2. You may need a PAL or TAL
This is something many prospective students do not discover until they are already deep into the application process.
Depending on your situation and the type of program you’re entering, you may need a Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL) or Territorial Attestation Letter (TAL).
There are exemptions, including for certain categories of students, so don’t assume that every international student needs one.
Your school or the relevant province/territory can provide information about how this can apply to your situation.
