I guess PNP is quicker. I also read other posts about the FSW1 applications to New Delhi. Their process is extremely quick (6-7 months?). How can it happen and why can't PhD stream be that quick, given that we got our education (and many cases, work experience) in Canada? This is very...

Hi TyrusX, I think that the person applied to CIC last Nov. Before the process, they need to submit documents to the immigration office in their own province. This decision-making process at the province level can take around 3 months before they get approved. Then they need to fill out more...

Does anyone know why CIO is so slow in processing cases now?

I have a question. I found that you guys who apply in New Delhi all got your visa within 6 months. Is it quick there? I checked the CIC website, and it states the processing time to be more than two years? Mary

I see. Thanks, Utopie. So if you got a PER, does it mean that you will very likely get your immigration visa, because they have checked your application and find that you have fulfilled all the points?

I have seen a few threads here stating about PER. Is it positive eligibility review? I thought that as long as you stayed in Canada for more than two years for your PhD you will get PER, regardless if your work experience qualifies their requirement. Am I correct?

Hi TyrusX, Thanks so much for your reply. I originally planned for FSW-Ph.D. because I thought that the stream will be quick (decision completed in one year or so). I believe that your suggestion of applying for Ontario PNP may be good... However, somehow I got the impression that PNP process...

Hi all, I have a question for you. I can apply for both FSW-PhD stream and Ontario Provincial Nominee-PhD (Ontario PNP-PhD) stream. I am considering which one to apply. How long does it take for the FSW-PhD stream applicant to get their immigration visa? Should I apply both? I am really...

Congratulations from me too! Specialmary

Thanks for clarification by asbereth! Regarding the one-year continuous work experience, I was pretty surprised that they want continuous but this experience can come from different occupations. I have heard different versions (e.g., it has to be in the same occupation), but you are probably...

Hi all, I have a question. Does anyone know whether you can combined NOCs (e.g., one is university research and teaching assistant; another is health policy researcher; a third one is university lecturer) to fulfill the MINIMUM REQUIREMENT of one-year continuous full-time equivalent work...

Thanks for all. I should follow the suggestions and post on the PhD stream thread. Specialmary

Hi, Federal Skilled Worker (Ph.D. Stream) has the requirement of having at least one year of full-time work experience or part-time equivalent I wonder if anyone knows if the "part-time equivalent" of one year full-time work means that the part-time experience of 1950 hours have to be gained...

I see. I have asked three immigration lawyers and they all said I can add up the different NOCs to make up the one-year continuous work experience requirement... I just am not sure... SpecialMary

Hi all, Does anyone know whether you can combined NOCs (e.g., one is university research and teaching assistant; another is health policy researcher) to fulfill the MINIMUM REQUIREMENT of one-year continuous full-time equivalent work experience in Federal Skilled worker program? I know that...

Hi, I still have a question about the one-year continuous working experience. Operational Bulletin 173 from Immigration Canada defined one-year continuous working experience in the first Federal Skilled Worker category. If an applicant falls under two of these occupations in their special list...

Hi all, Can I ask a question about the Canadian immigration? I have the following part-time working experience: University Research Assistant (NOC 4012) - from Sep 2009 to Apr 2012 continuously - about 500 hours University Teaching Assistant (NOC 4012) - from Sep 2009 to Apr 2010; from Sep...
