Summer Electives Clarification for 2021 (Including IPEME)

All of our summer elective programs for 2021 will be offered virtually. This is because of continued pandemic restrictions and border closures. We want these programs to continue and offering them virtually is the best way to minimize risk and create some pretty amazing versions of our programs. We want to offer ways to safely participate from wherever you are as long as you have internet access. If reliable internet access is challenging but you would like to apply than please reach out to us at info@cisepo.ca for with a request for assistance and we might be able to help with support for this.

We will be replying to all applicants who have submitted an application within the next week and have extended the submission date to allow for submissions due to exceptional circumstances. Please complete any applications as soon as possible.

Upcoming IPEME Deadline for 2021

Please note that IPEME 2021 applications will be due by February 26th at midnight and our program team is aiming to have selection decisions issued via email by March 15th, 2021. This year’s program will be delivered virtually to accommodate Covid-19 restrictions and support participant safety. However, it will still be an amazing experience and we would love to have you join us!

IPEME 2021 Status Update: COVID-19

Due to ongoing concerns relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, the University of Toronto has made the difficult decision to suspend all elective programs for visiting international students for 2021. 

CISEPO will offer IPEME as a virtual accredited elective for the summer of 2021. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and update the portal with information for the 2021 virtual program and the 2022 IPEME program.  We appreciate your patience throughout this challenging period.  

IPEME 2021 Update

IPEME applications for 2021 are now open, however we are not yet certain about whether we can offer the program on site in Toronto, Canada. Due to Covid-19 restrictions and the unpredictability of the pandemic we may need to offer the program virtually for the summer of 2021. We will keep you updated as we move forward. You may find details on our social media or contact us directly at info@cisepo.ca with specific questions.

IPEME 2021- IMPORTANT NOTICE

We’re hoping that everyone is staying safe and healthy during the pandemic. At the moment, we’re still not certain what will happen in the summer of 2021 and whether it will be safe to hold IPEME or whether the Canadian border will even be open for us to bring our international students to Toronto for the summer program. We will keep you updated via Facebook and Twitter and this page as the situation evolves and we’re better able to determine whether IPEME 2021 will be held in person or virtually. Sending e-hugs,
Shawna
