IMPORTANT NOTE

The CRS has observed in previous years that many applicants from the Global South have been denied visas to attend the CRS summer course (visa acceptance rates have been extremely low). As an organization committed to engaging collaboratively with individuals and organizations form around the world, this is a constant disappointment. As in past years, we provide a discounted online option for those who cannot join us in person.

For those planning on attending in person and who require a letter of invitation, we will issue visa support letters to each applicant after they have paid a non-refundable deposit of CAD$200 at this secure site. The purpose of the deposit is to defray the costs associated with processing applications and visa support letters and to demonstrate to the visa processing authorities each applicant’s commitment to the course.

If an applicant is not able to attend the course, their deposit will be used to fund bursaries for other applicants. The deposit funds will be set against your tuition, whether you end up attending in person or online. For applicants who make a deposit but are refused a visa and decline to attend virtually, deposit funds will be used to support bursaries for other online or in-person attendees from the Global South.

We recognize that tuition and the deposit may be a barrier for some applicants. We urge each applicant to examine their own financial circumstances before making a deposit. Not only can we not guarantee that each applicant will be granted a visa, we know that many people from the Global South who wish to attend will not be granted a visa. If your financial circumstances, make an application in these circumstances difficult, we urge you to take advantage of the online option. No deposits are required for the online option.
