There is no separate deadline: the scholarship is considered together with your programme application. Work to the admission deadline of the programme you choose.

The one-year award needs no application: everyone who applies for admission is considered. The Major Entrance Scholarship needs a separate application soon after the admission application, and McGill publishes those dates on its own deadlines page, which is where the current cycle has to be read.
