Individual programs decide which applicants they want to interview. If you are invited for an interview, your invitation will come directly from the program – most likely by email. Programs will also notify you whether or not you have been selected for an interview on the Interview Offer Status page in your CaRMS Online account, so you’ll know if you should expect to receive an interview invitation by email.
CaRMS collects and posts the dates programs will hold interviews on an interview schedule you can access within CaRMS Online. We do this to help prevent conflicts between faculties. If you are invited to more than one interview and the dates conflict, you can contact the programs directly to make alternate arrangements.
