Whether you are applying for the ORA Exchange Program, the Summer Research Program, or the Summer Language Program, your application must be submitted to the International Office of your home university in Ontario. Please note that each International Office sets their own university-specific application deadlines. You should check your university’s website for those dates.
That office will decide which applicant it wishes to nominate for participation in the specific ORA program. Those nominations will then be forwarded to the ORA Program Office in Toronto, which will determine the final list of participants. The ORA Office cannot accept applications directly from students.
Please check with the International Office at your home university regarding their internal application process and deadlines. Also, please make sure to submit the required supplemental documentation for each ORA program.
