When can we start the application process and what documents are required in Canada for a Master's?

You can typically start applying for master's programs in Canada for the September 2027 intake between September 2026 and January 2027. Application deadlines usually fall between November 2026 and March 2027, but exact dates vary by university and program.

Required documents usually include:
- Academic transcripts and degree certificates from all post-secondary studies
- English language proficiency scores (such as IELTS, unless exempt)
