What happens after you sign up?
Here are the various steps that occur between registration and the beginning of the program:
First step: confirmation of interest
- Mid-January: You confirm that you are still interested in participating by filling out an online questionnaire.
- End of January: We carry out a random selection based on demographic criteria (language, gender, region, and ethnic background).
Second step: medical evaluation
- End of January: If your name comes up in the random selection, we will invite you to submit your medical file as quickly as possible.
Third step: preparation
- Once we have received your medical file, we will invite you to take part in an online chat during which we will give you more information about the program.
- Mid-March: We will carry out a pre-selection process based on demographic criteria (language, gender, region, and ethnic background)
- Mid-April: If you are accepted during the pre-selection process, we will invite you to a preparatory meeting during which you will receive information about the program (its structure, mission, and educational approach) and about how to prepare. It is also a chance for you to meet people from CWY and for you and them to see if the program is right for you.
- In the week following this meeting, you will receive confirmation from CWY. If you decide to accept, you will then be placed either on a specific program or on a waiting list.
