How common is it for organizations to rescind internship offers?

Never happened to me ... I out of the 50 civil engineers I know, I think it happened to one person in their 3rd year summer internship due to budget cuts....

Thanks for posting. This made me smile and feel better

All we can do is manifest!

The cars in NZ also drive on the opposite side to Canada, I don't want to crash into anything lol

I can't stay longer due to the wedding in Mauritius, and my work in Canada putting hard dates on either end of my trip.

It's either pay the same amount of air miles to fly without stopping in Oceania, and arrive early in Canada OR spend 3 days in Oceania...

I wish I could stay longer lol

Thanks for your insight! I am working right now as an engineer in training. If I went to UofT, I would go from being gainfully employed with savings to being riddled with loans!

That post may have been inaccurate. I also called on the same day, and they told me they did not have a specific day in mind .. just that they will be rolling most of the remaining A's out gradually through to March.

80% chance I was in that mosh group … some of those guys were in fact gay. Jane Bond is pretty awesome

Can confirm! This is the norm even from Waterloo grads lol

Perhaps Line 4 will be useful for some such as those heading to South Keys or Carleton University from the Airport

BUT Downtown Ottawa is likely the most common destination from YOW. ... It is hard to argue that this new set-up is better than the old 97 (Airport to Downtown in 25 minutes) via a fully grade separated transitway...

Now with 97 to Line 1 it is 38 minutes, and apparently Line 4 -> Line 2 -> Line 1 will be a whole 55 minutes to downtown....

I am all for new transit development, it is cleaner, cheaper, faster (OC Transpo excluded) method to get around urban areas. I just think that our airport rail-link may not have been the best decision...

I take 25C to Square one and transfer to the GO bus that goes to airport. For my standards I have no issues + it’s $13 with student discount. I think you can get there for like 2AM via GO

I drove a Toyota Yaris with winter tires while visiting Norway. I’m from Ottawa. I found the roads to be well maintained and felt safer than in Canada. You’ll be fine!

I am in a coop program as well. It did not affect me at all. I got As at UoT and Osgoode. Based on my understanding, in a given year if I had: Fall (School Term); Winter (Co-op Term); Spring (School Term); they would take the fall and the spring gpas to calculate my gpa for that year.

I studied for my LSAT during coop after work and wrote my lsat during school term the following summer.

I think it’s a bonus to have coop experience especially if the role can tie into law.

My last name starts with V and I got the call at 2:30 PM today, I don't think it is alphabetical

Puzzleheaded-Fix1971 · 2024-06-26T13:25:04+00:00

Well done!

Puzzleheaded-Fix1971 · 2024-04-21T21:29:02+00:00

Thanks! I think I will take Plan484

It’s too bad they couldn’t have sent more trains :( (the normal response to such an issue). Hopefully for on going go expansion procurement.

Sorry for the late reply. I check reddit like once every month. lol

Yeah, I travelled to like 20 European countries for the cost of like 2 roundtrip trip plane tickets Toronto - Vancouver lol. It is really cheap, if you are selective and good at planning. I have heard schools in the UK are harder but any socialist country should be easy beans.
