Regarding Canadian B schools admission

Hello All, I am in a bit of confusion regarding the Canadian B school admissions which are already in process now for fall 2021. I have my GMAT due on 20th of this month, but as I am in contact with some universities regarding the process i found that one of the university , University of Calgary Haskayne School of Business is already full with the applications and have intimated not to apply . I was in a notion that it wouldn't be a bad idea applying in January if I have a 700+ score and targeted completely onto it. Is it the scenario everywhere that even applying with a good score in January is not a means to get an admission in good universities specifically for canadian B schools.
Please do help me understand this, because I had my complete hope of getting into MBA fall 2021 and even though lost my job due to covid completely devoted onto GMAT and giving it on 20th but now after I got a reply from Calgary I am completely lost as to applying in January will do no good even thought with a strong score. Please clear my doubt that would settle my anxiety. Thank you

Hello Rajakashyap,
Most Canadian B-Schools have advised international candidates to not apply post the Round 2 deadline because of visa concerns; however you can check on a school-by-school basis. Round 3 is anyways competitive, so you may need a strong profile to stay competitive. One way for you will be to get a job and for Fall 2022, as a longer job gap will be difficult to explain later.

Hi Rajakashyap,
This is an exceptional case. There are still many top schools in Canada whose R2 deadlines are in January and applying to R2 is totally cool. We have many applicants of R2 for Canada schools. Consider Ivey (2022 intake), Schulich, Rotman, HEC Montreal.
To help you better, I need to know the schools you're targeting and the rounds you are applying to. A 700 GMAT can put you in a good spot for all the schools I've mentioned. Feel free to reach out to us. We can have a discussion at length over your profile and target schools.
Hope this helps you to get over your anxiety. Wish you all the luck for GMAT!
Cheers!
