Thinking about studying Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) or Acupuncture in Canada? It’s a big step, and we want to make the process as clear as possible. CCATCM welcomes students from around the world. Here’s what you need to know about joining our acupuncture and TCM programs as an international student.
Canada is known for being a safe and welcoming country for international students. Our main campus is located in Halifax, Nova Scotia, which offers a friendly community atmosphere with the energy of a port city—an ideal place to study and live.
More specifically, CCATCM is set up to support international students:
This is important. The Canadian government officially recognizes CCATCM as a Designated Learning Institution (DLI). Once you’re accepted into our program, you can use our acceptance letter to apply for a Canadian study permit. Our DLI Number is O19305393392. (Note: Please verify this number with CCATCM administration if possible, as it wasn’t explicitly in the provided text but is standard for DLIs.)
Our acupuncture and TCM programs emphasize hands-on learning from the start. You’ll spend significant time in our student clinic, working with real patients under expert supervision. You graduate with practical experience, ready for your career.
Moving to a new country can be challenging. CCATCM has a diverse student body and staff who understand. We maintain an open-door policy, offering help with everything from understanding course material to navigating life in Canada.
Our Bedford campus overlooks the water, offering a calm environment conducive to study. It’s close to shops, parks, and is easily accessible by public transport, making daily life convenient for students.
We also offer a Holistic Nutrition Counsellor Diploma. Check program details to see which path fits you best for your studies in Canada.

Navigating the Canadian study permit process is crucial for international students.
You must be accepted into a CCATCM program before you can apply for a Canadian study permit.
Once accepted, CCATCM will issue the official Letter of Acceptance (LOA). This document is essential for your study permit application.
You apply for your study permit directly through Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), the official Canadian government body. We strongly recommend visiting the official IRCC website for the most accurate and up-to-date information on requirements, processing times, and application procedures for your specific country.
Visa processing times can vary significantly depending on your country of residence. After receiving your Letter of Acceptance from CCATCM, start your study permit application process as early as possible.
We know applying from abroad involves extra steps. Our admissions team is here to guide you through the CCATCM application process for international students.
We can answer questions about our acupuncture and TCM programs, the application documents, and what to expect as an international student here. For specific visa questions, the IRCC website or a registered Canadian immigration consultant is your best resource.
