[Ramandeep]

Applied for Master of Electronic Commerce on 27th December, 2013 and documents were received (reflected on their tracking system) on 10th Feb, 2014. What about you? Did you apply to any other University?

Ya bro. I am having acceptance letter from Concordia.
Shall I go with it or wait for Dalhousie?

Same here! I too have offer of admission from Concordia. Though I prefer it over Dalhousie but there's no harm in having multiple options

Pretty good stuff @Parul

I also had applied at UoA for the Internetworking programme. However was rejected in the pre-screening :|
Though I am interested in PR , education is equally important for me as I have over 4 years of exp and will be 5 if i join in Sept. So no point in taking up a course just for PR in my case.
Anyways u seem to have a great profile ...

Great!! Any reason for preferring Concordia over Dalhousie? I am really confused.

hello guys,

i had applied for inter networking and speaking of experience from that dept, it typically takes 3 weeks for an app to move to recommendation once all the docs are received and there on another 3 weeks for faculty of graduate studies to give approval and receive acceptance letter... like for they received all docs on jan 16 and got acceptance letter on mar 17.

Thanks for sharing ur experience.
In my case they didn't even updated my portal after receiving my documents. When I dropped mail to them, they told that my completed application is with evaluation committee. It will take 3-5 weeks.
Now 6th week is going on. Still no response.

Today I got an email back.

I emailed directly to my program, and I believe it was forwarded back to admissions.

The person let me know they mailed a letter to me asking what I've been up to since graduating my technical college back in 2008. If I've been working or attending another school, etc.

I'm not sure why I haven't gotten any actual letters in the mail (Maybe it takes awhile to send from Canada to where I live, but truly it shouldn't since I'm in the USA).

Anyway, my status was set to "Decision: Written Notification to Follow" on April 10th after they finally received my technical college transcript. Here's hoping there's more news in the future.

To anyone waiting for long periods of time with no news, try emailing the department for the program you are applying to. Say you haven't received any mail (snail mail) and would like to inquire about the application progress. Maybe you aren't getting any letters, too and maybe there's someone that will help you via e-mail.

Another small update:

Received mail inquiring about missing technical college transcript (Dated April 2nd, sent April 3rd), which means it took 11 days or so to get to me in the southeast United States. That means it'll probably take the same duration for me to get the letter inquiring about the gap between studies... I guess it's true why they call it "Snail Mail" but I just kind of thought being that the US borders Canada and that both locations are on the eastern side of the continent, that it wouldn't take 11 days. lol

Hey, I think u misunderstood my instituion bro. I have applied to Concordia University colg of alberta, which is a low ranked insitition, Some say its pvt insti as well, but offer letter says it puyblic, and it has been listed in list of recognised insti in alberta, and Canada govt site

I am going for a course Information security, and I have 20 months work ex in IT domain.

The course is itself offerd in just 2 universitities :
Concordia, Quebec
Concordia University collg of alberta, alberta

I am an indian student, and for me PR is more important, hence prefering a low ranked institute. No other choice

any suggestions are most welcome.

Whats ur profile by the way?

After inquiring about my application through email several times, they finally told me they have everything they need and will make a decision within the week.

Today, I logged into the Dal Portal to see the wonderful words "Decision Made: Accepted - Deposit Requested"!



I applied on March 6th, but it took several weeks for them to receive my transcripts (mail delays), and they requested information about the gap in studies. After all that was submitted, it really only took about 11 days for them to give me an answer.

When in doubt with Dalhousie, try calling or emailing (though email can take a week or so), it will be much faster than waiting on snail mail. I live in the United States and it's taken 11 days (or more) to just get a letter telling me there was a transcript missing. It'll make the process go faster if you call and ask if they need anything else.
