When students apply to the NSISP they are required to provide a copy of their transcripts and also to let the NSISP know if any special courses are required during their stay. Piror to arriving in Nova Scotia, students will receive a letter with the name and address of the school they will be attending.

Students are placed in a school based on their application form and also on where their host family resides. Many students will be bussed to school; however, some will live within walking distance.

All schools have extracurricular activities for international students to join. Students are strongly encouraged to join clubs, sports teams, bands, or other activities. This is an ideal way for a student to make Canadian friends and get invloved. Students participating in the NSISP are expected to attend classes, achieve academically, and respect the rules of the schools. A report and/or transcript will be provided at the end of your stay.
