Candidates cannot apply directly to the Vanier CGS program.
Applications are
initiated in one of two ways. Either the student informs the faculty of
graduate studies at the selected institution of their intent to apply to
the Vanier CGS program OR the institution initiates the nomination
process by contacting the desired candidate.
Applications are prepared by the student and submitted to the nominating institution by their internal deadline using the ResearchNet application system. The nominating institution then forwards recommended nominations to the Vanier-Banting Secretariat (the Secretariat) by 4 November 2015.
