Step 5

Did you complete all the above steps?

Then…

When you'll hear from us

In early April, you will be notified by letter from your provincial or territorial coordinator of the status of your application. If you’re on a waiting list, don’t despair! Bursaries are awarded throughout the spring and summer to replace bursary recipients who decide not to participate, so you may still get the opportunity to Explore another corner of the country.

If your application is accepted

The institution you will be attending will send you an acceptance package. Complete the package and return it, along with your registration fee and deposit, if applicable. Please note that you will be required to provide a photocopy of your social insurance card to your host institution.

Don’t delay! If you haven’t replied within two weeks of being accepted, your bursary will be given to another applicant. Institutions need to know how many bursary recipients are coming.

For more information, call 1-877-866-4242.
