I didn't apply, I was just curious - all of the programs do it a bit differently

Did they announce they were doing interviews this year? Which program at UCalgary? The counselling or the school psych?

I also want to pipe in on the holiday break. I'm a current program student and I can tell you my advisor(s) started emailing me back today, late afternoon - for things that I emailed over the break and ongoing things that need some pretty urgent attention. They are JUST getting back to their computers and have to play catch up with the 12 000 emails they missed and get their bearings. Likely admission committees will be coming together soon - but often the actual POI you are hoping reads your application and reaches out to you doesn't even know your application exists yet. It has nothing to do with your application, they just aren't there yet. Give it some time. Then the whole fiasco with omicron and lots of schools have shifted online, some activities had to apply for exemptions for in-person, last-minute faculty meetings to figure it out. It's a mess. It will take a hit on delaying everything. I truly do get how anxiety-inducing this waiting limbo season is - I don't anything has remotely compared to how anxious I felt this time last year, but I hope this helps at least one person even feel a little better.

I'm in a program currently, our orientation to the university was for all graduate students in june virtually - then the program specific orientation was the week before classes started. A lot of students arrived within only a couple of days of the classes starting and missed the orientation too - I think there is no expectation to be there until your program officially starts - but also maybe plan for some time to move and adjust to your new living environment before classes are thrown at you.

Last year it was around the end of January that interview invites, or emails for less formal interviews from the PIs went out, and acceptances began early February but also went on until March. It is a tense time of waiting, good luck to everyone!

Mine did this too, then still gave me a confirmation code. I went to upload it and got an error saying to reupload it. I didn't change anything but reuploaded it and all the red text went away. not sure why.

I am working on my CGS-M application and wish I could find an example of how others have completed this? I'm applying to CIHR and have finished my CCV - but I just question every single thing I write. This is so intense. I have no idea if I'm competitive or what the average applicant has going into this app.

Also curious how it will play out this year and if the surge from last year is a new precedent or a one off.
