    Your best bet would be on university career sites in your area! When I was applying, I just searched "University of x jobs" and you will typically find opportunities there. If you live in an area with research hospitals (CAMH for example has TONS of research assistant jobs), then that's also a good bet! Again not sure if others have different experiences, but from what I've seen, it's harder to find paid employment by emailing labs or PIs directly because if they had the funding, they would probably have posted a job haha. But if you wanna get some volunteer experience under your belt/can't find anything paid, I've had a lot of success emailing labs and asking if they need volunteers! :)

    Thank you!! I will definitely try that

    I took a couple years off before starting my current master's program and I remember starting to apply [to psych lab research positions] around March/early April to avoid the rush of graduating students who will also be looking at the end of April/early May. Not sure what everyone else's experiences have been but I would def recommend applying formally around then. I honestly think any time starting now-ish is totally reasonable to start feeling it out by reaching out to potential places you'd like to work! It's worth it to see if they anticipate having positions/if these places are even a fit for you? 

    Is there anywhere that you recommend looking for these positions? I've been looking around, but haven't seen any postings. Do you just email the labs to ask, or do they typically post somewhere?

    Anyone heard back from Western? Interviews are in two weeks, and with only 3 faculty recruiting (1 of which I know might not recruit at all), I wouldn't be surprised if Western end up not taking any students this year. 

    How do you know when the interviews are? Is this posted on their website?

    Anyone else having a severe case of the waiting anxiety? I applied to only two programs and am starting to freak out that I should've broadened my application a bit more. 

    Also freaking out! It is so hard to stay patient, I was really hoping to hear back from at least one program this past week. Hopefully some of the programs will start sending out more interview invitations next week!

    For those that applied to York, did your application status changed to "No Decision Yet- Currently Under Consideration"? I'm still waiting for one of my reference to submit. The deadline is tomorrow. I'm afraid they might start reviewing before it arrives 

    Yes, mine changed to that a week ago!

    I have 2 questions:

    1) There was no grading scheme included with my unofficial transcripts. Is this ok lol 

    2) Just found out I might want to work with a prof at Lakehead. Might have decent research fit but kinda iffy on fit at this point (haven't had chance to meet and discuss). I could apply now, but I've already missed the OGS deadline. I didn't apply for CGS-M with Lakehead either. Is it still worth it to apply? 

    2. I would say to go for it! Might as well apply where you can. You can always decide later on to not attend the school (if the research fit turns out to not be good).

    It depends on the school. Some will use your admission application ref letters (Queen's) and others ask you to submit additional reference letters (Windsor). IDK about Waterloo but I'd write to the funding department to ask.

    Thanks! Do you happen to know about Western or Guelph? :)

    I'm already attached to the study team I want to work with as a volunteer RA position, so I'll plan to really immerse myself into it and get as many hours and involved as I can and reapply next year. It could be a blessing in disguise in that I'd have the freedom to work on any project that interested me and cast my net wide. Really it could be a freeing year. 

    Like I said, the swings are just wild right now between potential and preemptive devastation and total acceptance.

    Thats what I'm tempted to do, I just have to figure out what to do about money for a year lol
