Dates and deadlines

Applications open at the beginning of October for the following academic year. Check the tables below for application deadlines. We recommend you apply to your program of choice at least six months before the term start.

Application deadlines

Important: Completed applications are processed on a first come, first served basis. Many programs fill before their application deadline; contact us to confirm there are open seats in your program before paying your application fee.

Starting your application as early as possible will also allow you to apply for and receive your study permit from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) as soon as possible to ensure you're able to arrive in Canada before your program begins.

We also encourage you to review the Government of Canada's estimated processing time for study permits.
