Sheridan College
Written by Chet Raj BhandariAbout Sheridan College
Applying to Sheridan College as a Nepalese student follows the same general path as most Ontario colleges, but the timing matters more than most applicants expect — strong programs like the Bachelor of Craft and Design or the business diplomas at the Pilon School of Business can fill up well before the official deadline. Sheridan runs three intakes a year (September, January and May), and applications are reviewed on a rolling basis through its international admissions portal.
To apply, students submit an online application along with academic transcripts, proof of English proficiency (IELTS, TOEFL or PTE), a statement of purpose and, for some programs, a letter of recommendation or portfolio. Sheridan typically acknowledges applications within 48 hours and issues most decisions within about 5 to 6 weeks, though creative programs that require a portfolio or audition can take longer.
Once an offer is issued, students who accept pay a deposit to confirm their seat, then use the Letter of Acceptance to apply for a Canadian study permit. Because visa processing and pre-departure planning both take time, it’s best to have a complete application in well ahead of the intake you’re targeting rather than right at the deadline.
For help building a timeline and putting together a complete application, Nepalese students can work with Goreto’s education counsellors, who guide applicants through document preparation, program selection and visa filing for Sheridan and other Canadian institutions.
