Sure! A few reasons are 1. Depth and breadth of course offerings- more required courses than the other programs, option to take additional electives, the range of required courses touch on a variety of topics important to me, and between the required courses and elective offerings I can focus on quantitative skills 2. location (volunteer/research opportunities and plenty of practicum choices in van if I don’t want to relocate for the summer) 3. Capstone- I don’t want to do a thesis and I think this is a great alternative 4. They offered funding 5. Social justice perspective. This is a big one for me personally and career wise, although if you want a purely quantitative career it may not be as important
if you'd like to discuss further feel free to message me, good luck w your decision!

My Guelph portal was updated to admitted but I haven’t received any emails so might be worth checking for those waiting!

Hey heres a link for mcgill grad housing https://www.mcgill.ca/students/housing/fees-applying/graduate-downtown-fees  I paid about $500/month for my room off campus near mcgill. Student housing tends to cost more than off campus.
Just be aware that Quebec has its own immigration rules which can complicate things. I think you can study in Quebec and then afterwards if you want to immigrate to any province other than Quebec you apply for PR under a federal immigration program, but if you want to immigrate to Quebec then you'd have to get approval through their provincial immigration first then the federal program. Not 100% about that but I'm dealing with a Canadian PR application right now and those are the rules in my category, so I don't think where you study matters but you'd have to consult the official immigration websites

Hi @anoroC I've lived in Montreal and its super affordable if you're worried about money and you don't need to speak French! I wouldn't worry about rankings as they don't really matter in Canada (especially between UBC and McGill). But if your main concern is getting PR, maybe research if living/having residency in one province is advantageous over the other in terms of immigration when you apply for PR after your masters? I thought the return of service agreement is based on which province you do the residency training, not where you get your masters but i don't know much about that aspect. Good luck

Hey! There is an application status button under Quick Links or below step 6. Doesn't give much info but I imagine this is where you'd see an update once a decision is made

Based on past threads it seems like the earliest for Queens is mid March and Guelph late March/early April, slooooowly getting there!

Hey everyone, with applications all submitted now I ended up applying to UBC, SFU, Guelph, and Queens. Anyone else for these programs?
