Fleming College

This guide is for Nepali students who want to study in Canada from Nepal and are applying to Fleming College in Peterborough, Ontario. It covers the acceptance rate, the grades and English scores you need, the documents to prepare in Nepal and each step from application to study permit. For campuses, fees and scholarships, see our Fleming College profile, and for programs, intakes and PGWP status, our Fleming programs guide.

What is Fleming College’s acceptance rate?

Fleming College doesn’t publish an acceptance rate. Percentages quoted on other websites are outside estimates, not official numbers.

What decides an offer is meeting your program’s admission and English requirements while seats are still open. Fleming says a program may show as unavailable or closed in the portal because it is full, or because many applications are still waiting to be processed. It processes your application only after it has all your information and the fee.

What grades do you need from Nepal?

Fleming publishes no separate rule for Nepal, so each program sets its own requirements, written in Ontario school terms.

Fleming’s how to apply page says academic requirements are on each program’s page. Those pages use terms such as “OSSD” (the Ontario high school diploma) and “Gr 12 C Math”, so ask Fleming how your +2 subjects match. Examples from Fleming’s program pages:

• Practical Nursing (diploma): Grade 12 English and Math, and two different Grade 11 or 12 sciences, with at least 65% in each required course.
• Electrical Engineering Technician (diploma): Grade 12 English and Math, with at least 60% in Math.
• Business (diploma): Grade 12 English and Grade 11 Math.
• Digital Marketing (graduate certificate): a college diploma, advanced diploma, degree or equivalent.
• Health Care Management – Canadian Context (graduate certificate): a diploma or degree in a health or health science field.

Fleming may ask for WES or a similar check of your documents, so keep your originals ready. To see where your +2 grades stand, convert your NEB GPA to a percentage with our NEB GPA calculator.

What English scores does Fleming College accept?

Fleming asks for IELTS Academic 6.0 with no band under 5.5 for diplomas and certificates, and 6.5 with no band under 6.0 for graduate certificates.

CAEL, MET, Cambridge and Oxford ELLT scores are also accepted, on Fleming’s English requirements page. That page shows TOEFL scores in a new format from 2026, and older scores of 80 and 88, so check with Fleming if your report looks different.

If your score is short, Fleming’s English as a Second Language Bridge at Sutherland Campus has 8 levels of 8 weeks each. You need 70% in Level 8 for a diploma or certificate, and 80% for a graduate certificate. To compare scores across Canadian institutions, see our IELTS and PTE guide for Canada.

Which documents do you need from Nepal?

You upload scanned, certified or notarized transcripts and your English score to the Ontario Colleges international portal.

• For diplomas and certificates, scanned original, certified or notarized secondary school graduation transcripts. Our guide explains how to get transcripts in Nepal from NEB, TU and other boards.
• For graduate certificates, scanned original, certified or notarized university or college transcripts.
• Your IELTS, PTE, TOEFL or Duolingo score report.
• A valid passport for the application and your study permit. If you don’t have one yet, see getting a Nepali passport for study abroad.

Any document not in English needs a translation by an official notary or an approved educational source. Nepali certificates and bank documents often carry Bikram Sambat dates; our Nepali date converter helps you match them to the A.D. dates on your forms.

How do you apply to Fleming College, step by step?

You apply on the Ontario Colleges international portal and pay a CAD 100 fee, then accept your offer and pay your full first-semester fees.

1. Choose your program and check it’s open on Fleming’s Ontario Colleges page, then read the program page’s admission requirements. Fleming’s estimated deadline for Nepal is about 10 weeks before the intake.
2. Apply online. Use the international application, not the domestic site, and pay the CAD 100 fee. After you pay, go back and click submit, or Fleming won’t receive your application.
3. Get your offer. You get an email, and the offer appears in the portal. Accepting one offer cancels any other Fleming offers.
4. Accept and pay. Pay the full first-semester fees by the date in your offer, or you lose your seat. Your receipt appears in the portal about 7 to 10 business days later. To send tuition from a Nepali bank you need a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Ministry of Education; see how to apply for an NOC in Nepal.
5. Get your Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL). If you’re approved, Fleming contacts you and you download the PAL from the portal. Fleming’s FAQ page says it won’t issue a second PAL to the same student after a visa denial. Read what a PAL is and who needs one.
6. Apply for your study permit with your letter of acceptance, PAL, payment receipt and proof of funds. Add a statement of purpose explaining your study plan; see our SOP guide for a Canada student visa. Fleming says required placements no longer need a separate co-op work permit, but your study permit must state that you can work in Canada.

Fleming doesn’t publish a fixed decision time, so check your email and portal regularly. Its goal is an offer within 5 to 10 business days of a complete application, but this can vary. Apply 9 to 12 months before your start date so there is time for the offer, the PAL and your study permit. For the visa stage, read our guides to Canada student visa requirements and proof of funds.

If a study permit is refused, our guide to Canada student visa refusal explains what to do next. Goreto’s counselors in Kathmandu, Lalitpur, Chitwan, Itahari and Pokhara can check your file before you apply; contact your nearest Goreto branch.
