It is important to understand that you cannot apply to a specific program. The system itself automatically calculates, based on personal characteristics, which ones you qualify for. This way you can be under 2 or 3 programs at the same time.
At the same time, when you meet the scores and an invitation to submit documents (ITA) arrives, the name of the program is indicated. In this case, you can accept the invitation, or refuse and wait for the next one.
