Probably. Most Canadian B-schools haven't released the essay questions yet. When I contacted them, they replied to check in the end of August or early September.

Hey junii

I don't think you will be able to find these questions on Sauder's website. These questions are given in the application portal.
I also think that the questions every year pretty much remain similar

But if you start your Sauder MBA application for Fall 22 intake and find some changes, do let us know. I will update them.

Thank you.

Hello,

I've started working on my Sauder MBA application. But I'm facing an issue with the Referee Details section. I have added the referee information and saved it. However, neither of the referees has gotten the reference form yet. I also tried to resend the email but still they haven't received it. has anyone experience any such issue?

Hi,
You can wait and see. As most of them working remotely there are chances that it might take some time

I received the below response

Thank you for reaching out to us regarding this issue. We have observed that company email addresses don’t receive the reference email as consistently so we advise you to provide non-work email addresses for your referees.

Ok. In this case, you can provide an unofficial email address like a gmail one of your original recommender as suggested by the admissions team.

I also got the same response from the admissions team today. In that case if we provide an unofficial email address, would the referees be able to provide the reference electronically or would they be required to mail a physical copy to the school? Any idea?

Hi,
In most of the scenarios as the admission team is already aware that you do have a genuine recommender but just that the company email filter is not allowing the university to deliver the recommender mail and they themself advised you to provide an alternate email address. In this case, you need to put in the alternate email address of your recommender and the recommender will get the details as to how to submit their recommendation electronically. It will be the same process like the official email but just that the recommender will be submitting it from their alternative email address.

Hi @romil666,
I want to know if anyone is aware about the questions in LOR

Hey NoName12 ,

The Referees MAY EXPECT to see such types of questions in the LOR/Referee form:

1. How long and in what capacity have you known the candidate? (No word limit)
2. If this is a work-related reference, in what position is/was the candidate employed and for how long? (No word limit)
3. What do you consider to be the candidate’s principal strengths/talents? (No word limit)
4. What do you consider to be the candidate’s weaknesses or areas that need improvement? (No word limit)

If by any chance your recommender shares the questions with you, do let me know so that I can update the main post above. Application info in its entirety will make this community more resourceful.

Thanks,
Romil.
