I've been hearing that we're not really going to hear back until Sept 29, is there a source for this somewhere? I got PFO'd by Davies weeks ago but radio silence otherwise.

Replying to myself: It's on the Source's guide to Toronto OCIs. The rest of the timeline is up too, though step 12 is wrong (it says our call days are Nov 9, but it's actually earlier than that). 

PFO Goodmans.

PFO Stikemans. Starting to feel a bit demoralized since this was one of the firms I was most interested in. 

I feel you on that one.

They should be on the "OCI" section as long as you've made your record with each firm. If you haven't, I advise contacting the career centre immediately. (I'm not sure if you only applied for the DOJ or also firms)

I really thought I would've been considered an amazing candidate but only received 2 OCI offers... does anyone know what is the average # of OCIs people get?

From what I gather, the average uOttawa applicant will apply to around 20-30 firms and receive 6-8 OCIs. Assuming you have above-average grades, took time to polish your resume and cover letter, and applied relatively broadly, 2 OCIs seem low. I would contact Career and Professional Development to make sure nothing slipped through the cracks.

Just wondering if there's still a chance to hear back from firms before the October 19 deadline? Got an email from an admin account on October 11 from a firm saying they'd be in contact shortly and still nothing. Would appreciate any input, thank you.

No worries!

ITC: Intent to call - meaning they have the intention to call you on Call Day (October 28th)

PFO: Please fuck off - they will not be moving forward with you.

Thanks so much! Would you say that firms are done sending out interviews offers now by chance? I posted earlier today curious about an email I received and just wanted some feedback on it before I get my hopes up lol

Not at Ottawa but I know there are a number of firms that still have to send out ITCs. Absolutely too soon to be worrying.
