If I take the dMAT exam now, will the APS certificate still be valid when I apply for Winter 2027 admissions?
Yes, your APS certificate remains fully valid for Winter 2027 once issued, since APS certificates carry no expiry date as long as your academic credentials stay unchanged. Taking the dMAT now clears that requirement early, and any score you get is simply printed on your certificate for universities to review.
Your APS certificate will still be valid when you apply for Winter 2027, because APS certificates do not carry an expiry date once issued. Sitting the dMAT now just clears that requirement early instead of leaving it for later.

My Advice
Taking the dMAT early is a smart move, since it removes one bottleneck from your Winter 2027 timeline. Use the extra months before applications open to also strengthen your statement of purpose and shortlist, rather than leaving everything for the last quarter of the year.
