Recommended Timeline

How Far in Advance Should You Apply?

We recommend applying at least 3–4 weeks before your desired program start date. This allows time for your CLB placement assessment, Enrollment Agreement review, and tuition payment processing.

For intensive exam preparation cohorts, apply as early as possible — these cohorts fill quickly, particularly for TEF/TCF dates that align with Express Entry draw cycles.
