When to apply to Canadian Universities


Universities
Application deadlines depend on the program and school. Deadlines start as early as September.

Colleges
In general, you will need to apply before February 1, if you want to start school in September. The admission process can take up to 9 months, so it’s a good idea to get an application in early.

What you need to apply
In most cases, you will need to gather these documents before you apply:

Transcripts
Original or certified copies of your high school diploma/record and any postsecondary education records, including courses you took and grades you achieved.

Proof of language skill
Acceptable test results from a certified language test that measures your skill in reading, writing, understanding and speaking either English or French. Generally accepted tests include:

  • test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL)
  • the International English Language Testing System (IELTS)
  • the Canadian Academic English Language (CAEL) Assessment

Proof of good health
Depending on your citizenship, you might also need to pass a medical exam.  The exam has to be done by an authorized doctor.

If you need an exam, it’s a good idea to make an appointment when you are accepted to an Ontario college or university. Otherwise, it could take up to three months longer to process your application.

A study permit
In most cases, you will need to apply for a study permit before you come to Canada. If you plan to stay 6+ months, you need a permit in all cases.

You can apply for a permit at the Canadian visa office in your country. Check with the local office in your area to see what supporting documents you will need.
