Do references only get emails after you submit your application through orpas?

This is a quote from the "Referee Requirements" subsection of the ORPAS website. Once the email is sent the reference status will change to "Email Sent." Hopefully this helps!

Once you add a referee, select “Send Email” to notify them about completing their online reference in a secure environment. If you provide an email address for your referee, they are required to complete the reference online.

Yess, I am familiar with that subsection, so I guess it is safe to assume that they do receive the email even before you submit the entire application. 

Also, for my transcript, I attended an Ontario school, and completed an online transcript request through the application. I therefore do not need to coordinate with my university to mail my transcript to orpas, is that correct? To my understanding once I submit the application and pay the appropriate fees then they'll arrange that on their end. 

 

Thank you !!
