Step 1: Know your deadlines.

Before applying, or even deciding what you want to study, there are important deadlines you should know throughout the application process. These dates vary depending on your educational background and the location of your school and, in some cases, the program(s) you're applying to.

In the dropdown menu, select your educational background and mark your calendar to help you remember these dates.

It is in the interest of all applicants to complete their files as quickly as possible. When program space is limited, preference may be given to applicants who have provided all required supporting documents earlier on. Should a program reach its capacity prior to the deadline for submission of documents, incomplete applications may be cancelled.
