For anyone who has applied to BCLP VS, did you get an invite to their online test straight after submitting your application? I submitted my app today but the confirmation email doesn't say anything about an online test.

Thanks,

I'm new to this so, do interviews happen on the same day as the AC or are they separate? How does an AC work, what does the schedule generally look like? and do you have to 'pass' an AC to have an interview?

Did the VI at the end of November

Those of you still waiting don’t worry too much, they only gave me a choice of two days so I’m sure there are more invites to come!
