    GeoCanadian, our app reached about the same time. I presume ours will be in the same batch. So let me know if you have any activity on your end. I'll let you know if there's any on mine

    Quebec advertising in Brazil? Don't they know you all speak Portuguese and not French? Maybe it was the advert for French Guiana?

    I read in a CBC commentary that CIC loves the current situation right now - where European countries are experience big inflation and reduced economy which is forcing their youths to find work elsewhere (particularly Canada). The commentary when on to say that they love Europeans the most simply...

    I guess, things will slowly start to pick now, so will have wait a little. Don't forget, spring break wasn't too long ago.

    I consolidated my funds into a single account and went to the bank to get a statement. I did it with RBC and they issued a piece of paper with an official RBC chop. I only have to pay $5. But the other option is you can print it through your online banking portal. But for me, I was afraid that...

    30pixie, its true that Buffalo has a history of being slow. But as TyrusX posted earlier and if you do some googling on "immigration, budget news" in Canada, you will notice that the recent announcement with regards to the budget 2012 says that they are going to eliminate all prior applications...

    One question I have and that has kind of bug me all this while is the degree of detailness (in proof of education) needed. What I meant is proof of your years of study. It is probably understood that you could go for as far as getting proof for your high school, degree and masters (or even dip)...

    That's true. My wife and I will discuss on vague statements and debate it several times before coming to a decision on what to fill. Wish I had known about this forum earlier. I could have gotten inputs from here as well.

    Somehow I sense that apart from all the nitty-gritty matters and following most of the stuff they mention (boy it gets really stressful at times on this matter especially I had to coordinate getting 6 letters from my 6 different employers to account for my 10 years working exp), when it comes to...

    JJWW, I agree with you. That's a confusing part. I was wondering if it is either 1) Completed any canadian education of at least 2 years (e.g. degree/masters/ others) or 2) Could it apply to us who came for PhD but did our masters and degree in other country - such that we have already...

    Hmmm... interesting piece of news. Of course it doesn't sound good for folks who are affected by it but sure does mean good news for us. Wondering why it wasn't shown on CBC though. Perhaps not such a big news amidst all the other hot off the press budget news today. Maybe now a shorter...

    Found the footnotes of MI 1 to 4. Good to know that its btw 8 to 24 and not longer than that. ;) Well, the anxieties are there indeed. Surely they'll diminish with time like everyone else. But I suppose we'll have the forum to keep ourselves updated on what's going on from time to time...

    Been doing alot of googling on the subject of this just introduced PhD stream and it being a fast-track option to PR status... Earlier on, in one of this thread's conversation someone shared an article from the toronto sun. I found out that other articles exist too and pretty much the word...

    Hi All, Thanks for keeping this forum active with regards to FSW (PhD stream). As for me, I would have been able to send sooner if it was not for my certificate of good conduct. Anyhow, I've send my application and they (at Sydney received it on the 27th March) Crossing my fingers and hope all...
