garceyues Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 Is this normal for verifiers to be contacted this early in the cycle? Only one of mine has been contacted so far to my knowledge, but is this a red flag or anything if it is occuring this early on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruh Posted October 13, 2019 Report Share Posted October 13, 2019 No. Don't worry. Many others have had their verifiers contacted, some of mine as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken man Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 Funny, I thought of it as more of a red flag if you verifiers weren't being contacted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinzler Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 Any Ontario applicants care to chime in? None of my verifiers have been contacted yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of my verifiers were contacted in 2017/18 cycle and I received an interview to Calgary and Ottawa. This stuff doesn’t mean anything.

None of my verifiers were contacted for those two schools. I didn’t apply to UofA then. I applied this year to UofA and have had one of my verifiers contacted so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of my verifiers have been contacted yet I am an Ontario applicant and I have had two verifiers (1 employment & 1 volunteer) contacted today. I wouldn't worry it is so early in the cycle. This is my second time applying, last time I had several verifiers contacted in November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just waiting for GPA to be released now. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zxcccxz Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 One of my verifiers notified me today that they had been contacted. Edit: another just notified me that they'd been contacted as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contacting 16 seems excessive but I've already had 6 contacted... Some of them only know me from a distance as coordinator of volunteering (not even the current one because the past one retired) so can't really fill out a whole box as to why I'm fit to be physician.. If they wanted essentially 16 references they should have explicitly stated so, verifier imo should be someone who just confirms the activity and hours. Yeah it's been a mission and a half getting messaged by verifiers about what to write all day. Conversely, if a verifiers doesn't respond before the deadline, will UofA let me know or disregard that activity? AKA should I be messaging all of my verifiers right now to check their emails?

clash_of_ideas Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 I’m supposed to meet with one of mine soon. He mentioned it’s reference style? Do you know what the form actually asks... I just want to know what I’m going into since I don’t know him very well. I had initially told him it’s for verifying my role and hours ....

I'm going to assume they will disregard that activity. I couldn't think of any reason other than verifiers not completing the form for having such a low activity score last cycle.

It seems unlikely to me that they would just disregard it without verification. If one verifier doesn't respond out of 15 lets say, I don't see them doing that unless they made multiple attempts to contact the verifier in addition to contacting the applicant.
