To be considered for a CSPF fellowship, eligible applicants must:

• Be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident

Please note that Canadian citizenship or permanent resident status is required to obtain a security clearance with a host office to begin a fellowship. All applicants must have Canadian citizenship or permanent residency prior to the start of the interview process. The interview process starts in May of the year of the fellowship.

• Hold a PhD in any academic discipline at the start of the fellowship
• Be able to participate full-time in a 12-month fellowship at the host office
• Secure accommodation in the host city and relocate to their host office as needed
• Negotiate a leave of absence from their current employer, as applicable
• Meet any additional requirements of their hosts, including (but not limited to) security clearance requirements

Fellowships cannot be held concurrently with other Mitacs awards. If you are currently participating in a Mitacs program, whether as an intern, postdoctoral fellow, academic supervisor, or representative of an industrial partner, the award term end date must be no later than August 31 of the year in which the fellowship is due to start.
