  Application Deadlines

  In addition to applying to the University of Manitoba, international applicants must make arrangements to enter Canada. This process should begin when you submit your application for graduate admission.

  Please consult the department for their specific application deadline. Generally, international applicants should submit their application 7 - 9 months prior to their expected start date.

  Recommendations for admission are forwarded from a department to the Faculty of Graduate Studies for final assessment and approval 4 months prior to an applicants start date. The Faculty of graduate studies notifies applicants of their acceptance or rejection.

  Studying in Canada

  All international students must obtain a Study Permit before coming to Canada. This can be obtained from the nearest Canadian Embassy, High Commission, or Consulate. For certain countries, the Canadian government also requires students to obtain a Visitor Visa in addition to the Study Permit. A Visitor Visa is usually issued at the same time as the Study Permit. Spouses and children who come to Canada with you will also require a Visitor Visa. Please visit the Citizenship and Immigration Canada website for details on requirements for entering and studying in Canada.

  This documentation must be applied for before coming to Canada. Before Canada Customs and Immigration will issue a Study Permit you will need an official letter of acceptance from the Faculty of Graduate Studies.

  The University of Manitoba's International Centre for Students is an excellent resource for information on coming to Canada, what to expect when you arrive and tips on everything from transportation to accommodation. It's a great starting point if you are condsidering attending the U of M!

  Minimum Requirements for Applicants
  Admission to the Faculty of Graduate Studies is competitive and a combination of factors is considered in the admission decision, including:

  • The availability and willingness of a faculty member competent to supervise the program of study and research of the applicant.• A successfully completed English Language Proficiency Test is required of all applicants unless they have received a high school diploma or university degree from Canada or one of the countries listed on the English Language Proficiency Test Exemption List.

Documented proof of either the above must be submitted with the application for admission. Please note: scores more than two years old are not acceptable.• A staff member at the University above the rank of Lecturer or Instructor II is not eligible to register for a higher degree in the department in which the appointment is held.

  Graduates of Honours (four-year undergraduate degree) or equivalent programs from recognized colleges and universities with a minimum GPA of 3.0 in the last two full years (60 credit hours) of study are eligible for direct admission to a program of study leading to the Master’s degree. Students who have completed the pre-Master’s program from the University of Manitoba or another university with a GPA of 3.0 are also eligible for admission.In specific cases where the academic background of the student is judged to be insufficient for the given program in a unit, the department may recommend that the student be admitted to a pre-Master’s program of study.
