cbook Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Hey there, OOP applicant here. One of my references was just contacted today! Does this mean I passed the MMI, or do they contact references at random? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hades Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Wow that is early. They do start contacting OOP references earlier than IP. This does mean you have passed the interview, best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thuls.m Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 Hey, OOP here and one of my references was contacted today as well!! Quick clarification, this just means we passed the interview but the top 60% passes right? So I shouldn't actually take this as a reason to celebrate quite yet? And yeah I'm nervous too now!!

Hades Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Do you know if they contact all OOP references at the same time? Im not a 100% sure, but as far as i know, i dont think its on the same day for OOP. For IP it is on the same day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you should not be celebrating just yet. As pessimistic as I sound, OOP is very competitive and passing the interview doesn't mean a whole lot.

jill556 Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 So IP aren't all contacted on the same day then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorbix Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 References are almost certainly contacted over a period of a few days if not more than a week. To try and contact two references for hundreds of people in one day would be impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To try and contact two references for hundreds of people in one day would be impossible. I thought that references were first contacted by email to set up a phone interview, which in my mind can be done in a single day. Obviously I'm just guessing, so thanks for clearing that up.

Hades Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 They have begun contacting IP references. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jill556 Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 I guess at this point if they're contacted its just a guarantee that we passed the interview... sure they'll be working on contacting references well into April? Trying to not read too much into it yet, as mine haven't been contacted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etudie Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 One of my references was contacted yesterday. For those also contacted I'm wondering what time slot you interviewed and what your last names first letter is - trying to determine if there's a certain order they contact in. I interviewed at 9:30 Saturday and last name starts with a B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etudie Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 A second one of my references was contacted recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saskatoon Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Anyone know if its an automatic rejection if they can't get ahold of one of your references? They emailed me a couple days ago saying they couldn't get ahold of my references and asked me for updated contact information. The thing is the person stopped working at the place where I volunteered and moved away and I'm having troubles getting their new contact information. Do you think if I emailed them and explained the situation they would let me change my reference to the person who currently works there? I'm really worried they'll automatically reject me even though my other two references are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must understand people make up stories in order to replace a bad reference with a good one they found later. Just clarify it with them, and it shouldnt be a reason for rejection unless they become suspicious, then they will just take it to the committee, for a full file review.
