Is January admission possible/common? MSc Statistics in Canada I am interested in studying for a master's degree in statistics as an international student in Canada. I would like to begin my studies at the earliest opportunity and so would like to start in early 2018 (Jan/Feb) if possible.

I'm aware that McGill's program has a January intake, but most others do not specify either way. 

Generally speaking, is it possible to begin in January, even if this start date is not mentioned on the program site? Are there any particular draw backs to starting at this time of year?

Thanks in advance for any help with this.

Regards,

Andrew
I am enclosing the following link. If this is the course that you are looking into, it does have a fall and winter intake.

Many of the Canadian programs have two intakes - a Fall and a Winter, especially a thesis based Masters which can progress towards a Ph.D.
