EnrolLment process

How to apply:

  • MSc students, PhD candidates or Postdoctoral fellows who are interested in joining the BRIGHT-Canada program must first contact a participating investigator and in conjunction with them, submit an application to the program management committee.
  • The students will have to be accepted into the graduate program at the University of their supervisor before they submit the BRIGHT-Canada application form.


The deadline for applications is the 15th of August every year.
After we receive your applications, you will get a confirmation of receipt and the application will be submitted to the program management committee for their review.

An acceptance letter will be sent if you are selected for the program. Applicants who are not selected will also be notified, and in some cases, a waitlist may be maintained should additional positions become available.
