The deadline for program application is 5 weeks before the start date of the program. The ELC recommends submitting the application earlier than this for 2 reasons:
The deadline for applying for Homestay is 5 weeks before the start date of the program. Please note: the Homestay deadline for the September 12-week program is July 1. The Homestay office will accept late applications but does not guarantee that they will be able to find a suitable host family for late applicants.
Registration for a program is usually completed within 24 hours of receiving a student’s application by mail, fax or online.
Electronically (fax or email) and by mail.
Agents should never collect homestay fees for the 12 week programs, only the CAD$250 application fee as the student will pay the host family directly.
The cost of accommodation is included in the total cost of the program, so agents should collect the complete fee and submit this to UVic. In these cases, UVic will pay the host families or the dormitories.
Commissions are paid by bank wire or cheque, depending on the agent’s preference.
Agents are not required to send the ELC an invoice for commission payments. Commissions are paid at the end of each session.

Yes. If your agency registers a student for any program at the ELC, you will receive commission payments for that program plus any other additional ELC programs that the student registers for once they are in Victoria.
Students whose fees are not paid in full are not permitted to attend class and will be advised that we have not received payment from their agent. It is the agent’s responsibility to ensure that full fees are received by the ELC 5 weeks before the start date of the program.
