I Am an Indigenous Applicant

During the university application process, you can declare that you have Indigenous ancestry or heritage in Canada:

  • First Nation (status or non-status),
  • Inuit or
  • Métis

Declaring your Indigenous ancestry allows the universities to contact you with information about supports and resources for Indigenous students.

Ontario’s universities recognize the need to encourage Indigenous students to participate in postsecondary education, and many offer Indigenous students an additional or alternative pathway for admission to an undergraduate or graduate program.
