  1. is the card waived for all 4 years or is it charged initially and then waived once we call or meet an advisor?
  2. I got approved so do i need to speak with the same advisors or can it be different?
  3. Is it possible to switch scotia advisors? I got approved for 300,000$ but I am unhappy with my current advisor and would love some help.
  4. If the government is sleeping and not taking any measures to prevent Canadian students from going jobless - already in pharmacy and dentistry...who knows maybe MD is next. This stupidity needs to stop. Its common sense that domestic graduates need to be protected from foreign students (DDS and other students) so the jobs stay. If the government continues to ignore this issue, they wont stay elected for too long. The residency issue in med is joke, when CMGs are going unmatched, we continue to take iMGs. I seriously urge POLICY MAKERS of caanada go visit Australia so they know how PROTECTIONISM really works...in Australia there are alogorithms that prevent any IMG from getting match until all Australian domestic grads are matched. First, I think no politician really knows whats goin on and 2) they dont care/dont consider it a bigger issue. This next election - the political leaders have to focus on these issues on their campaign. I think some common sense measures include; 1)stop granting DDS equivalence to countries outside of USA. 2) Ensure 100% match rate for CMGs and then give left over spots to IMGs. No dedicated IMG spots and a complete ban on having seats where both img and cmg can compete. 3)New policies to prevent pharmacy students from going jobless (no idea how).
  5. this is freaking stupid. Doug ford might change things maybe. i agree dental care is expensive but thats not the dentist's fault. the government needs to prioritize Canadian DDS students. The only country that should have equivalence is USA. Instead of granting equivalence to NZ, Ireland, UK and Aus. The government can just open some more Canadian DDS schools charging higher tuition requiring lower GPA/DAT scores.
  6. why cant the canadian government stop recognizing these foreign degrees? Canadian DDS rather than being cheaper doesnt seem to offer any other massive advantages. Even cost pales now because undergrad is needed and some foreign schools dont even ask for undergrad. Still tho, Canadian DDS will give u opportunity to practice in USA to make $$ without having to sacrifice 1 million$ in tuition.
