Confirmation of Enrolment

International Confirmation of Enrolment (ICOE) letters are designed to provide IRCC with the information that they will require in order to process various applications such as study permits (including extensions) and co-op work permits. ICOE letters may also be used as proof of enrolment for students needing to travel to Canada and who do not have a valid Letter of Acceptance to use.

The information on an ICOE letter includes:

• Your name and address as it is entered in your BCIT student account
• Your program of study
• Your current academic status (full-time or part-time)
• The start and anticipated end date of your current program

Note that ICOE letters are only available to students who are enrolled at BCIT during the current term. Students who have registered for future courses may apply for an International Confirmation of Future Registration letter instead.
