UPCOMING INTAKES IN THE CANADA

Canada universities and colleges offer three intakes. They are  also be referred as semesters in some institutions. The three intakes available in Canada are:

• Intake 1: Fall Semester – A popular intake which starts in the month of September

• Intake 2: Winter Semester – Which starts in the month of January

• Intake 3: Summer Semester – Usually starts from April/May, this intake is available for limited programs and colleges.

We would advise you to apply well in advance because admissions and scholarships get difficult when you apply closer to the deadline. It is always feasible to apply 6 to 9 months before the academic session starts.
