Yes, you can start the application process for the January intake in Canada if the September intake is closed. Many Canadian universities offer a January (winter) intake for Master's programs.

Application deadlines for January intake usually fall between June and November of the previous year, but exact dates vary by university and program. Applying early is recommended, as some programs may close applications once they reach capacity.

If you need help finding suitable programs or understanding the application steps, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
