International students who are studying in Ontario with a study permit under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (Canada) are eligible for the allotted OGS international student awards. However, they are ineligible for QEII-GSST awards. For ministry purposes, institutions should ensure the requirement that the student have a valid study permit is satisfied before award funding is issued to the student. However, institutions have discretion to develop more stringent criteria on when the study permit should be provided.
• Students entering the first or second year of graduate studies at the time of the application deadline must have achieved a first-class average, as determined by the host institution, in each of the last two completed years of study (full-time equivalent). Students entering the third year or beyond of graduate studies at the time of the application deadline must have an overall average of at least A- (or equivalent) on all graduate courses completed.

• If master‡s or doctoral degree marks used for calculating an applicant‡s grade point average (GPA) are not available (e.g., courses were graded on a pass-fail basis), then the university‡s Graduate Studies Office will use the most recently available undergraduate or graduate marks to calculate a student‡s GPA.
