Aga Khan Foundation Canada Global Leadership Program 2026

The Aga Khan Foundation Canada Global Leadership Program 2026 is a fellowship for mid-career Canadian professionals from across sectors. It combines virtual engagement with an in-person residency in Ottawa, aiming to develop leadership mindset and skills for contributing to a peaceful, prosperous, and pluralist world. The program covers most costs for the virtual sessions and the Ottawa residency, with a potential contribution for an overseas learning experience and a nominal fee to secure a spot.

Covers virtual engagement sessions and in-person residency costs (travel, accommodation, meals); potential overseas learning experience with some participant contribution; networking with a global leadership cohort; ongoing alumni engagement.

Be a citizen or permanent resident of Canada; be fluent in English; be available to travel to Ottawa for the in-person residency (Nov 1–6, 2026); be committed to virtual group coaching before and after the residency and to staying engaged as an alum.

Applications open April 21, 2026 and close May 19, 2026. Shortlisted applicants may be asked to submit a short video; invitations to join the 2026 cohort by July 31, 2026. Apply via the provided Submittable link.
