INTERNATIONAL APPLICANTS - Due to current significant delays in study permit processing times, international applicants are encouraged to complete their application (with all required documents, including a GMAT/GRE score) at least 2 months before the above stated deadline date.
We process applications on a rolling basis and do not wait until deadlines pass to review files. Applying early will ensure an early admission decision, which in turn will allow applicants the time required to obtain their study permit on time to arrive for the start of their program.
