UNIVERSITY APPLICATION PROCESS
So you now know where you want to attend next
year! But how do you apply? Well, that depends on the province in which your
prospective university is located. Some provinces such as
Ontario have central university application
centres where all applicants must send in their applications. Others require
you to file applications directly to the university. If you are unsure,
contact the university for specific application procedures.
Pay special attention to application deadlines. With the large number of
applicants, universities will usually not bother processing applications
after the deadline.
To ensure that your application is
delivered on time, submit your application online (if this service is
available) at least 2 days before the deadline. Otherwise mail your
application at least two weeks in advance, if you are using regular
'first-class' Canada Post. If you are using a courier service, mail it at
least one week early.

I do now?
