ADMISSIONS PROCESS
If you do not have documents attested prior to arriving in Qatar, the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs has a procedure to send the documents that require attestation to Global Affairs Canada in Ottawa then to their Embassy in Ottawa. However, this takes time. Therefore, we recommend that Canadians who arrive in Qatar without having documents attested express mail them to an authentication agency in Ottawa for a faster service.

You should complete your registration through our online registration system. Note: Applicants who do not proceed to the next step due unavailability of seats in the desired grade will be added to a wait list. They will be contacted to schedule a meeting if a seat becomes available.
