How to Apply

Step 1: Print the ‘Applicant Checklist’ and familiarize yourself with the documents needed to substantiate the claims made in your online application.

Step 2: Contact your referees and ensure you have a current email address for each of them. When you submit your online application it is recommended that you then notify each referee that they should receive an email within 48 hours from the AIMG Program containing the “AIMG Program Standardized Reference” form.

Note: If any of your referees do not get the reference request email from the AIMG Program, it is imperative that you email the AIMG Program to request that the reference request be resent.

Step 3: Ensure that your curriculum vitae is current.

Step 4: Set aside enough time; open and complete the online application form on the AIMG Program website.

Step 5: Print and complete the ‘Privacy Notice and Declaration’ form for submission as part of your application package.

Step 6: Once the online application is complete and submitted you need to assemble your documents for submission to the AIMG Program office. Have any documents that are not in English translated into English by an accredited translator.

Step 7: Complete the ‘AIMG Program Applicant Identity Verification’ form and the ‘AIMG Program Alberta Residency Declaration’ form, and have them notarized by an Alberta notary public or Alberta lawyer, as required.

Step 8: Ensure all documents are completed and notarized as required.

Step 9: Obtain a Canadian postal money order or certified cheque made payable to The University of Calgary in the amount of $100CAD per discipline, up to a maximum of five (5) disciplines, as your application fee.

Step 10: Prepare to submit your application package. Check that each document listed on the ‘Applicant Checklist’ is in your application package and submit the completed checklist with your documents to the AIMG Program office.

Note: Applicants for the 2011 cycle who submitted a complete set of documents for either the 2009 or the 2010 cycle are still required to submit:
