There are three application rounds, with two open to all applicants and the third open only to Canadian citizens, permanent residents of Canada and Americans.
You must submit a completed application, including all three references, by the deadline. Only complete applications will be reviewed by the admissions committee. Applications for January 2023 are now closed. The application portal will reopen on January 1, 2023 for studies beginning in January 2024. Those deadlines are:
Round 1 application deadline: March 30, 2023 | Admission decision on May 4, 2022
Round 2 application deadline: June 30, 2023 | Admission decision on August 4, 2022
Round 3 application deadline for Canadian citizens, permanent residents of Canada and US Citizens only: August 30, 2023 | Admission decision October 4, 2023
We highly recommend international students apply by the round one deadline on March 30, 2023.
This ensures plenty of time to apply for and receive your study permit, and it also gives you more time to plan for your move to Canada. To learn more about the benefits of applying early, we encourage you to watch this video.
