The funding options are available for international students but are limited. So make sure you have a good financial plan before you start your course. You will also have to prove to Canadian immigration authorities that your financial resources are sufficient to support yourself in order to get a study permit.

But it should be noted that the competition is high as the other applicants may be those who might be holding that specifically required degree.

Don't worry the university still allows you to apply and submit a portfolio for admission. An offer letter will then be sent, which will state the requirement of submitting ELP test results.
