J1 SON appeal- Canada

[usamd2015]

Hi everyone,

So out of genuine ignorance, I submitted my SON "late" on Monday for the SON. Not confirmed yet but I heard the limit has/has almost been reached. Considering the tight timeline, I would like to be more proactive with the appeal thing if I have to go that route. Does anyone know how to appeal for a SON?

Thank you

I have no idea, but I wish you the best of luck! It must be terrible what you're going through. So ridiculous, Canada!

The Health Canada website has a statement about no exceptions.

Nevertheless, there is a committee you might want to contact if you want to contest that decision. I do not know if doing so would change your situation.

Hey, I had the same concern. Any luck in your appeal process since then?

We need to make a lot of noise and “act like Americans” rather than polite Canadians.

Denial of statements of needs does appear to be in violation of the Canadian charter of human rights and freedom specifically section 6. Once I am making more $$ I plan to donate money to support a class action law suite against Health Canada.

If you have dual citizenship or citizenship from another country get your SON from that country. For those who are going to medschool abroad try and get citizenship from that country if possible as well.

Exemptions will not be made....that is a lie...what about the case of the girl from Sask...we know that the so called “glitch in the system” was a lie to cover Health Canada otherwise. We need to get this story in the news more...if the Canadian public knew they would be appalled !!!

Contact your province and the meanest lawyer you can find. Start studying for step 3 as well.
