I’m from Asia as well. I’m from India, where are you from? I totally get it, Visa is a hassle, if you wanna talk more or need sny help, do let me know.
I was waitlisted on March 25th, then on April 20th I received my offer letter. I was given time till May 1st to accept the offer, so I’m sure you’ll get more clarity after that. Good Luck, I hope you get in tho, UBC is amazing.
