@toward the ocean Hi, first time poster, I applied to a Canadian M.A. program two years ago. It is my understanding that Canadian university acceptances come out a little later than most US schools. also there is no final deadline for when they have to send a response to you. In my cohort I found out I was accepted in February, though another student got an acceptance about a month before term started. I think thats an extreme example, but I would look to see when people heard back last year, and you can always contact the department or your POI asking for an update, worst that will happen is they wont respond.
