Is it free?
Free to enter. You can also enter by mail; the official rules explain how.
One Student Life Network account and one set of entries per person.
What does signing up ask for?
Signing up asks for your email, then your name, birthday, gender, postal code, whether you’re an international student, your school and your graduation year. An alternate email is optional.
The official rules say a new account also asks you to “choose a password.” You also agree to get emails from Student Life Network. You can unsubscribe any time, and it won’t affect your entry or your odds.
When is the draw?
The draw is on June 16, 2027. The contest closes June 7, 2027.
New Student Life Network accounts must be created by May 31, 2027. From June 1 to June 7, 2027, you can still enter by logging in to an account you already have.
How do I get more entries?
You get 1 entry for the grand prize and 10 entries for each extra prize you enter, and you can earn up to 14,000 extra entries by completing actions posted on the contest site.
You can double your entries once, up to 28,002 in total: with a CIBC banking product, or by mailing in a short essay. Conditions apply.
How is the winner picked?
One entry is drawn. If that person entered other Canada’s Luckiest Student 2027 prizes too, they win those as well, as long as they meet each prize’s rules. If that person didn’t enter a prize, that prize is drawn separately from the people who did.
The winner has to answer a math skill-testing question. Your odds depend on how many entries you earn compared with the total number of eligible entries.
