to process applications received after this date and distribute them to the
Ontario universities; however, specific university deadlines will apply. May 29, 2025 The

January application deadline can expect a response from an Ontario
university. This includes an offer of admission, a refusal or a deferral,
once additional information is received. June 2, 2025 The earliest date a
Group A applicant may be required to respond to an Ontario university offer
of admission and give a financial commitment (e.g., registration deposit,
