In New Zealand, the main intake months for master's programs are:

- February: Primary intake with the widest range of programs and scholarships. - July: Mid-year intake with fewer options. - November: Limited, mainly for short-term or specific postgraduate courses.

In Canada, the key intake months are:

- September (Fall): Most popular, with the largest selection of programs and scholarships. - January (Winter): Secondary intake, fewer programs. - May (Summer): Least common, mostly for diploma or certificate courses.

Application deadlines are well in advance and vary by university and program.
