one year applicant!

Hey guys! So i actually joined the facebook group for MSW class of 2019. Right now everyone in the group is in the two year program, but as we are advanced we will join them next year to all graduate at the same time! The group is very active and helpful! https://www.facebook.com/groups/1875361996041031/?multi_permalinks=2038544556389440&notif_id=1521685055645063&notif_t=group_activity&ref=notif the group is called UofT MSW at FIFSW - Class of 2019

This morning I got an email from Laurier that their selection process is completed and that I can be waitlisted if I want to be. It says in the email that there are 35 spots for the waitlist and that you can be accepted from the waitlist until july 31 2018. you also have until March 20 to say if you would like to accept or decline to be on the waitlist. I did not notice any differences to my LORIS account. Hope this helps!

I applied to Laurier and have not heard anything. I do know of a friend who applied to waterloo and received her acceptance last week (Friday)

Congrats! I applied but have not heard anything. Mine still says Under review by department. Not sure if others still have this as well?

I mentioned this below but realized that I didn't directly respond to your post, I have not heard back from Laurier or Uvic, however yesterday, my status on ACORN changed to 'invited'. I do not see any other specific information and I haven't received anything in the mail yet. I did apply for the Children and Families stream so although I don't see specifically any info about this, I would assume that my "invited" status means that I was accepted into that stream.

Im with MCFD!

Hey Viclane96, Thanks!! So unlike in Ontario where CP is contracted to agencies (aka CAS), in BC all child protection jobs are directly from the provincial government which means you are employed by them and through the Ministry of Children and Family Development. There are different service delivery areas (aka regions) that you can apply for and then you get placed at an office (which ideally is close to where you live). I'm currently in Vancouver. While MCFD (ministry of children and family development) does work with Aboriginal families in some communities, there are also some Delegated Aboriginal Agencies that have full delegation to investigate child protection reports. Hope that clarifies things!

Hi all, I am a long time lurker of this page and thought I would offer some insight as I know how stressed everyone is and there have been some people asking the same question. I have applied to the advance standing MSW programs at Laurier, UofT and Uvic online. I have not heard back from Laurier or Uvic, however yesterday, my status on ACORN changed to 'invited'. I do not see any other specific information and I haven't received anything in the mail yet. I did apply for the Children and Families stream so although I don't see specifically any info about this, I would assume that my "invited" status means that I was accepted into that stream. For reference (and in the spirit of easing any stress) , I completed my BSW at UBC with a specialization in child welfare and pretty much all of my experience is with children and families. I am also currently working as a child protection social worker in BC and have been in this role since June 2016.
