That Guelph program seems cool! Never heard of it. Good luck with your coming admissions!

It does sound really cool! Its a brand-new program.  The first cohort was accepted last year

anyone heard anything from UBC?

For York applicants, in the portal it says no decision yet. But I saw that some people claimed that their status changed from no decision yet to under review. Should I contact the uni?

May I ask if your accepted schools in the US have 4/15 deadline to make a decision? 

sorry, I meant to reply to @MEESASOBOREDSA's post.

Pretty sure I'm in for a PhD at York as my status now reads "Admitted"..... anyone know who how we can view the letter? It says there should be a column that says I should see, "1.  Your offer letter can be found in "Admission Letters" in MyFile." but I do not see this. Perhaps it will help to get a notification from the grad coordinator later (quite surprised this didn't happen before the portal was updated). 

 

Hi, I just got recommended for an offer to University of Waterloo PhD program today. May I ask how long you have to wait for the official offer? Thanks!

They are usually pretty quick, I would expect just a couple business days!

Anybody heard back from Alberta or Victoria yet? I feel like I'm in their "maybe" piles since the portals show I'm still under review.

You should send an e-mail to UVİC. That's how I learned my rejection.

Sorry to hear that! I emailed them about 10 days ago and they said no decision had been made about my application even though some admissions and some rejections had already gone out. I might wait a bit more before emailing again.

Congrats!  Are you a domestic Canadian applicant or international?  I heard York is only accepting 1 international student.
