First Nations, Métis and Inuit Applicants
Indigenous Canadian students who are applying to U of T Engineering are encouraged to self-identify on the Ontario Universities Applicant Centre application and the Online Student Profile.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at indigenous@engineering.utoronto.ca.
Complete Your Online Student Profile
After you submit your OUAC application, we’ll send you information about the creation of your JOINid at uoft.me/enable. Once your JOINid is activated, you may proceed to the Engineering Applicant Portal where you will complete the mandatory Online Student Profile. If you do not complete your Profile, your application will not be considered. The Online Student Profile is your opportunity to help us better understand you as a person and your strengths outside of the classroom. The Online Student Profile consists of the following sections:
- engineering program selection;
- educational timeline;
- academic profile;
- extracurricular involvement; and
- personal profile
