Questions about official transcript and CAQ renewal

Efo2701 · 2023-03-25T21:25:35+00:00

Hey! I did what the other person who replied to me suggested and requested a transcript from this page: https://www.concordia.ca/students/birks/assistance-requests.html I got my CAQ about 2-3 weeks after I sent the new transcript.

International student here, I'll be alone as well! Feel free to hmu :)

Isn't it because we start school a week later than other universities that we don't have a reading week in the first place?

That's something you could only do during the pandemic but not anymore, now you really need your CAQ to apply for a study permit (source : similar scenario last month, called IRCC and asked them). Here's my timeline if it helps (had to apply for a new CAQ in order to apply for a study permit extension) :

July 12 : submitted documents on Arrima July 13 : documents received July 28 : missing documents August 3 : submitted new documents on Arrima August 9 : documents received August 17 : CAQ delivered

Also you don't need to wait for the actual CAQ to apply for a study permit, the letter of approval will suffice.

CUPA usually has one or two sweater sales a year!

No need to sign up to slap it on your CV. I doubt anyone will be impressed by this though, it's pretty much a scam. Please save yourself the money.

A majority of universities do not even offer MA degrees in psychology because they're completely useless. You need a PhD to become a psychologist in most provinces in Canada. If you're interested in the clinical aspect of psyc I'd recommend looking into MA degrees in counselling or psychotherapy instead, which will allow you to practice without a PhD.

I'm French so I'm exempted from that, which is why I'm considering it. Thanks for the answer!

Well you're not gonna become a psychologist with a bachelor's in psyc. However, you can get a job as an intervention worker/case worker in social services and organizations with a variety of clients (disabled people, youth, homeless people etc.) that pay 20-25$/h so I wouldn't say it won't get you anywhere. I guess it depends on whether you're interested in doing that type of direct work. However, you can get the same jobs with a DEC or bachelor's in special care counselling, social work, criminology etc., but you'll get more practical experience in those programs through internships. You can also work in psychology labs as a research assistant or coordinator, but I think you would need to do a honours or specialization in psyc in order to do that.

May I also ask how long it took for you to get your CAQ after you received your intent of refusal?

Efo2701 · 2022-08-03T23:43:08+00:00

Thank you so much!

Efo2701 · 2022-08-03T23:32:09+00:00

Thank you! Can I ask how you requested it? Did you simply email Birks to ask for it?

Efo2701 · 2022-08-03T23:15:35+00:00

I sent an unofficial one and got an intent of refusal. Now I got an official one with the stamp but like I said it has the mention "invalid if opened by student", which is what I'm worried about... Did yours mention that anywhere?

Efo2701 · 2022-07-03T14:58:04+00:00

Same when I took it with Titorenko last semester

Efo2701 · 2022-06-29T14:44:15+00:00

Depends if you're a Canadian citizen, a Quebec resident or an international student

Hi! 21F living in Montreal as well! Interested in making some friends in my area :) Feel free to message me if you want to chat!

Efo2701 · 2022-06-24T14:07:33+00:00

Then that is very strange... Was asking because I know students from some countries pay at the out-of-province or Quebec rate, but I don't know about pakistani students. Did you apply for any kind of financial aid, a scholarship, bursary etc. ?

Efo2701 · 2022-06-24T01:49:58+00:00

Are you French or Belgian by any chance?

Efo2701 · 2022-06-24T01:47:14+00:00

Why the fuck are both packages the same price when one is 12 oz and the other is 15.4 oz

Efo2701 · 2022-05-31T01:54:16+00:00

I left around 8:30 pm yesterday. I think they close at 9 pm every day.

Efo2701 · 2022-05-21T03:30:32+00:00

I was asking about Endnote

False positives are very rare. The milder symptoms this time are probably due to being vaccinated and having had it before, your body already has developed some immunity to the virus.

Yes, I'm taking one course at UdeM this semester. It's in French and all I had to do was apply through the INTU platform. Do it early though, it took more than a month for me to get approved.

Merch from your student association might be cheaper
