Haha thanks for the intel and I will check my Quest daily like a mad man! UWaterloo is indeed very research-oriented, so I'd say it is a bit tricky and personal for me to say anything. The co-op thing, however, is more in the undergraduate level I'm afraid...although the planning grad program requires a summer internship, it is probably not the same structure/scale as their famous co-op education. That said, if you prefer working and living in Ontario (like me), UWaterloo is an excellent starting point with lots of resources and recognition! Same goes to Queen's as you also pointed out. These two programs are both very well known in the planning profession in Ontario, some say even more than that in UofT. I didn't apply to Manitoba simply and mainly because its deadline was one of the earliest and I missed it lol. I don't have much intel about its planning program either so I can't give any insight. For me, personally, if I were genuinely very into something, I'll excel it very much easier 'cause I'll go above and beyond autonomously. And vice versa, regrettably. Of course not everyone is like me, though. Just my two cents.

Congratz!! Waterloo is a good one and I'm still waiting for their final decision. How are you prioritizing your 3 offers based on the info you're having now? For UWaterloo, have you met with a professor (presumably your potential supervisor) via ZOOM before the acceptance? Not sure if it's because I'm an int'l I met with mine recently. Still waiting for updates but I'm so anxious......

Thanks thanks will look that up! Hope we'll hear from other Canadian uni soon enough, too!

Just got an email from UBC for a video interview! One step closer!!

Thanks for letting me know! Finger crossed for all of us here...

Same. I also yet heard anything from UBC and UofT. The suspense...... Hope we can all hear some good news soon!!

I also applied to these 3 Haven't heard from any of them...

On the same boat......

I'm applying to a few Canadian universities for their planning programs as an international student. University of Toronto said their offer issuing dates are from mid-Feb till Mar. I've applied to Queen's as well, and it only says by April 1 will we hear from them...... The wait is torturing me, too. I feel ya

I'm from Hong Kong hahahaaa (laughing mirthlessly) I hope we will have a chance to meet up at UBC campus this Sep!

Thanks so much for your helpful info! UBC is indeed amazing The tricky part is I'm an international student from Asia, so I may need a lil more time to start the visa thingy... Anyway, I'll keep my head up and be a bit more patient. Congratz again!!

Congratulations! May I ask when did you receive this good news from UBC? Like very recently? I'm anxiously hoping to get admitted, but I was told to be still on their waitlist, twice already (this cycle)......

Congratulations!! I got their email too but I'm still on the waitlist. The long wait is killing me! Anyway, do you mind sharing when is your UBC offer acceptance deadline? I'd like to speculate on when might I hear back from them again......
