There are two methods to start an application. Either the student tells the graduate studies faculty of the chosen school of their intention to apply to the Vanier CGS program, or the institution begins the nomination procedure by contacting the preferred applicant.

The student prepares the application and submits it to the nominating institution by their internal deadline via the ResearchNet application system. After that, the nominating institution sends suggested nominees to the Vanier-Banting Secretariat (the Secretariat) by 2 November 2021.

You are expected to visit the official website to access the application form and to gather extensive information on how to apply for this scholarship.

Recommended: Everything you need to know about study abroad .

Scholarships in Canada are extremely competitive since they are relatively fewer in number as compared to scholarships provided by other nations such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. The scholarships for international students intending to study in Canada are awarded based on superior academic performance and English proficiency scores. They are also often awarded by colleges without the need for a specific application based on qualifying criteria. However, at other schools, students must apply for the same. Scholarships are often awarded at the entry level, but for certain scholarships, students must demonstrate academic distinction in later years of study as well. All the best in your pursuit.

Canada Graduate Scholarships — Master’s program

The objective of the Canada Graduate Scholarships – Master’s (CGS M) program is to help develop research skills and assist in the training of highly qualified personnel by supporting students who demonstrate a high standard of achievement in undergraduate and early graduate studies.

Description

The CGS M program provides financial support to high-calibre scholars who are engaged in an eligible master’s or, in some cases, doctoral program in Canada (refer to  Eligibility for more information). This support allows these scholars to fully concentrate on their studies in their chosen fields.

Eligibility

To be eligible to apply, you must

• be a Canadian citizen, a permanent resident of Canada or a Protected Person under subsection 95(2) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (Canada) as of the application deadline date
• be enrolled in, have applied for or will apply for full-time admission * to an eligible graduate program at the master’s or doctoral level at a Canadian institution with a CGS M allocation
• respect the internal deadline to apply for admission for your intended program of study—contact the faculty of graduate studies (or its equivalent) at the selected Canadian institution(s) for more detailed information
• have completed, as of December 31 of the year of application
• a master’s program
• a doctoral program that you are entering directly from a bachelor’s program without having ever been enrolled in any graduate programs (direct-entry)
• a combined master’s-doctoral program
• a master’s program that will transition to an eligible doctoral program, either before or after award activation, with no master’s degree conferred (fast-track)
• a master’s program for which the degree requirements will be completed before the end of the award, allowing the award to continue into an eligible doctoral program
• or between 4 and 12 months of full-time study (or full-time equivalent) in an eligible master’s program for which the degree requirements will be completed before activation of the award at that same institution, allowing it to be activated during the first 12 months of the subsequent doctoral program for which you are requesting funding
• not have held or be currently holding a CGS M scholarship from NSERC, CIHR or SSHRC
• not have held or be currently holding an Indigenous Scholars Award and Supplement
• Note: Institutions may, at their discretion, accept CGS M applications from individuals who have not obtained a first-class average; contact your proposed host institutions to determine their use of this eligibility criterion
• Note: Should more than one application be submitted, the eligible application submitted first chronologically will be retained

*Refer to the Tri-agency research training award holder’s guide for details regarding part-time admission. **All studies credited toward the eligible program will be counted, whether or not they were completed at the degree-granting institution. Two terms of part-time study count as one term of full-time study.

Program of study eligibility

An eligible graduate program must include a significant research component that leads to the completion of a thesis, major research project, dissertation, scholarly publication, performance, recital and/or exhibit that is merit/expert-reviewed at the institutional level as a requirement for completion of the program.

Joint programs with a professional degree (for example, MD/PhD, DVM/PhD, JD/MA, JD/PhD, MBA/PhD, MA/MBA) as well as clinically oriented programs of study , including clinical psychology, are eligible if they have a significant autonomous research component, as described above.

Master’s programs that are based only on course work are typically not eligible since they do not include a significant research component, as described above.

Given the specific requirements of certain disciplines, institutions are invited to contact the appropriate agency for guidance on the eligibility of programs of study.

Eligible locations of tenure

Without exception, CGS M awards are tenable only at eligible Canadian institutions .

Field of research and subject matter eligibility

NSERC, CIHR and SSHRC support and promote high-quality research in a wide variety of disciplines and areas, which are divided into broad fields of research (health, natural sciences and engineering, and social sciences and humanities). This includes research that bridges two or more disciplines or that requires the skills of several disciplines.

Equity, diversity and inclusion

The Tri-agency is acting on the evidence that achieving a more equitable, diverse and inclusive Canadian research enterprise is essential to creating the excellent, innovative and impactful research necessary to advance knowledge and understanding, and to respond to local, national and global challenges. This principle informs the commitments described in the Tri-agency statement on equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI).

Black student researchers

The Government of Canada has deployed additional funds to increase direct support for Black student researchers . CGS M applicants who self-identify as Black and provide consent in their application to be considered for funds designated for specific groups may be able to receive this funding through a scholarship as part of this initiative. Each agency has a limited number of additional CGS M awards reserved for this initiative.

For more information, consult the Frequently asked questions about the new Black scholars funding web page.

