Online application
If you are a full-time student, you can apply using the online application even if you haven't been officially accepted yet, as long as you know your:

It takes two weeks to process online applications. Once your application is processed, you will find out:

Paper application
Paper applications are required if you are:
- applying for a second time in the same program year or
- applying for part-time studies.
You can pick up a paper application at one of our offices. When your paper application is received, it takes 5 to 8 weeks to process, so make sure you plan ahead.
