@dee722 Although I haven't heard about the UBC's program, to my understanding McGill took 1 to 1.5 months to send out initial offers. I would imagine that UBC's application pool is a bit bigger and they also have other facts the the GRE to consider as well. Through some serious hand waving, I would guess it would take them a couple months after their deadline. So maybe early to mid march? Probably not the most direct answer, but it might put things into perspective for you. Either way I wish you luck! Cheers.
@victoriaaa, I've spent several weekends in Montreal and although French is the primary Language used in Quebec, most people in Montreal can speak English, at least a bit. I have found that the further you move away from Montreal, the more likely you are to encounter people who cannot speak English. With respect to finding employment, I'm sure you'll be able to find employment on campus or downtown without much issue. Cheers
@Pahi Craislist is the best! McGill also has their own website for off campus housing (link below), I would also recommend looking there. Kijiji is okay, but mostly a bunch of re-posts from craigslist. Good luck! https://www.mcgill.ca/students/housing/offcampus
@EmPeeAych Did you apply for the professional program (practicum based) or the master of science (thesis based)? To my understanding a lot of the professional programs don't really have interviews.
First round of offers from McGill should be out!
I just got an offer of acceptance to McGill's MScPH program last week. I will be looking into moving to Montreal this summer; If any students also accepted in the program are planning to move to the city and are looking for a room mate, let me know. Cheers
