How to register?

The registration process begins with the contact of the interested person with the parent institution to which they belong. You must submit a letter of intent, describing the nature of your research or studies.

In addition, it will include the rationale for studying in Canada and the choice of institution, program or supervisor.

It is important to understand that the student is not the one who registers, but rather the one who initiates it. It is the mother institutions who will identify the strongest candidates academically and who meet the requirements of the partner universities.

Finally, Canadian universities will apply for the call, sending the registration form and providing the supporting material for the candidacy. To do so, you must enter this site .

They will be able to share multiple student registrations. But these must be positioned in a ranking , based on strategic priorities.

Additionally, they must identify a person responsible for the administration of the program.

All online applications received will be reviewed to ensure they meet eligibility criteria. Those that do so will be evaluated by these criteria:

• Merit of the proposed research or study project that the student will do in Canada.
• Benefit for the parent institution.
• Convenience to the university of Canada.
• In addition to the quality of the contacts that will be created in the exchange.