Application procedures

To apply to the CGS M program, you must complete and submit an application to up to three institutions using the Research Portal. Consult the Canada Graduate Scholarships – Master’s program: Instructions for completing an application for more information on how to apply.

Allocations

Eligible Canadian institutions are assigned a separate allocation of awards to offer from each agency. Institutions must respect the agency-specific allocation. Refer to the Canada Graduate Scholarships – Master’s award allocations page for a list of allocations by institution and by agency.

Note: As the application deadline approaches, delays may occur due to a high volume of users on the Research Portal, which may prevent the timely submission of your application. It is your responsibility to strictly follow the instructions for completing an application . Requests to submit late applications will not be accepted.

Selection process

The faculty of graduate studies (or its equivalent) at each institution is responsible for coordinating the selection process for the CGS M applications. Refer to Canada Graduate Scholarships – Master’s program information and instructions for scholarships liaison officers for more information on the selection process.

Selection criteria

The merit review of CGS M applications will be carried out by institutions with an allocation and will be based on the following evaluation criteria:

San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment

In 2019, NSERC, CIHR and SSHRC, along with other Canadian research funding agencies, signed the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) . As such, the agencies are committed to meaningful assessment of excellence in research funding and to ensuring that a wide range of research results and outcomes are considered and valued as part of the assessment process.They will continue work to ensure that their strategies, policies, and guidance align with DORA.

Notification of results

Conditions of the award.

Location of tenure

Awards must be held at the institution where the offer of award originates. Awards are not intended to be portable; however, at the discretion of the host institution and with agency approval, exceptions may be made in certain circumstances (for example, parental reasons, medical or pandemic-related reasons, family-related responsibilities, or exceptional supervision circumstances).

Policies and guidelines

You must comply with the policies and guidelines set out in the Tri-agency research training award holder’s guide and in any other documents related to scholarship applications and awards. In addition, the award is subject to final approval by the relevant agency before funds can be released.

You cannot be concurrently holding another NSERC, CIHR or SSHRC award, with the exception of the Michael Smith Foreign Studies supplement (MSFSS).

The agencies reserve the right to interpret and enforce the policies and guidelines for their funding opportunities set out in their published materials.

Use and disclosure of information

Official languages.

You may submit your application in the official language of your choice. Institutions must have mechanisms in place to review both English and French applications.

CGS M holders may be eligible for the following related opportunities:

The first point of contact for the CGS M program is the faculty of graduate studies (or its equivalent) at the institution(s) where you intend to hold the award .

You can also contact any of Canada’s three granting agencies for information about this program. You should communicate with the agency whose mandate corresponds to your field of research.

10 generous Canada scholarships for international students worth up to CA$45,000

Canada scholarships promise a fully or partially funded path to study, work and build a life in one of the most popular countries in the world.

Official data from the Canadian Bureau for International Education showed more than  800,000 international students had active student visas in 2022, up from 275,000 in 2012.

With its welcoming immigration policies and top-ranked universities, it’s little wonder Canada has become a popular study abroad destination.

It is so popular that there is now not enough decent, affordable accommodation for international students, with 25 students reportedly resorting to sleeping in tents on the side of the road .

In response, there is ongoing discussion to limit the number of international students allowed into Canada — the first of its kind.

Canadian Housing Minister Sean Fraser says this limit was “one of the options that we ought to consider,” BBC  reports. 

Many universities rejected this idea swiftly, saying that tying international students to the country’s housing crisis is “deeply concerning.”

Canada targets to welcome 1.5 million new immigrants by 2025 — students are a key group it recognises for bringing “tremendous economic, cultural and social benefits” to the country.

By offering high-quality educational institutions and opportunities to work (for up to three years after graduation) or immigrate, it has attracted hundreds of thousands to the country, like Nakul and Nishul Juneja.

Being able to stay and work in Canada was a big factor for the identical twins, who pursued their MBA  at the University of Toronto Rotman’s School of Management after completing their bachelor’s degree at the Georgia Institute of Technology. 

Today, with a Canadian MBA in hand, Nakul is an Associate with McKinsey & Company and Nishul is a Senior Product Manager at Amazon.

Canada scholarships offer international students a clear path to similar success.

Tips to win scholarships from a winner of scholarships

There are many Canada scholarships for students, if you know where to look. Source: Ryan Sutherland

Sutherland’s proven tips for scholarship triumph include:

• Start early: Start extremely early if you want to get a competitive scholarship.
• Know your deadlines: Sutherland always had an Excel document with all the deadlines. As he explains, some scholarship applications take up to 15 minutes, while he spends a longer time with other applications. 
• The more, the merrier: Think about your other “identities.” Some organisations like the United Nations offer scholarships or jobs if you’re working for one of those organisations. Some companies may say the benefit of working for them is getting a master’s degree for free. 
• Make your application unique, but don’t do twice the work: Try to make your application relevant to how your career has developed currently and relevant for the times. If there’s a political movement happening at the time or you’re involved in activism or public service relevant to a particular scholarship, mention these in your scholarship applications.
