LEAP applications are open to all international students, including those off-shore, for Fall, Winter, and Spring intakes.
Due to the timing of study permit processing, we have a specific deadline for off-shore international students. Off-shore students who submit an application after the following date will automatically have their application rolled to the next term.
- Fall Semester: June 1
- Winter Semester: October 1
- Spring Semester: February 1
We will continue to accept LEAP applications from on-shore international students until the program closes for admission.
