How to Get a Canada College Application Fee Waiver
A simple step-by-step path from claim form to offer, PAL and visa
How the Fee Waiver Actually Works
If you are an Indian student planning to study in Canada, the application fee for each college normally costs money — typically CAD 100–250 per application. Under this campaign, that institution application fee is waived when Future Link Consultants submits your application during the offer period, which runs from 4 August 2026 to 30 September 2026. You never pay the institution's application fee directly.
The campaign is a recruitment arrangement between 19 participating institutions and Future Link Consultants (a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant, licence R506940). You can apply free to up to 3 institutions under one waiver for the September 2026 or January 2027 intake. The steps below show exactly how to claim it.
The 5 Steps From Claim to Visa
| Step | What happens | What you do |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Claim the waiver | You submit the short claim form on the campaign page before 30 September 2026 | Fill your name, marks and preferred intake |
| 2. Free counselling | A counsellor reviews your profile and shortlists PGWP-eligible programmes | Share your 12th or degree marks and IELTS/PTE status |
| 3. We apply (up to 3) | Future Link files up to 3 applications with the institution fee waived | Approve your programme choices and SOP |
| 4. Offer and PAL | The institution assesses you and, if admitted, issues an offer; you then get PAL guidance | Accept the offer and pay the tuition deposit |
| 5. Study permit | You prepare and submit your study permit with GIC and funds proof | Complete biometrics and visa documents |
PAL = Provincial Attestation Letter, mandatory for most 2026 study permits, and it comes AFTER you accept an offer.

The waiver covers the institution application fee only. Tuition, the tuition deposit, GIC, biometrics, the study-permit fee and any third-party charges are separate and payable as normal. Admission is decided by each institution against its published academic and English requirements — applying free never weakens your application, and no outcome is guaranteed.
