Mail the Program coordinator for application fee waiver.

Are you for Undergraduate or Postgraduate? And when did you submit your application form ?

drhammed:


Steps for McGill is closely similar but not the same.

For McGill (Masters)

You contact the department you intend to apply to and seek nomination for MCF scholarship.

They will request for your credentials and forward it to department.

After review, department will contact you as whether you have been nominated for MCF or not.

If you have been nominated, MCF will confirm your eligibility and guide you to apply to McGill with fee waived.

Note: The nomination is done by a professor in the department you're applying to. Hence you don't have to contact them yourself.

I attached list of Program eligible for funding by MCF.

This was the message I got from McGill.

Cheers.

So, I followed this procedure and was told that my application for nomination has been forwarded to the appropriate department and that I'll be contacted shortly when they reach a decision concerning the application.

I'm yet to receive a response and they seem to have a December 1st deadline.

Am I missing something here?

Nothing but to sit for the Exams painful, but an immigrant explained why they do so, and I think I see reasons why.

You're not missing anything, you will have to wait for their decision.

Although, the nomination of a thing seems somehow to me. I doubt the credibility of such process

Yeah. I'm beginning to feel that way too.
How do you choose from a pool of applications who to nominate with just their transcripts and curriculum vitae?

I did not think the nomination would take this long or undergo such scrutiny, I would've beefed up my CV some more. I was only gunning for the actual application for scholarship and essays.

Any which way, let's see how it goes!

Please could someone help me out. I am done with UBC's nomination package for undergraduate and I have completed the online application. I have a problem to submit it. According to the nomination package they said that after filling the online application , save it and submit and fill the last form , after which your application would be waived. But I can't submit without paying the application fee. Please could someone help me out.

That isn't correct you can take the TOEFL exam in designated centres nationwide, just check the official website, and I think there's a thread here too solely focused on the exam search for that also.
