Program selection opens
Applicants are able to begin selecting programs where they wish to apply. CaRMS suggests that applicants read the program descriptions carefully to ensure that they have all of the required and up-to-date documents.
March 13, 2012
MCC Examination Milestone
All MCC examination information must be entered into the examinations section of AWS by this date, to ensure examination scores arrive direct from the MCC in time for the opening of file review. Please note, it is the applicant's responsibility to provide their examination results letter(s) if they wish to include this document as part of their MCC examination results.
CaRMS will continue to process examination information entered after this date, but cannot guarantee scores will be available from the MCC before file review, due to the time required for data processing.
March 16, 2012
Document arrival milestone
All documents, including letters of reference, should have arrived at the CaRMS office by this date, to guarantee they will be processed in AWS in time for file review on March 20, 2012.
CaRMS will continue to process documents that arrive after this date, but cannot guarantee they will be scanned before file review due to the volume of documents received.
March 17, 2012
Program selection milestone
Applicants should select and submit all programs they are interested in by this date to allow adequate time to assign all the necessary documents to each program.
Please note, applicants cannot submit their application to a program until they have completed and submitted all parts of the My Application section of AWS.
Applicants will still be able to select and submit to programs throughout the match cycle, but they must leave a sufficient amount of time to properly assign all required documents before file review begins on March 20.
March 19, 2012
Document assignment milestone
Document assignments should be completed by this date to ensure applications are as complete as possible for March 20, when file review begins.
CaRMS suggests that applicants review the program descriptions before this date to ensure they assign all the required documents. As some documents, including rotation and electives evaluations, may arrive after this date, CaRMS will continue to scan documents after the opening of file review and will actively notify programs when new documents are scanned into an applicant's file.
