If a program is displayed as Waitlisted, you must meet the eligibility criteria for that program and then you can apply to the program. Applications are reviewed on a regular basis and are prioritized by program type and program need. There can be some delay between the day an application is submitted and when the application is reviewed. Some of the programs may not have any eligibility criteria. Read the program brief and if you are interested, you can apply for the program.
Eligibility Updates Daily: If you have met the criteria, you may need to wait a day to view it.
Viewing Pre-launched Waitlisted Programs
When viewing programs, you can also view the waitlisted programs that will be launched in the future. You can apply for the program when the program launches and if you meet the eligibility criteria.
The future date on a program only displays if the program is not already in-progress.
