Deadlines

  1. 1 February 2027*

    Apply by: U.S. and international applicants, fall entry (immigration processing)
    Hard deadline
    Details

    Concordia publishes 1 February as advice rather than a rule, explicitly to leave time for immigration documents. The year is projected from a recurring date and is provisional. In Quebec the immigration document is the CAQ, which has to be granted before the federal study permit can be.

    Concordia's wording is "U.S. and international applicants: Apply no later than February 1 to allow time for immigration document processing" — a month before its own general deadline, and the reason is the Certificat d'acceptation du Quebec, which has its own entry below and has to be granted before the federal study permit. Concordia gives a bare "February 1" with no year, as it does for every date in that section, so 2027 is expected rather than confirmed. Treat it as your deadline; 1 March is for applicants already in Canada.

    Film Production: application and portfolio deadline, fall 2027
    Hard deadline
    Details

    Six weeks after McGill's, two miles away, in the same province. The year is projected from a recurring date. Concordia takes three ranked programme choices on one application.

    Published as "FALL ENTRY (September) Deadline: March 1", with no year, so 2027 is expected rather than confirmed. It is the date a student applying from Denmark sees first on Concordia's page, and it is the wrong one: the international date is 1 February, four weeks earlier.
