As a study-abroad aspirant, you must be familiar with “Intakes”. Most abroad countries accept students through the Intake process. Intakes are the time period when universities accept applications from students around the world. Every abroad country has a maximum of three intakes and similarly, Canada too has three intakes - Fall, Winter and Summer.

Fall Intake is the most popular intake in Canada. Canadian universities receive maximum number of applications during this intake. Fall intake is popular because almost all trending courses are offered and many scholarships are awarded for students choosing this intake.

Winter Intake is the second-most preferred intake. Even though fewer courses are offered for this intake, career opportunities, internships and scholarships offered are more or less similar to the September intake.

Summer Intake is the final intake to apply to Canadian universities. Only a few universities offer this intake and they offer only selected courses during this time. Students wanting to study diploma and summer vocational programs can choose this intake.
