Apply

Whether you are applying for the OIN Exchange Program, the Short-Term Study Program, or the Study in India Program, your application must be submitted to the International Office of your home university in Ontario. Please note that each International Office sets their own university-specific application deadlines. You should check your university’s website for those dates.

That office will decide which applicant it wishes to nominate for participation in the specific program in question. Those applications will then be forwarded to the OIN Program Office in Toronto, which will determine the final list of participants. The OIN Office cannot accept applications directly from students.

Each of the OIN programs has its own specific OIN application form and requirements for supporting documentation. Please make sure that your application uses the correct form(s) and includes all the required additional material. We require a transcript, and, depending on which program you are applying to, you may need to arrange for letters of recommendation from your professors, so we recommend that you start early on the process. You will also need to do some careful research on the Jiangsu universities in order to write a convincing application.

You must also check what further application materials may be required by your home university’s International Office.
