I seriously took too long to get my reference letter and get all my documents together (I obviously do not have a Visa yet. I live in Canada). I'm just about ready to apply--- is it too late? I am not picky about the location I get. Any advice?

I know there is also another small intake after February---- if that's so, then would they have a separate orientation date for people being recruited for that period, or would I still have to attend the orientation for February? I am tempted to check the "flexible, any start date" box for intake, as opposed to "Main intake only".

does epik have a deadline?

It's probably too late. The EPIK website says they are still taking applications but it likely just hasn't been updated yet. I know Footprints stopped accepting EPIK applicants weeks ago. I'm expecting my NOA/Contract within the next 2 weeks. Needless to say, it's very late in the process.

You only needed like 3 documents to submit your application - two letters + the application. The rest is sent in later. Did you spend so much time making sure you had everything before applying? There are only 30-60 estimated jobs for March/April. You can try to apply though.

Yes, I actually got my criminal record check, my transcripts, notarized copies of my diplomas etc... But it's really the reference letters that I got quite late. I was also getting into the perfectionist trap for the essay and lesson plan (*sigh*).

Just apply through a public school recruiter and don't be picky about where you want to be. There are public school openings all the time. Like I said, you just can't be picky about location.
