The University of Toronto Department of Political Science website lists the requirements for completing a PhD:
- Field 1 (Canadian Politics: 2012-13)
- Field 2 (Public Policy: 2013-14)
- Qualitative Methods Requirement (2014)
- Quantitative Methods Requirement (waived from undergrad and Oxford MPhil coursework)
- Field Examination in Field 1 and Field 2 (February 2014 and January 2016)

- Thesis Proposal (August 29th, 2017)
- Language Requirement (waived from undergrad coursework and Summer Language Bursary Program)

It hasn’t exactly followed the ideal schedule, but I have done quite a few other things at the same time.
The aim now is to get ethical approval by October and finish writing and defending the dissertation by September 2019.
Thank you for outlining the requirements
I look forward to following you in this journey
All the best going forward on this exciting journey.
