University of Ottawa for Nigerian students
Ottawa, Canada
The largest catalogue open to us in Canada, 400 courses, in the federal capital. Ottawa is officially bilingual and the university teaches in both English and French, which matters if you want French without needing it to get in. Living costs sit below Toronto and Vancouver without being remote.
We can apply to University of Ottawa for you, free to your family.
We prepare and submit the application, check your documents and follow up with the university. You pay us nothing; the university pays us when a student enrols. We never promise admission or a visa.

Worth knowing before you apply
The top of the fee range is medicine and specialist health programmes, which are far harder to enter and far more expensive than the rest. Judge the fee by the course.
A UK application needs your passport, WAEC or NECO with the scratch-card result, or your transcript and certificate for a master's, two references on letterhead, a personal statement, and proof that you can fund the course. Start with the references and the bank statements; they take longest. The visa application itself is your family's own, prepared with our checklist.
How Pathways is paid, and what we never promise
Placement is free to families. Universities pay SchoolRegistry a fee when a student we place enrols. It never changes your fee and it never changes which programme we recommend: the shortlist is ordered by fit, then refusal risk, then cost to you, and that rule is printed with every list. We do not promise admission or a visa, to anyone. Pathways is operated by Academic Support Services NG Ltd (RC 9416237), Ikeja, Lagos; write to pathway@schoolregistry.ng.

When are the intakes at University of Ottawa?
The intakes currently open to us are January 2027, May 2027, September 2027. UK applications usually need to be in several months ahead, so the practical question is which intake you can still reach, not which one you want.
Can SchoolRegistry Pathways apply to University of Ottawa for me?
Yes. University of Ottawa is one of the universities we place students into directly. We prepare and submit the application, check your documents and follow up with the university. Your family pays us nothing; the university pays us when a student enrols. We do not promise admission or a visa.
What does it cost my family to use SchoolRegistry Pathways?
Nothing. Universities pay us a recruitment fee when a student we place enrols, and it never changes which course we recommend. What you pay goes to third parties: tuition, an English test if you need one, the visa fee and the funds the Home Office asks you to show.

Where these figures come from
Course counts, fees and intakes read from our partner application platform on 5 October 2026, and converted at the live exchange rate shown above. Universities change fees at least once a year and catalogue entries can lag an intake behind, so the university's own page is the authority: University of Ottawa fees and funding. Tell us if you find a figure here that has moved.
