Did you graduate more than five years ago?
For both the M.Sc. and Ph.D. programs, applicants who graduated five or more years ago without achieving sufficiently high standing for admission as outlined above may be considered for admission if in the intervening period they have done significant relevant work. Such applicants must present substantial evidence that, in the interval since graduation, they have achieved qualifications at least equivalent to those stated in the preceding sections. Where relevant, significant professional accomplishments and contributions to the field will be taken as evidence of equivalent qualifications. Such students may be required to take remedial courses.
English language requirements
It is essential that all incoming graduate students have a good command of written and spoken English. If you have been educated outside Canada, your primary language is not English and you have graduated from a university where the language of instruction and examination was not English, you must demonstrate your facility in the English language.
Do I have to demonstrate my language skills before I apply?
Evidence that language requirements have been met should be provided at the time of application.
