About Wilfrid Laurier International College
Wilfrid Laurier International College is a pathway college located on the Brantford campus of Wilfrid Laurier University, operated in partnership with Navitas, a global education provider, and designed to prepare international students for direct progression into Laurier's undergraduate degree programs.
WLIC's University Transfer Program (UTP) is a suite of academic courses, study-skills development, and personal support that leads students directly into second-year studies at Wilfrid Laurier University upon successful completion. As a pathway college, WLIC does not hold a separate world ranking of its own — students who complete the program graduate with a full degree from Wilfrid Laurier University, which holds a QS World University Rankings by Subject position in the #551–600 band (2026). Laurier itself is a mid-sized, comprehensive public university with more than 20,000 students spread across its Waterloo, Brantford, and Milton campuses, known for strong programs in business, music, social sciences, and the arts.
Why Choose Wilfrid Laurier International College?
WLIC's biggest advantage is accessibility combined with a genuine pathway to a full Canadian degree — it evaluates applicants on academic potential, not just top grades, and offers multiple entry points depending on a student's academic and English proficiency level. Smaller class sizes and dedicated academic support make the transition into Canadian university life far less overwhelming.
Other reasons Bangladeshi students choose WLIC:
- Flexible entry points: UTP Stage I, UTP Stage II, or English for Academic Purposes (EAP), depending on academic readiness
- Conditional offers available for students still completing English requirements or final transcripts
- Smaller, close-knit classes with dedicated academic advising and peer mentor support
- Direct progression into second-year studies at Wilfrid Laurier University upon successful completion
- Assistance with accommodation, travel, medical coverage, and a comprehensive orientation program
- Brantford's affordable cost of living compared to larger Canadian cities like Toronto or Vancouver
Popular Programs
WLIC's University Transfer Program leads into five faculties and schools at Wilfrid Laurier University. Only pathways WLIC actually offers are listed below.
Admission Requirements for Bangladeshi Students
Applicants generally need secondary school transcripts with passable academic grades and proof of English proficiency, with placement into UTP Stage I, UTP Stage II, or EAP depending on their academic and language readiness.
WLIC takes an inclusive approach to admissions, considering academic potential rather than requiring top grades alone, with acceptance rates typically estimated between 70% and 85% for international applicants. Students who don't yet meet English requirements may still receive a conditional offer while completing their language preparation. Since exact entry criteria and English test score thresholds vary by pathway and intake, it's best to confirm current requirements directly with WLIC or through CSB Study Abroad's admission requirements guide.

WLIC offers eligible international students up to CAD $20,000 in combined scholarships across their academic career, including an automatic entrance scholarship plus several merit-based in-course awards presented each semester.

- WLIC Entrance Scholarship — worth CAD $5,000, applied exclusively to WLIC tuition fees, and counted toward a student's overall $20,000 career scholarship maximum
