Canada has three intake periods for international students: winter, fall, and summer. These may also be referred to as semesters at Canadian universities. Following is a description of overseas students accepted into Canada:
- The primary intake season for Canada is the fall, which begins in September.
- The secondary intake for Canada’s winter season begins in January. In Canada, January/Winter Intake features numerous courses offered by numerous colleges. Therefore, since Fall/September Intake is the central intake and the Winter/January Intake is for students who missed their chance in Fall, most colleges offer all of their courses during Fall/September Intake.
- The summer intake for Canada would begin in May, and only a few courses are offered there. The Canadian MBA and Master’s admissions processes are identical to those described above.
