Application Process
It is free to apply! To be considered for Explore funding, please follow these three easy steps:
- Apply online at englishfrench.ca. Be sure to list our school as your first or only choice when applying to increase your chance of being awarded a spot in our program.
- Follow the application instructions on the Explore website and submit any required documents, including the signed Declaration Form, to the Explore portal.
Western Students: Explore will accept a copy of your Statement of Account from Student Center as proof of enrollment in lieu of getting the Declaration Form stamped by the Office of the Registrar. Students are still required to sign the bottom of the Declaration Form - under Conditions for participation - and submit it to the Explore portal. - Wait for the draw results. If you have been awarded a spot in our program, you will be notified by both your provincial coordinator and by the French Immersion School. You might be put on a waiting list but, don't despair! There are additional draws every week until all spots are awarded.
