Posted by FCA Clerkship,

Good morning everyone. Just to be clear, the FC/FCA/CMACC operate independently, and it's quite possible that you will receive an offer from multiple courts. However, you will only receive a single offer from each Court. You will have until 4pm on Friday to accept or decline, but if you decline, you will not receive another offer from the same Court. It's also important to keep in mind that although offers will start coming out at 3pm EST today, due to the complexities of rankings and judge

I received a call this morning for ONSC. It was around 9:00 am so calls were likely going out throughout the whole day. However, I'm not sure if all the spots are filled because I haven't seen any emails saying they're done making offers. 

Congrats!

Would you happen to know if offers go out in the same manner as the invitations for interviews? I know East region invitations went out very late and I was told that the invitations were sent out in waves depending on region. Wondering if it's the same with offers, especially considering East region interviews were only this week whereas Toronto was early February.

Hi everyone,  I figured it was time to pay it forward and contribute on here. I can speak to the SCC interview experience. Last year, interview offers came out over the course of two days, w

Thank you! I'm sorry, I'm not completely sure. But my guess is that they do it by region because it's just one person (Manager of Program Support) making all the calls. The call I got this morning was for the Central West region so it's entirely possible she hasn't gotten to making calls for the other regions yet.

All good. And that would make sense - I think Toronto and Central West were the first regions to get invites (I know someone mentioned getting Div Court offer yesterday as well), so I'm thinking you're right. I guess nothing to do but wait and see.

I was wondering if anyone who accepted an offer from the ONCA has received an email with more information/their official offer letter yet? I verbally accepted my offer on the phone but want to make sure I'm not missing anything! Thank you in advance.

I accepted on thursday, and haven't received anything yet, so I wouldn't worry.

Safe to say I'm probably out of the running for this year. Two years in a row now. I'll see if it's worth applying again next year.

FYI, if it helps anyone, got invited to new interviews at the FC today so I can confirm they truly are not done.

Worth two cents and not more + I have not been contacted for her specifically, but given the timeline I have seen with judges who were appointed in late 2023-early 2024, it would make sense if she hadn’t started!

In my experience, the administration also takes over for new appointees, she may wanna find people for both 2024-2025 and 2025-2026, so they may email you asking whether you would be available to start in August 2024 to create a mini pool for her, even before they start rolling out interview offers. 

Justice Blackhawk and Grant have interviewed for the 2024 cycle, at least (starting April, not August). I know one of the successful clerks who interviewed with both.

At another court, it took 3-4 business days + weekend before I received anything, so don't stress! That whole time I kept checking my call history to make sure I was not hallucinating 😆

I recall them saying it would be early this week. But they didn’t give me a specific day / time. 😮

So is FC still rolling out or is that process done too? I haven't received an email from the FC saying the hiring is done (like they did with the FCA), so I'm just curious

I believe last year a few interviews trickled out in late March/early April and then the Associate Judges interviewed for 3 spots in late May/early June--but things can change from year to year.

Do you think it's safe to say that if I interviewed over a month ago, that judge has already chosen their clerk?

I think the program coordinator would answer that question if you called tbh.

Are other people who accepted an ONSC offer on the phone still waiting for a follow-up email?

Yup, I am in the same boat. I asked the clerkship manager about written contracts when I accepted on the phone, and she said it would take at least a few weeks. So I would say nothing to worry about at this point.
