Oh wow! I was hoping for an ITC from Gowling - they are one of my top choices. I guess I am out with them! Damn. 

Gowling sent you the ITC yesterday?

I'm not an Ontario student, so I guess the timeline is a bit different

OCI offers are released then, yes, but all employers can reach out to students to schedule in-firm interviews starting on the 25th.

I wouldn't worry about not hearing anything from firms who are participating in your school's OCIs. I don't know anyone who received ITCs from any of them last year. We all found out when the OCI schedule was released by the careers office.

So far for the 2L OCI summer recruit

ITC - Soloway Wright LLP & Caza Saikaley

PFO - BLG

Does anyone know precisely when firms will be informing students of ITC? If so, what is the deadline? Not a UofO student, hence not having this information from the careers office.

You should be getting that information from your cdo since they'll be setting up your OCI schedule.

cdo, meaning career development office? I actually believe that for out of province students, the firms set up interview invitations, not our CDO. I appreciate your input though, I will look into it.

Mmm... this is incorrect to a certain degree - OOP students do not ALL directly receive firm invites. For instance, McGill, Calgary, Dal, host Ottawa OCIs and they are OOP. Maybe your school just doesn't HOST Ottawa OCIs, if that's the case, than you'll have to wait till some firms are done conducting OCIs at all participating law schools since they would only be able to offer you in-firms.

Yes, CDO means career development office.

Spot on.

Does anyone know where we can find the list of interviewers for OCI's on Wednesday? I'm on The Source but I can't find a list of interviewers, despite getting my schedule.
