Click above for the screen shot, I just took!

Please, stop debating if you can see it or not. Again: It depends on the location from where you access the cic page and sometimes even on the browser you use how long it takes until you see the updates on the CIC Website. Contrary to common belief, the same page can look different for different users.

Most probably! It during the weekends, and if possible during long weekend, that they normally undertake major IT rollouts. Just IT talk...

True. As an IT guy, I can confirm this

Too early for my liking. I was going to become eligible under 4 year law in early November

A friend of mine was going to be eligible around Oct 19.

Will stay on a VISITORS VISA count towards physical presence? My wife arrived as a visitor (stayed 7 months) and then applied to become a student thereafter.

Thank you.

Not your friend!

Here is the funny story, we both came to Canada together but he got his PR almost a year before me. Under the old rule, I would have to wait over a year be becoming eligible, but C-6 equalized everything. This is the irony of life.

Yes she will. It does not matter whether it is a Students, Workers or Visitors Visa. They will all be counted
