We are moving with our family to Canada and have 3 children. Two of them go to secondary school and the third one to the elementary school. I have read somewhere that if you want to apply for admission to an elementary or secondary school in canada you have to contact the appropriate provincial ministry of education. Is this true? We cannot apply at the school itself?? Anyone experiences?
Fist of all are you coming as a refugee? What is your status in Canada?
If you are applying as a refugee here in Toronto you can find a school (secondary or elementary school) and show proof of status for you and your children, you should not have any problems in enrolling your children in a public or if you are catholic in a catholic school as long as you show proof, for catholic schools you need to present a letter of baptism.
I don't know about other cities but I supposed is the same.
I think that the information you got is incorrect, where did you read that?
