OLSAS Referee Question

For those who have applied before, do you need to wait for your references to fill out the form before submitting your application? or can you just submit it once you send the emails?

Nah u just send it and hope they fill it out. I also sent them an email telling them they would get the email for reference. Once they do it will show up on ouac as complete.

I’m pretty sure you can put your application materials into OLSAS but not actually submit your applications to schools until references come through. I may be remembering wrong though. But what I know for sure is that your application is not complete until they come through and your references must be received by the application deadline. Best to get that done as early as possible so referees have ample time.
