Next Steps to Receiving your Provincial Attestation Letter and Letter of Acceptance
- Accept your offer by the acceptance deadline on OUAC (or in your SOLUS Student Centre if you are a CommonApp applicant).
- Pay the non-refundable $2500 CDN deposit by the acceptance deadline in your SOLUS Student Centre. Make sure to save your receipt showing payment. You will need it for Step 3.
- Complete the Provincial Attestation Letter Form. Completing this form will help determine if you require a Provincial Attestation Letter or only a Letter of Acceptance for Study Permit Purposes. You must upload a receipt showing the $2500 CDN deposit payment to allow Queen’s to request your Provincial Attestation Letter and to release your Letter of Acceptance.
Once you've accepted your offer, paid your $2500 CDN deposit and completed the Provincial Attestation Letter Form, Queen’s University will request your Provincial Attestation Letter from the Province of Ontario if required. Once your Provincial Attestation Letter is available, the university will send you an email to the email address you used on your application, providing you a PDF copy of your Provincial Attestation Letter (if required) and your Letter of Acceptance, required for your Study Permit application.
