Government of Canada Awards to foreign students for graduate study in Canada
Awards are available to citizens from the following countries:
Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, the Philippines and Russia
Other countries may be added to this program. Please visit this site regularly for updated information.
Objectives
Under its program of academic exchanges, Foreign Affairs Canada (FAC) offers awards on an annual basis to citizens of various countries. (Offers of awards are subject to availability of funding).
These awards, tenable only in Canada, are intended to enable foreign students of high academic standing to undertake graduate studies or post doctoral research in Canadian institutions. Awards may be applied to research or studies in all areas of the arts, the social sciences and humanities, commerce, the natural sciences and engineering. Proposed programs of study must focus on a Canadian subject or include significant Canadian content.
Selection
All applications are judged on a competitive basis. The final selection is based on the applicant's academic or artistic merit and the justification given for carrying out the proposed program of study or research in Canada.
Applications are screened by the Embassy of Canada which coordinates the competition in the applicant's home country. Those which pass this review are sent by the Embassy of Canada to the program administrators in Canada, the Canadian Bureau for International Education (CBIE). The final selection is made on the advice of the Canadian Scholarship Selection Committee, a representative body of academic specialists. Awards are approved subject to the admission of the successful candidate to a Canadian institution. Confirmation of most placements in host institutions is normally made by the month of June following the date of application. Full scholarship holders should expect to take up their awards by September, when the Canadian academic year begins. Research scholarship and post doctoral fellowship holders must begin their program in Canada no later than the month of January following the final confirmation of their award.
Eligibility
(please also see country-specific information in the following pages)
Only citizens of participating countries are eligible. Candidates who have obtained or plan to obtain permanent resident status in Canada are not eligible. Award holders are expected to return to their respective countries at the end of their study program or research. All applicants must have sufficient facility in either of Canada's official languages, English or French.
Citizens of countries included in this program who reside in Canada are eligible to apply, and will be considered on an equal basis with applicants applying directly from their country of origin. All applicants must contact the Embassy of Canada located in their country of origin for information on country-specific requirements and to obtain, in some cases, supplementary application forms. All applications must be submitted to the Embassy of Canada or designated agency located in the country of origin of the applicant.
The proposed program of study must focus on a Canadian subject or include significant Canadian content. The foregoing requirement can relate to a large number of disciplines. In the social sciences and humanities, the awards are likely to apply chiefly to Canadian history, politics, literature, geography, sociology, economics, etc. They can also apply to subjects of international interest in which Canada has particular experience or in which Canadian expertise is widely recognized, such as bilingualism and multiculturalism, studies in ocean law and management, inter-city transportation, the northern environment, telecommunications, etc. Canadian content in science and engineering implies fields in which Canada is a leader in research on the subject and where there is international recognition of Canadian interest, experience or excellence.
Applicants for research scholarships and full scholarships must be qualified to enter a Canadian graduate program. Applicants for either of these awards must not have previously received a Canadian university degree with the assistance of a Canadian federal government agency. Applicants in the fine arts must have completed their basic training and have begun their professional career. The proposed research or study program should supplement previous training in their chosen field. Applicants must be able to undertake a well-defined program in Canada.
Preference will be given to applicants who have obtained a university degree within the last five years.
