Just FYI, it seems OISE interviews are going out for SCCP & CCP programs around now. It depends on the faculty members and many other factors, but you can likely expect to hear back within the following weeks. Good luck everyone!

Generally if you are short-listed in a school, there is a faculty member who is interested in working with you. At that point your chances are much higher to receive an admission, and as other posters have said, I don't think there are many cases in clinical where people receive an offer without first having an interview (online/phone/in-person). Also you say UBC is your dream school which is awesome, but also try to consider the faculty members & research area you want to work in. Grad students & profs alike will tell you like you need to focus on the professor almost more so than the school (obviously do your homework - research if it is accredited, good licensing rates, funding opportunities, livable city, etc.) and I would urge you to do the same! This would also take a lot of pressure of yourself for trying to get into a specific school when a POI might not even be accepting students that year.

Wanted to chime in that I've interviewed with every school I applied to in Canada except OISE whom I haven't heard from. As @chopper.wife said, it is probably PI-dependent, as they don't have an open house or strict internal deadline it seems. (Also have been encountering server errors, probably a temporary website issue.)
