2026 Canadian SLP Admissions / Prep

[polly181920]

Hi everyone. In honour of Ontario offers being finalized, I thought I would get on it and create the forum for those of us applying next year to Canadian schools!

Hello all!

I'm an SLP and a researcher at the university of Calgary. I'm looking for volunteers this summer who are interested in speech language pathology-related experience. Here are the details of the role:

Seeking volunteers with a linguistics background to provide transcription services. Volunteers will prepare transcripts of recorded speech of research participants with Tourette syndrome for a research project being run out of the university of Calgary and the University of Alberta. The project seeks to understand the speech fluency and language of children with Tourette syndrome. A volunteer with a high level of attention to detail, excellent email communication skills, and an excellent independent work ethic will be a good fit for this role. You will work independently and be expected to follow ethics guidelines for privacy and confidentiality of research participants.

The role will require a minimum of 4 hours per week of dedicated computer time to complete transcriptions and a minimum commitment of three months. Only volunteers able to make the full commitment will be considered. This is not a paid position, but an honorarium will be offered based on the number of transcripts completed.  

Email angela.feehan@ucalgary.ca by May 23rd, 2025 to express your interest in supporting this project. 

 

Best,

Angela

I discovered SLP later in my degree and don't think I have the grades or experience to make it in the upcoming cycle but I'm giving it a shot to at least become familiar with the process!

Hello everyone! This is my first (and hopefully only😭) application round! I recently graduated but since my sGPA isn't as competitive as I thought (~3.6/3.7), I am thinking of either going back as a continuing student or taking online courses at Athabasca U since I want to work ft and focus on volunteering this year. I'd love to hear somebody's opinion on Athabasca or if you have any course recs I could take from there!

I also feel like I may lack a lot when it'll come to my statement of intent since I don't think I have enough experience in this field. I was planning on working on it this summer but got sidetracked due to some personal situations and it's been eating me up. I'm trying to stay calm and get back into motion little by little.

Hope y'all are enjoying the rest of your summer and good luck with this application round🙂

Hello!

Awesome to have a chat going for 2026 applicants. I will be applying to Canadian SLP programs (looking at Western, UofT, Mac) but lately have been interested in doing my masters in SLT abroad in the UK. Wondered if anyone new of any forums for SLP's overseas that I could take a look at:) I know Facebook groups are also common for this kind of situation but am struggling to find any so any info would be helpful!

Hope everyone enjoys the rest of their summer!
