I'll know by the end of this month if I got accepted to take part in my second international conference as a master's student. The first one was in my hometown, but this one would be in France. I'm finger-crossed. But they've received more than 400 applications

McGill University, Université de Montréal (UdeM) and Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM). They are all located in Mtl, Qc.

I found the ruler, will work on this asap!

Hello, so I have to write a literature review for my Women's Studies theory class. Is a lit review in women's studies any different than a literature review in other disciplines? Just want to make sure. I am also going to meet with the Women's studies librarian to get a bit of help on this.

I just downloaded the latest version of Word and for some reason I don't see the ruler. I guess that's where my problem comes from.

Thanks. I just spoke with a professor, and he said that all my community work that I have been doing since I was a teenager also counts. So I would definitely have more than 2 years of experience. Yay! He also mentioned that there is a lack of diversity among social work professors at the current moment and that who I am and the things I do would be an added value to the profession.

Hello everyone, just tried it and I get the same issue. I want to create a border all around this text but whenever I try to do it, I get multiple boxes that aren't aligned.

Hello everyone, sorry for the late response. I am working on this at this very moment with all of your advice. Will tell you if it works. Thanks again!

Hello everyone, I am currently a MSW student, feel free to ask me questions, especially if you're from Qc, I was accepted in all three universities I applied in. Good luck everyone!

Yes the Masters Award.

My first respondant sent my LOR for FRQSC but my second hasn't and I wonder how many days before the deadline should I send her a reminder. It's the only thing I am missing in my application at this point.

Hello everyone, I am considering more and more seriously applying for a PhD in Social Work next year. I live in Qc, and I have a CEGEP degree in social intervention. Along with my BSW, I was able to accumulate 2-3 years of work and field experience, on and off. When applying for a PhD and considering teaching positions, would that previous experience count? Or does it have to be "registered social worker, post-BSW" experience only? I am officially a social worker, member of a professional order since this summer but I am currently working as a research assistant. Thank you!

In the Common Canadian CV website, for FRQSC, it shows "valid" now that I've entered my FRQSC info in it. Is there any more steps that I need to do for this part or am I good?

It went well.

Anyone in PhD or master's program can share their experience in their programs? Thanks.

Hello! My supervisor has a research chair and I've been involved in the work that she's been doing since April. Tomorrow, I am presenting (3 minutes and informally) to her co-researchers and the whole research team and I am a little intimidated. I've never met these people before. I've done talks and speeches before in the past (my biggest audience was 4000 youth) but the prestige that these people have intimidates me. I am also scared to present in front of my own supervisor, I want to make a good impression in front of her. I know I'll survive through it, my research coordinator will also be there in case they ask questions that I do not know the answer to, but this is the first time I am doing this and I am sightly nervous even if it's just a 3 minutes presentation.

Thank you for your thoughtful advice. <3

Hello, it isn't for prestige that I want to leave Canada. It is because I want to see what's being taught elsewhere and make new connections. In SW, there's a big tension between clinical social work and macro/advocacy social work and I find that Qc isn't very strong on macro social work which is more of my type of social work.

Hello, Thank you for your reply. Yes, my goal is to become a college or university teacher in social work. I forgot to mention that I have a college degree that I got prior to my BSW. It was in the same field and it has allowed me to work with victims of violence & families of the youth protection system while I was studying and after I graduated from it. I did that for roughly 2-3 years on and off.

Hello everyone, I am in my first semester of my MSW and I've been encouraged by a prof to pursue PhD studies in social work. I am considering it more and more seriously I have to admit. Even if graduate school is a lot of work, I'm so happy that I get to learn something I'm really passionate about and I am realizing that graduate school fits a lot with my personality and interests. So if I'd start a PhD, it would technically be during the academic year of 2019-2020 and I would be applying next Fall (2018). However, my first language is French. I did my entire university studies in English but since I live in Qc, students have the right to submit written work in French. That's what I did all along and managed to graduate with Distinction for my BSW. I have two concerns though. The first one is English as a second language. I am taking an English class right now to improve my academic writing in English but the class is too easy, I am not learning anything that I already know and I find it disappointing because I want to be challenged in terms of my writing. The other concern is since I would like to study out of my province (either the US or another canadian provinces) what financial options are available to me? I come from a low income family and both of my parents do not have university degrees and they cannot support me financially with my education even if they'd like to. Uni in Qc is cheaper, but I would like to get a new kind of academic and professionnal experience. So two questions: for those of you who wrote an entire PhD thesis in English when English is not your mothertongue, was it hard? And second, what are the financial options for me to study internationally or across Canada? I will definetly apply to Vanier and Trudeau next year but I wonder if there are any other options since my family cannot support me financially and since I'd be living on my own for the first time ever. Thanks.

When I was considering doing my MSW in Ottawa, I visited the school many many months before even applying. The university covers fees for transportation for out-of-town prospective students. It's never too early I'd say!

Thank you so much! <3

I have just included the references I have used in my proposal, not more than that. It has to be on one page (for master's program.)

I will try this. Thank you so much!!!

Hello everyone, I am so sorry because this will probably come across as off-topic. But I've asked and looked everywhere and I don't know how to get help with this and it is driving me crazy. Does anyone know how to make frames around paragraphs in Word (like one frame with one paragraph and then another frame with another paragraph following it) without it looking all messy and all over the place. I've been watching tutorials online to do it and it's not working, the result is not user friendly. I've been trying to do this for days, literally and I am ripping my hair out because it doesn't look right. I am trying to do some "cards" with information on different programs for a research project. But this is what it gives me everytime I try to do it. http://i68.tinypic.com/27zbrpc.png And I have more than a hundred pages like this, I cannot do it on a seperate document for each one of these programs. I have a table of content that I've been able to put up. I can click on an element in the table of content that would redirect me to the specific "card" in the word document. Do you see what I mean? And some programs are being described on more than one page. I have to give this to a professor and I don't want to give it to her now because it's just a mess. I want it to be user-friendly for her because there are tons of pages in this document. Thanks for anyone who will help. I find this so frustrating.
