That's because you posted in this forum and I thought you got your Immigrant status through FSW. You should post your message in the International students one.

The cut off is Dec31.

 

[Live life]

The cut off is Dec31.

So for eg criteria for grade 6 admission would be that child should be 11 years by Dec 31 of that academic year. Am I right?


My child will turn 11 in September. Will he be eligible for Grade 6 in the session starting Aug 17? Thanks

The cut off is Dec31.

 

[Live life]

My child turns 11 on Sep 14 this year. Which grade can he enter in session starting Aug/Sep?

 

[Live life]

does it mean that the age is considered as of dec 31 of that academic session (Aug - June)?

Sir/s,

That is exactly why I have chosen to write this post -- it doesn't matter which grade or how many yrs. my kids study in my homeland/elsewhere -- in Canada they'd be taken-in as per their age on date of admission... and those "age date margins" I've mentioned against each grade in "brackets". See the examples below...

EXAMPLES:

On the date when I'm seeking admission into a school here...
a) If my child is 10yrs-08months -- he'd go to Grade-5 [a class for ages 10-11].
b) If s/he is 7yrs-03months -- goes to Grade-2 [a class for ages 7-8].
c) If the child is 15yrs-11months -- s/he will join Grade-10 [a class for ages 15-16].

Hope u get the point.

Ps.: In many cases our kids will be "losing" 1yr. Mine did [both kids], but what the heck? Education system is much better here.

The cut off is Dec31.

does it mean that the age is considered as of dec 31 of that academic session (Aug - June)?

I have the same question.

According to The Newcomer's Guide for Elementary Education in Ontario above (page 19), the grade placement is as follows:

Typical Grade Placement
Grade placement is usually determined by a child’s age, and not by the grade they completed in their country of origin. Grade placement may be different with newcomer students to ensure greater academic success.

Below is the typical age and grade placement, from January 1 of that school year:

• JK and SK: 4- and 5-year olds
• Grade 1: 6-year-old children (with students turning 7 years old from January 1 of that school year)
• Grade 2: 7-year-old children (with students turning 8 years old from January 1 of that school year)
• Grade 3: 8-year-old children (with students turning 9 years old from January 1 of that school year)
• Grade 4: 9-year-old children (with students turning 10 years old from January 1 of that school year)
• Grade 5: 10-year-old children (with students turning 11 years old from January 1 of that school year)
• Grade 6: 11-year-old children (with students turning 12 years old from January 1 of that school year)

-------------------

@qorax's post above, children will be taken in as per their age on date of admission.

Let's say my child's birthday is 10-Oct-2010 (she turns 7 this year), which grade can she enter if she is admitted:
1) before her birthday (at 6 yrs old)
2) after her birthday (at 7 yrs old)

Hi all,
I am aiming to move to Ontario and I was reading about how immunisation records are mandatory requirement for getting your child admission in canadian schools. Now my eldest kid (9 year old) is immunised till 3 years of age but I lost the record document of immunisation. Now is this document necessary for admission and if yes then what will be required document in lieu of immunisation records.

Anyone has any information about gifted school concept. My friend settled in Canada last year and now his children are going to Gifted school....does it mean that they are going to private school. Would appreciate if anyone helps?
