I had applied to UBC, UofT, UVic, UNB, SFU, U of Alberta, and York. I thought since I was an international student and a non-native English speaker, and that I was applying for an MA in English, I would have a better chance of getting into grad school if I applied to a variety of schools. So far I have received a letter of admission from UNB for an MA in creative writing. I was surprised to get a response only two weeks after I had submitted my app. I have been told that UNB offers one of the best creative writing progs in Canada. I'm not certain yet though.
I have also been rejected by U of Alberta, and I'm waiting out for other letters to come around.
