For the September start date, all applications received before February 1 will be considered equally. Applications will still be accepted after February 1, but they will be evaluated on a first-come, first-served basis. Applications for open programs will be accepted until the start of classes.

For the January start date, if you are applying from outside Canada, you will have to allow enough time for your admission to be processed and to obtain your student visa from the Canadian Embassy or Consulate in your country. This process can take up to four months in some countries. Applications for open programs will be accepted until the start of classes.
