My initial first choice was New Brunswick Community College (NBCC) and Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC) for the schools.
I initially sent my school documents to my education consultant in IDP Philippines last October 28, 2020. They replied to me after 10 days requesting for consent forms. I immediately sent it last November 9. The plan is for them to apply to NBCC on my behalf.
However, their documents person replied only on November 13. During this time, I checked and the course that I wanted is now on waitlist. My education consultant inquired with NBCC and they replied that I can choose another course that is still open. This actually placed me in a dilemma.
I consulted IDP and they provided me another set of school options. Among the schools, I chose Cape Breton. I was actually interested in the university when I searched for it before. On the other hand, NBCC also suggested to check their other programs that are still open.
This was my timeline:
- Dec 2 - applied to NSCC on my own since the college was not part of IDP's roster of school clients.
- Dec 6 - applied to NBCC on my own as well. My IDP informed me during this time that their website is often down. Their website included a notice regarding this. So when I checked and was able to get in, I immediately applied. My program was on waitlist but I went ahead anyway.
- Dec 9 - my IDP consultant applied to CBU on my behalf, She also arranged to waive the application fee.
- Dec 16 - took my computer-based IELTS
- Dec 18 - received my test results online (Passed! 👆 )
- Dec 23 - received hard copy of my results and immediately uploaded to CBU. Also forwarded the same to IDP so they can forward to NBCC
- Dec 23 - requested for a copy to be sent to NSCC
- Jan 5 - received Letter of Acceptance (LOA) from CBU!
- Jan 13 - Inquired with IDP on NBCC. She informed me that I am on waitlist for both campuses 😔 I am on rank 40+. Given this and the slim possibility to get in, I removed NBCC from my option.
- Jan 22 - Received LOA from NSCC!
