Hi Ayo! What department did you apply to in USask? Did you submit IELTS scores?Yeah and I already have a prospective supervisor as acceptance is contingent on availability of a prospective supervisor.
It was my prospective supervisor that sent me a email requesting if I have secured a graduate student position and I said no. Then he asked me to go ahead submit an official Application. Luckily for me, he is the graduate chair for my department.
