Anyone doing OSSD online as an international student?
I'm from Asia and want to get a proper Canadian high school diploma without moving. Heard about OSSD being accepted by universities worldwide, but is it doable fully online? How does it compare to just finishing local high school and applying directly? Anyone with experience?

I've been looking into this too for my niece. From what I've seen, yes, it's realistic if you pick a legit Ontario-accredited private school. The OSSD is the real Ontario diploma, so universities in Canada, US, UK treat it the same as any local one. Online format means flexible pacing, teacher support via live or recorded sessions, and you can focus only on needed credits to speed things up (some finish in 2-3 years). No need to relocate, which saves a ton. Check out Toronto Imperial School – they have details on their full program, options for international students, and how it works remotely: https://torontoimperial.com/ Seems straightforward application too. Just verify the school is Ministry-approved to avoid issues later. Worth exploring if you're aiming for Canadian uni pathways.
