Application Process

  1. A preliminary interview may be requested.
  2. An application form will be forwarded on request. The Admissions Committee will review the application form and decide whether to proceed. Reference forms are then sent out to each of the three names offered by the applicant.
  3. An autobiography will be requested. Once the autobiography and the references have been received, the Admissions Committee again reviews the application.
  4. Medical examination by the applicant's family doctor and dental examination, with results forwarded to Scarboro Missions.
  5. Interviews are arranged with three members of the Admissions Committee at Scarboro Missions. For those coming from outside the Toronto area or who may need to stay overnight, accommodations are offered at Scarboro Missions at no cost.
  6. Psychological testing, occurs over three days in a "live-in" arrangement at Southdown. This assessment is financed by Scarboro Missions. The Lay Coordinators meet with the psychologist and the applicant on the last day to receive a verbal assessment of the testing. A written report will be mailed to the Lay Mission Office at Scarboro Missions and the applicant at a later date.
  7. Notification of the decision is given via a letter from the Lay Mission Office.

NOTE: Normally the application deadline for the January Preparation Program is October 1st. Ideally, the entire process should be completed by that date.
