Hi I'm relatively new to the forum, just wanted to say you should hopefully hear from Ryerson quite soon, I know they have been sending offers out for the advanced standing MSW since early March, just hang in there and dont lose hope.

Hi, any recommendations for any good Canadian social work books to read prior to starting the msw programme this fall, for example social work law etc. I know at undergrad level we did an open book social work law exam in the UK. Thanks in advance for any help.

Completely agree with your point about building ones resume but its good to know that if one works hard, there are opportunities out there.

I'm doing the msw to improve job prospects as CASW don't recognize UK social work degree so I cant register with Ontario college of social work. I have been researching job prospects in Canada, but as a native, do you think employment chances in the profession are improved with obtaining a msw? Hope you don't mind me picking your brain.

Just googled 'panhandling', we have that here in the UK to in places like London and Manchester.

Aww thanks for the reassurance. I'd be using public transport to get into Toronto from newmarket, bought a house there. Excellent news that you got in at UOfT, I missed the deadline for applying. I decideed on doing the msw late as CASW didn't recognise my UK social work degree, I recently submitted new evidence to them, so they may reconsider.

Hi, long story short, UK citizen with recent canadian pr status, so technically a domestic student. Currently working in UK as social worker. Canada seems so vast, I keep thinking i'll get lost in Toronto. I Will hopefully finish work in a few months and come over before uni starts. I've applied to York but have not heard back. In the unlikely event of them offering me a place, i will give up my place at ryerson and the deposit and take yorks offer. If you dont mind me asking which uni are you going to?

Hi, Advanced standing at Ryerson, accepted yesterday. Sooo nervous!
