In_Valid Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 So I mailed my form to OESC over a month and a half ago and still haven't heard anything. Has anyone else used this service? Do they mail it back to you or do they mail it to the school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Charles Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 You probably already checked the tracking number to make sure that the form you sent was delivered. I'd also check when/if your credit card has been charged because I recieved my letter from them 8 days after my credit was charged. Most likely, you'll be getting it in the next day or two.

My credit card hasn't been charged yet and I sent mine in a few weeks ago. From your post, it seems like they charge it near the end of the process, so I shouldn't worried (right?). Also, where is this tracking number found? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Charles Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 OESC charged my credit card about four weeks after Canada Post delivered my letter to them so it takes some time. If you sent the letter with Priority Mail, they give you a tracking number so you can check if your package has been delivered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maodiddymao Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 I just got mine back today. I sent it via priority mail during the first week of June. If I remember correctly, my credit card was charged about a week ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here - it does take a while (guess they are not kidding about the 6 weeks....), I am glad I got the form off ASAP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathew.chui Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 It took me almost 4 weeks to receive mine (just this week). However, I received the card one weekend after my credit card was billed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growling Poodle Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 My credit card was just billed! Now I can relax and stop worrying that my oesc application got lost in the mail. From now on: PRIORITY MAIL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In_Valid Posted July 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 agreed. Just got mine after like 2 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jubejube Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Oh no! Am I the only person who wasn't on the ball...? I gave myself 4 weeks, but not six. Organization has always been my weakest point... I guess instead of fretting I'll email the admissions office and let them know, and hope that it will be ok!

gibson303 Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 OESC is the criminal background check that needs to be completed and submitted by August 12th. A background check from the local police won't do, instead it needs to be done at this place in Toronto, and in return they send you this OESC card, which essentially allows you to work in ontario hospitals. If you haven't done it yet, I suggest going directly to the office in Toronto, to speed up the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slim Charles Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 It probably won't take that long at this point because there's probably less backup. I don't think there's anything you can do online but I wouldn't be too worried about it at all. People are still just getting off the waitlist and they won't be getting their OESC cards until after August 12th so UWO will be understanding.

Pantaloons Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Do I need to hold onto the original card and mail them a photocopy? I won't be needing the original on me at school, will I? Or can I just mail them the OESC card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 I think you mail them a photocopy and then keep the card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In_Valid Posted July 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Just go to your local police department and get it done there as a backup. Hand that in as a place holder until the OESC report comes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or can I just mail them the OESC card? Yeah, I think we mail in a photocopy. I'm pretty sure we ARE supposed to have the card on us, but probably not until we start getting into the hospitals. I don't think we'll be asked to show it much, if at all, during our first and second years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icedawg Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Does the OESC card arrive as registered mail? I received notice of a failed delivery attempt from the postal carrier regarding registered mail requiring a signature, and now I cannot pick it up until Monday. I'm hoping it's my OESC card! Well, at first I was hoping it was my application package finally arriving, but I see no one has received them yet, so the OESC card would be a nice second.
