For the September 2027 intake in Canada, the best time to start your university applications is between October and December 2026. Most universities open applications during this period, with deadlines typically from January to March 2027.

Applying early improves your chances for admission, scholarships, and preferred accommodation. It also gives you more time for visa processing and other preparations.

Since your background is in Forensic Sciences and Genetics, target programs that match your interests and ensure you meet all entry requirements, including language tests like IELTS.
