I can't speak to any of that I can only speak on my experience in NB. I didn't speak to a specific school a spoke with the school district that places international students and that was the requirement given. Again, I can't speak for Canada at large but I can say in NB she needs it to be enrolled in grade1. So still my best advise is to contact the school district and find out what they acturally required and not what we say they should be required.
Letter from the school district below.
Good afternoon,
Thank you for contacting the International Welcome Centre. I can certainly help you with understanding the registration process.
In order to gain acceptance into the ASD-E students must have a study permit. One of the requirements to get a study permit is a
Tentative Letter of Acceptance into the school district. In order to produce this letter we would need:
- The student’s name (as written in their passport)
- The student’s date of birth (day / month / year)
- The student’s parent’s full names (as written in their passports)
- Their home address
- The student’s passport number
- The student’s gender: Male or Female
- Date of arrival and intended academic year of study
- The local custodian’s name and address (if applicable)
This letter is sent to the student’s home address directly from the school district superintendent. A copy will also be sent to the local custodian (if applicable). There is a fee for this letter. Please see text below and here is the link on the school district website for direct payment--

Student Application Fee – International Student Fee-Paying ** The application fee is NON-REFUNDABLE**
An APPLICATION FEE of $250CDN must be paid
prior to the issuance of a Tentative Letter of Acceptance. This fee is made payable to the Minister of Finance in Canadian currency online by credit card. The
Tentative Letter of Acceptance will be issued once the application fee has been paid.

The application fee of $250CDN can be sent by certified cheque or money order made payable to the Minister of Finance.
The student will then apply for a study permit. After they have received their study permit from the Canadian embassy (here is the link on the IRCC website --

After the student has arrived in Moncton please call our office to make an appointment at the IWC for registration.
- Registration will take about one hour with a parent/ custodian and the student’s intake assessments (Literacy and Numeracy) will take about the same.
- After registration and assessments the students are placed in their catchment school based on their place of residence.
- Students are placed in school at grade level age appropriately. That is to say in the academic year 2019-2020, a student with a date of birth in the year 2003 would be age appropriate for grade 11.
A reminder that the custodianship declaration form must be notarized in Canada and in the student’s home country.
ASD-E reserves the right to place students in another district school should grade level capacity issues arise.
