[QUOTE="andrecsaa, post: 203321, member: 26634"] I’m really sorry to hear about all the rejections, it’s a tough process, and I know it can be frustrating. I’m not sure which firms you’re applying to, but every year, many candidates who require visa sponsorship secure training contracts, so I don’t think the visa is a major issue. MC / SC always select international applicants who require visa. That said, it’s a highly competitive process, many trainees go through 4–5 cycles before receiving a TC offer. I don’t know your specific circumstances, but if you’re not getting past the application stage and your drafting skills are strong, the issue might be your LLB grades (since an LLM doesn’t carry much weight for TC applications) or your performance on the WG/SJT tests. It could also be that the firms you’re applying to have limited capacity, so applying to more firms might help. [/QUOTE]
