Yes, you can apply for a master's in Canada at age 33 - there are no upper age limits for most universities. The September 2027 intake is recommended, as it offers the widest program choice and more scholarship options.

Key points about the September intake:
- Main intake for Canadian universities, including business-related programs.
- Application deadlines usually fall between December 2026 and March 2027.
- More scholarships and funding options are available compared to other intakes.

The process typically involves selecting programs, preparing documents (transcripts, recommendation letters, statement of purpose, proof of English proficiency), applying before deadlines, and then proceeding with the visa after receiving an offer.
