Capilano University

Applying to Capilano University (capilanou.ca) as a Nepali student follows the same basic path as most B.C. institutions, but a few details are worth knowing before you start. Applications go through the university’s own online portal, and you’ll need certified copies of your academic transcripts, proof of English proficiency, and a statement of purpose ready before you submit.

CapU reviews applications on a rolling basis rather than a single hard cutoff, which means earlier applicants generally get earlier decisions and first pick of housing and course sections. Once you submit a complete file, the university typically acknowledges receipt within about 48 hours and issues a decision within a few weeks — the exact timeline depends on the program and how busy the intake is.

Admission requirements vary by credential level: bachelor’s degree programs generally ask for a minimum of 60% in grades 10 and 12 plus an overall IELTS band of 6.0, while diploma, certificate, and graduate certificate programs have their own thresholds (see the eligibility tables on the main Capilano University page). If your grades or English scores fall just short, it’s worth speaking with an advisor about pathway or bridging options before assuming you don’t qualify.

Once admitted, international students work with CapU’s international education team to sort out study permit documentation, orientation, and housing — a process that’s much smoother if you start gathering documents well ahead of your intended intake.
