    Thanks aelatar for sharing the news. I just checked my ECAS status and I also got the extra line that says "We started processing your application on November 2, 2012.". A step forward.

    Your are not only judging TyrusX here, but also insulting a lot of other people. Many of us (Iranians I know in particular) have chosen Buffalo as their visa office, because in any case it will be much faster than the visa office of our own country. By the way, how on earth people were supposed...

    I sent bank statements (not transaction history, only a statement showing the balances on my accounts) with my documents. I clearly remember that the Document Checklist did not ask for account history. Then three weeks ago I got an email asking for the balances on all my accounts plus account...

    Now they are pissing me off. Today I got a letter from Ottawa asking for account history for my chequing accounts and they haven't said for how long (6 month account history, one year, ...). If you wanted account history for chequing account, you should have asked three weeks ago when you asked...

    I think it is a mistake if you don't list your RA in China. You can always write a cover letter explaining why you can't obtain complete documents for your work in China (if you really cannot). Maybe your Canadian work experience is enough and everything goes well. In that case you won't lose...

    Don't worry! It happened to me last week. I couldn't access ECAS on Monday. It came back on Tuesday night.

    I showed ~$14000. But I didn't include my account activity report, because it was not asked for in the checklist.

    I am not disappointed. Actually I agree with asbereth that any news is good news if it is not rejection :) Also I am still so happy that our files are out of Buffalo and we don't have to wait for two years that even bad news do not upset me as much as they used to. Anyway, I just checked and for...

    Well, I think Tsyrux was right about Iranians having to submit the six month account activity. I got the letter today. "This is in reference to your application for permanent residence in Canada. In order for us to continue the processing of your application, we require the following documents...

    I have a suggestion regarding our spreadsheet. I think it is better to change the color for those who have heard something from Ottawa from green to something else. Because they are actually one step after PER. We know their documents are received by Visa Office and reviewed. I think this helps...

    Now the question is if they send all of our files to Ottawa or only some of them are selected for the pilot program and rest are sent to Buffalo. I really hope it is the former.

    I applied for FSW2 in July but did not make the 500 quota, so my application was returned. Actually I had everything ready when this new PhD stream was introduced, so the only thing I had to do was to print the new checklist and new generic application form and change my cover letter :)

    Don't worry. You don't say you are applying under PhD stream anywhere in the application form. But You say so in the Document Checklist which you have to put above all your other documents (section 10 of document checklist). So they'll see it for sure.
