Please refer back to this timeline regularly, as dates are subject to change.

Applicants can start selecting the programs to which they wish to apply and assigning requested documents.
3 November 2023 at 17:00 ET
Applicants who would like their MSPR or references to be translated using the CaRMS-facilitated translation service should make the request through CaRMS Online by today.
Every effort will be made to complete translations submitted by this date prior to the opening of file review, but due to the compressed second iteration timeline we cannot guarantee translations will be in applicant accounts and ready to assign to programs before file review.
8 November 2023
Referees must submit references through the CaRMS Online referee portal by this date to give applicants enough time to assign reference materials to programs before the opening of file review.
If applicants would like their references to be translated by the CaRMS-facilitated translation service, they must be submitted before the translation request deadline.
9 November 2023 at 12:00 (noon) ET
Applications and all required documents must be submitted and assigned to programs by 12:00 (noon) ET today to be considered on time.
Any applications and documents submitted or assigned after 12:00 (noon) ET today will be time-stamped as late.
Some programs will not review late applications or documents. Consult program descriptions to ensure programs will review your application if it is submitted after file review has begun.

Programs now have access to all submitted applications and documents.
