What do you guys do while waiting for ITCs or PFOs, other than navigating the law school and looking at your empty wallets while having a life crisis? Asking for a friend. Also, what is Oz - is it like strength to you like French "courage"?

If you scroll through these forums there are stories of people getting unexpected calls on call day. You never know until you get an explicit rejection.

If it's any consolation, you can get the in-firm without an ITC. On call day they'll go down the list and if people refuse (which happens more than you'd think) they go to their backups.  So I en

Anyone heard from Fasken yet?

You should specify what school you are looking for info from, release varies widely. I will say that I got an OCI from them at U of T and they never sent me an email.

I'm an NCA candidate with a question regarding the firms that have sent out ITCs for NCA candidates. So far, I'm aware of Stikeman and BLG. Does anyone have information on which other firms have sent out ITCs?

Haven't heard ITCs from most firms (BLG, Cassels, McCarthys, etc) - is this year unusual for sending out the emails? Oz here

The year I went through OCIs Mccarthys and BLG did not send out ITCs before OCIs. You just found out through your school's career services website. Both sent ITCs before in firms. I have no idea about Cassels.

What days are the remaining schools' OCIs on? Just wondering because I know some firms only send out ITCs after the entire OCI cycle is complete

Yeah they say this, but it isn't true. I know a few of those have given out ITCs already. I fell for the same thing last year.

If it's any consolation, you can get the in-firm without an ITC. On call day they'll go down the list and if people refuse (which happens more than you'd think) they go to their backups. 

So I ended up getting a call pretty late on call day from one of the firms on your list. No ITC (because I was essentially waitlisted) but got the in-firm all the same. 

So if you haven't gotten a PFO, it isn't over yet.
