International applicants are encouraged to apply for admission as early as possible.
The earlier you apply, the faster your application will be processed and you will have more time to apply for scholarships, apply for housing, and get your study permit.
You can submit your application and then send your documents later, as long as your application and documents are submitted by the appropriate deadlines.
Application Deadlines
Application deadlines vary by program. Most undergraduate programs accept applications until March 1 for September entry, however, there are exceptions.
For Fall term (September) entry—when most students begin studies—deadlines can be as early as November 1 the previous year for some programs.
