linmagine Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 Hi! Asking for the next admission cycle. I have done some work/volunteering abroad with people that don't speak English very well or at all. I'm worried that they won't able to respond appropriately if called. Has anyone faced similar issues, and if so how did you resolve them? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eudaimonia Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 If you apply to Ontario schools through OMSAS, there is a Note section you could use to state that the verifier has limited English skills. Alberta allows 2 verifiers for each activity so you could put someone less involved with you but more comfortable with English. Some schools will contact you if they can't get a hold of the verifier (UBC I think) and then you could explain. Generally, I don't think it should be a problem as it sounds like a reasonable situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
