It is a requirement anywhere in Canada. That said, if you don't have it ~ you don't have it. And no school here can deny your kids' admission.

Thanks for your information. Quite helpful. However, I have a question.
I should be moving from Nigeria to Ottawa around January 2019. I intend coming with a dependant that will be 20 years old in July 2019. She will be in SS2 (Grade 11 equivalent) by then. I have read that cut-off age for secondary schools in Canada is 18 years meaning she will be above the bar then. How do we go about her finishing her secondary education and afterwards proceed to the University?

Looking forward to your swift response.

Thanks and regards.

The most informative topic I have seen so far. Thanks for shedding light for that particular and essential topic.

I still have the question about the native language.

My kid is 6 years old and we will be moving to Canada 6 months later. Thus, she will be catching next school year. She barely speaks English and yet understands mostly, since she has another native language. What would we expect at that situatuon? Should she priorly take english course or she is welcome with her level?

Don't worry. The school would place her in EAL program where there would school assistants helping your child improve her spoken and written English.

Hello all great post here and many questions. I read through it all, but wanted to ask since the original post is from 2011:

My son's birthday is Oct 2010. In US, he goes to 2nd grade because Aug 31st is the age cutoff for a grade. We are moving to Toronto ON in a couple of months. Will they expect him to join 3rd grade right now and 4th grade in September?
