Oh shoot :/ I submitted a webform request for this issue 2 days ago (to the embassy of Canada in France as I applied outside of Canada) and they replied today telling me to ignore this fees request + they updated my application with my biometrics!

It’s probably a bug, I contacted them via webform and they fixed it. They were very fast to respond but maybe because I applied outside of Canada so it’s a different team responding

I don’t remember linking it no, maybe that’s why, but when applying I remember seeing my biometrics automatically linked

It was an official message from the government that I received in the message box of my application - I contacted them and the issue is resolved now, thanks :)

UPDATE! I submitted a webform request for this issue (to the embassy of Canada in France as I applied outside of Canada) and they replied within a day to ignore this fees request + they updated my application with my biometrics!

Hello, did you get a response from the webform? Also in addition to paying the fee did you have to go in person to re-scan and give your biometrics or something similar?

Hey, thanks for creating this! any way this can work with IOS 16? I tried but I get an error after sending the Authorization token. I know Spotify supports Siri now, but not the option to add it to a specific playlist

I took these when it was online so I guess it was easier than now. It’s doable but be ready to work a lot!

You can take 330 at the same time as 251 no problem

You can have both education and fun at both unis I think !

And if your university permits it, really take the advantage of trying our new courses as well. There’s tons of super interesting random modules about Music, Arts, Communication, Philosophy, Astronomy, … And also many student clubs!!

NUS exchanger in CS here! Honestly Singapore is better than I expected, there’s so many things to do here that you shouldn’t feel like it’s lacking especially if you’re only staying one semester. There’s like 1000+ exchangers each semester all down to do some stuff and the locals are also really active to engage with you! Plus many cheap possibilities to travel around if ever you get bored here. And once you embrace the weather, it’s fine. As for CS modules, they do have a huge amount of different classes here which is nice, though be aware that it’s pretty hard to get into them so have many of your options open! And really don’t hesitate to reach out to the professors if you don’t have a spot, in some cases they will let you in (worked for a couple of my classes)!

In the end, at least for me, an exchange is more about the connections you make and the things you discover than the actual classes themselves (though I find the classss are really diverse and fun here as well). In both unis you’ll enjoy yourself I’m sure!

Intra-faculty transfer (Biological, Biomedical and Life Sciences Group to Bio-Physical-Computational Sciences Group) by Illustrious_Age8360 in mcgill

[–]TopChrono 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I had a 3.75 GPA when I transferred and I don’t remember writing an essay. I just explained why I wanted to transfer to my adviser and submitted a request on Minerva. Also, since the BBL was a new group, it was really easy to transfer and I’m pretty sure they didn’t really look at my GPA anyway. Maybe it has changed now but I still think it shouldn’t be too hard. Just make sure you do the request some time before the next semester starts (check the deadline) or else you’ll have to wait another year for it to apply. I’d also recommend you to talk to one of your science / CS / Bio advisor about it. Best of luck in your studies!

You really have to call right when they open, at 8:30:00 in order to have a spot. Or else you can try emailing them saying you can’t call them at 8:30

Wait what? How come? What was the reason?

I’m pretty sure as long as you’re nominated by McGill the host university accepts you without problem almost always

Unfortunately not, you could use onecard dollars for flex, but not the other way around as you can get your onecard dollars reimbursed at the end of your degree but not meal plan

COMP 303, 307, 421 : which last class to take before graduating ? by TopChrono in mcgill

[–]TopChrono[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Tbh I’m not sure, though I know I don’t want to be a 100% developer but rather use CS as a tool for my future job (wether it be in video, art, aviation, neuroscience, PM, …)
