   You might also be able to contact the health services in your province. I'm from Alberta, so it might not be the same but I've contacted Alberta Health Services and they are able to provide me with a full record of all immunizations I've had.

   I wouldn't worry about your references being contacted or not, one they got to the interview stage everyone is on an even playing field so anything in the supplemental application doesn't matter after that. I don't think either of mine were contacted...

   From what I remember at the interview, the woman who did our orientation mentioned they would start sending them out in about three weeks, although now that I think about it I'm not sure if she meant three weeks from that date (April 10th) or three w...

   My guess is they'll start sending invitations out next week, I remember from reading last years thread that the first invites were sent out around March 25, but some people didn't get an invite until April. It seems like it can take a while to send o...

    I've done a bit of research on this as well, and from what I've read it seems the job situation isn't great anywhere in Canada, and for new grads it seems like the easiest way to get hired is the place you do your preceptorship in your last year. I w...

    Hey Kirota, I think being the first of your family to graduate university definitely counts. I think for that section you can put down almost anything as long as you make sure to put what you took away from it. For mine, I wrote about getting my BSc ...
