    Thanks aidina. Actually I have far more than they need. I worked 4 years in Iran and brought all my savings here. I have 50k in my bank account. Yes, as I said before they are going the way US is going for years. They are making things harder for us. I hope we don't have to wait long for their...

    Guys, I got my document request today. They asked me for the original PCC issued in Feb 2012, proof of funds and 6 month bank history, and my PhD program information (i.e. field of study, name and contact details of my supervisor, CV and publication list). They also asked for my wife's original...

    From the previous posts I believe if they ask only for bank history they give 30 days, but if they ask for bank history and other documents (eg. PCC or CV), they give more time.

    The bank history is understandable. I don't have any discussion about that, but CV and list of publications??? This is the request only from Iranians. If I can find only one case from other nationalities then I will stop thinking of discrimination. About the clearance, my friend is waiting for...

    From his ID I guess he is Iranian. As I said before, they are asking extra documents from Iranians (i.e. CV, list of publications and field of work). I also heard from some of my Iranian friends that their applications (not in PhD stream) was sent for security clearance check!!! This is what US...

    I had the same situation, Here is what I did: I did not pay the application fee for him since he is not applying for PR. I wrote 3 in the number of family members. In the instruction guide (cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/step-by-step.asp), under question 3, it is said that...

    Congrats AF___. At least it means that they have looked at your documents again. Like the other guys I am wondering about your nationality. If you are Iranian, then it means that they are discriminating Iranians. If you look at the tracker, 3 of 4 rejected applications are from Iranian...

    1) I believe that the fact that we did not hear back from them has nothing to do with the lack of documents or not having a lawyer. Most of us got PER which means that our applications were complete. I myself included all the things you mentioned and got PER. 2) Many of us could not send our...

    I did not care about the points associated with the 2 years of study in Canada because for me, adaptability was not an issue at all. My wife had 1+ years of Canadian work experience and a university degree from Iran. Besides we have a Canadian-born child! So I went over the maximum adaptability...
