  • Because CLC Ottawa is a non-profit registered charity, we are able to keep your tuition much lower than a comparable commercial course.

    And we have a special deal for you. Bring one or more friends or colleagues to the course, and have them name you at the bottom of their registration as the person who invited them to the course. At the end of week 4, we will give each of you a refund of 25% of your tuition (before any PayPal fees).

  • Please tell whoever will be paying for your course (employer or other person) to visit http://clcottawa.com and click the button to gift a course. 

  • Please mail your cheque to CLC Ottawa, M110 – 1554 Carling Ave, Ottawa, ON, K1Z 7M4. With your cheque please include a note with the name of the course and the name of the student, to help our treasurer connect payments to registrations.  

  • Please use your bank's online banking app or web site TODAY to make your Interac E-transfer to secure.payment@clcottawa.com. Please include in the notes area the name of the course and the name of the student, to help our treasurer connect payments to registrations. As soon as you confirm the transfer, your tuition will be moved from your account to ours with no need for a security question. 

     

  • Your registration is not confirmed until we receive your payment.

  • When you have paid at the PayPal site, be sure to click to Return to Merchant (this may happen automatically). Then when you are back at this CLC Ottawa form, please click Submit Regisration once more to submit your paid registration form. If you do not do this, you will be charged by PayPal but neither you nor CLC Ottawa will receive confirmation of your registration, and you will not be added to our list of registered students.

  • Your Tuition Fee Receipt for Canadian income tax purposes will be provided during class.

    You are entitled to deduct your tuition fees from your income if you paid your tuition, or if it was paid by another person as a gift. You can transfer a tuition deduction to your (or your spouse's) parent or grandparent.

    You cannot deduct tuition paid by an employer, but your employer can claim it as a business expense.

    This is our understanding of current rules. Check with your tax advisor or Canada Revenue Agency to be sure.
