Aspiring Canadian JETs 2012

[HerrKaiser]

Hey, any toronto short-listers know if there are no costs affiliated with the language course? (besides travel)

[CalgaryPC]

Can't wait either. Though CIR placements are probably a lot different from ALT placements. As for how many, we shall see in the stats. Here in Montreal, there seems to have been quite a lot, as there was not enough space for me in the Japanese courses. (Not that I needed any basic class, considering my position...)

While it could be earlier, I wouldn’t start expecting placements until well into June, just based on what I’ve been told.
CIR and ALT placements are with very different contracting organizations, but they should all be sent out at the same time.
BTW, the numbers in Vancouver are actually slightly up this year, so it might just be that they happen to be less active on the forums or something.

Well into June? Wow, that will be a longer wait than I ever thought.

I just hope that finding a place where to stay won't be too much problem.

Trust Tokyo to make a liar out of me. Placements should be coming out pretty soon it looks like.

@CalgaryPC: By soon, do you maybe mean "this week" sometime?

Mamonaku* desu ka? Well now that's awesome news.

As for the equation "Japan = Earlier than expected bureaucracy", I can totally understand how they could make you lie. Been there, had that as well. They can be late for some things, but you can have quicker-than-expected answers as well. Got used to it...

And placements are already coming out elsewhere, so I expect placements to come out soon for us Canadians as well.

*Soon, for those who wouldn't know enough Japanese.

I'm crossing my fingers that well know our placement by the end of the day. Can't wait to start watching and reading stuff about my prefecture 24/7

I hope it's gonna be today for Vancouver!

I have a feeling Montreal won't get placements until a few days at least..hopefully not next week

That was quick, I just sent all the emails for people in Ottawa.

Feel free to ask me about life in Okayama, I was an ALT there.

Fingers crossed for Vancouver!

All this waiting/lurking the forums is torture, especially as the results are rolling in elsewhere! I think I've given myself a headache.....
