courses can have additional per-credit or course charges.

New international students are generally required to pay a one-time CAD 5,000 deposit that is applied to international tuition after registration. Read the offer deadline, deferral rules and refund policy before paying. The official page describes a full refund route for a study-permit denial when classes are dropped before the term and required evidence is supplied, subject to fraud exclusions and current conditions.

Add Metro Vancouver housing, food, transit, insurance, books, equipment, production materials, airfare from Nepal and an emergency reserve. A tuition reduction or award is conditional and should not enter the budget until confirmed in writing. Do not rely on uncertain part-time work for core tuition.

Check Capilano DLI program PGWP and study evidence

Institution-level eligibility is not a personal guarantee.

IRCC lists Capilano University as public DLI O19280078102 in North Vancouver and Sechelt. The current table shows no graduate-program indicator and a Yes PGWP-program indicator. Confirm the campus in the offer and whether the chosen credential is one of the eligible programs.

Associate degrees, diplomas, certificates and post-baccalaureate credentials can face different current PGWP rules, including field-of-study conditions where applicable. Verify the exact program, duration, delivery and full-time structure and save dated evidence. A university name alone is insufficient.

Prepare the genuine letter of acceptance, provincial attestation evidence where required, current proof of funds and a truthful study-purpose explanation. MKS Education can compare Capilano programs, review Nepal records, calculate costs and organise the permit file; only Capilano and Canadian authorities decide outcomes.

Decision record

Keep a dated evidence file before submission

A search result or counselling note can become outdated between shortlisting and application. Create one folder containing the official pages relied on, the date each page was checked, written answers from the institution, the final fee and refund terms, and the exact application files submitted.

When a policy changes, compare the new instruction with the student’s application date, credential, institution, campus and personal status before deciding what applies. Do not silently replace an old document or reinterpret a rule from a headline. If the effect is uncertain, pause payment or submission and obtain clarification from the responsible authority or a properly authorised professional.

This evidence trail also improves counselling quality. The student and family can see which facts are confirmed, which are estimates and which remain conditional. MKS Education uses this approach to support transparent education planning while leaving admission and immigration decisions with the relevant institutions and Canadian authorities.
