Do you qualify for CESB with Prep Doctors?

In 2017, Prep Doctors was recognized by the Government of Canada as a certified educational institution. More recently, our institution was listed alongside private institutions allowing qualifying students to receive the Canada Emergency Student Benefit (CESB).

– You completed or expect to complete high school, or received, or expect to receive your high school equivalency in 2020, and have applied for a post-secondary educational program that starts before February 1, 2021
