What are the experiences of Canadian Students who will attend Oxford University as Post-Graduates with administrative staff?

The administrative staff at the University of Oxford can be extremely slow in getting back to you (personal experience). You will most likely have to send several follow up emails before getting any type of acknowledgement or answer to your query.

There are also no approximate timelines noted on the university website for what happens after the university sends you their initial acceptance letter and a college has accepted you (Late March notification for 2008 entry).

Early April: You should get a letter from your college asking for personal information, financial information, and graduate accommodation.

Late June: You should get a welcome letter from your faculty.

Early July: You should get an email regarding signing up for orientation day.

Mid July: The college should advise you if you need to provide any additional financial information. Early June is the earliest you can apply for a Canadian Government student loan if you need to. If you are dependent on loan, you might need a sponsor to provide a letter saying they will cover the difference in cost if your loan does not get approved.

Mid August: You should receive your university contract if you have met all your financial and academic conditions.

Late August: You should get a letter from your college confirming your graduate accommodation (if you applied to live on campus).

There is also little help on the university website in understanding what you need to obtain a Student Visa to the United Kingdom. The Visa Application requires that you provide a letter from the university stating your total cost of living and studying at Oxford. You will need to contact your college for this (remarkably, not the university). Oxford does not outline who to contact at what time for International Students at all. They would be prudent to add the information as it would save their staff a lot of time as I'm sure they answer the same questions over and over again.
