Canada Summer 2026 Internship Deadlines

hi! 

you're right, MBB usually post early and clearly. for the others: most will open apps between late June and August for summer 2026 roles, with deadlines around August–September. EY-Parthenon, Strategy&, and Deloitte Monitor tend to follow similar cycles to MBB. Oliver Wyman often posts a bit later. Accenture Strategy and LEK may vary more by school, so keep an eye on your career portal too.

you’re not missing much—Roland Berger doesn’t have a Canada office. maybe also check out Simon-Kucher, ZS, and Dalberg (if you're open to social impact) as additional options.

good luck and feel free to ping me if you want help with applications!

Hi there,

This is the messy part of the recruitment process. But if you know how to approach it well, you're already ahead of most candidates.

These dates are not centralised anywhere. 

Your best bet is to reach out independently to each recruiter from each of these offices and confirm it with them, plus confirm that your profile is relevant for the role that you're targeting.

Hi there,

I would be happy to share my thoughts on your question:

• First of all, you are right that most consulting firms, except for McKinsey, BCG, and Bain, don't post application timelines as early or as clearly, but you can expect a similar cycle.
• Moreover, I would strongly advise you to contact the recruiting teams as soon as possible to verify the dates, as they are the only ones who know for certain.

You can find more on this topic here: How to succeed in the final interview round.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare your application files, for your upcoming pre-interview assessments and/or interviews, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen
