Thanks kopy50 you're right but I cant afford the Uni fees plus this waitlist situation for non-nationals will be at those places too. Thats why I want to give it a good go at CNAQ and also I still think that despite this problem, they are still a very good choice for Diplomas. Though I intend having a back up plan as you suggest.

I've been speaking to a number of people at CNAQ who have provided some further details about the waitlist situation for non-nationals. From my conversations with them, I believe there is a very good chance the powers to be will sort something out in time for Fall Semester 2013 (matters are too late for January start date for us). I also heard they have suspended new applications for certain over capacity study programmes until they 'clear' the backlog.

If you and the people you know wish to do something that will make a difference whereby CNAQ will be inclined to make a decision in our favour, then the best thing we can do is to contact them in writing (I have the email address for the Registrar and the Vice President) to present our frustrations and viewpoints therefore compelling them to consider us and make the necessary arrangements for people like us.

Are you guys interested in writing to them?
