Does contacting MP office speed up the process? I saw here on the forum some people contacting their MPs. This might put some pressure on the immigration officer that processes the application. I'm just thinking if a processing officer doesn't like our applications due to some personal reasons...

I just hope it is not going to take another one or two years and they will make a decision on our applications in a few months.

So I guess your security is not passed, right? As AmKh pointed out it is probably due to the security check that they delayed our applications.

Elnazdel no they did not asked anything. There is no any changes in my application since the summer last year. Extra 6 months means until June. Hopefully, we will hear something from them by June.

Do you guys know what caused the delay in your applications? Is your background check complete and security section passed? I'm august 10 applicant, and according to my recent GSMC notes my background is still in progress and security not started. Does anyone know what is the longest the...

Congratulations! And thanks for the detailed description of the flagpole process. Sorry to bombard you with questions but it seems everyone is driving to the border and doing the flagpole using their car to drive to and from the border. I wonder can one flagpole as a passenger travelling by bus...

Thank you MM3 for your encouraging response. I also think it would be strange that they not accept my passport that has its validity extended by the embassy of my country. That would mean that they do not recognize the authority of the embassy of my country, which would be against the accepted...

Does anyone know if CIC accepts passport that has its validity extended for the PR visa? I got an email today from Centralized office asking for a copy of a passport that currently has a validity date beyond 6 months. I extended the validity of my passport until October 11, 2019 through the...

Thanks guys for your responses. I will apply for the extension of my work permit sooner rather than later. I also saw that in June applicants forum someone mentioned that they called the call center and the guy told them that there is a system problem and it will take more than 15 months. If...

I'm august 10, 2015 inland applicant, medical received end of April 2016 and did it sometime in May. My work permit expires on 10 October 2016 and I wonder if I should apply for an extension now or take a risk and wait for the results of my application. Any advice?

What happens if your fee is reduced to domestic rate but later on your PR application is refused? Are you required to pay the difference for those years that you paid at domestic rate?

Does the research assistantship have to be from university or college? Does a research assistantship experience, gained in the institutions other than college or university, fall under the NOC code 4012? I have a back home research assistantship experience where I assisted senior researches with...

NOC code 4012 mentions both Research and Teaching assistantship. Is 75-100% in one of them sufficient to pass? Let say you have done 100% of the duties mentioned under Teaching assistantship but 0% under Research assistantship, can you still qualify?

Thanks very much asbereth for this good explanation. So it seems my one year work experience from back home could be considered under NOC 4012 as long as my job description matches the lead statement and some of the main duties. I did assist senior researchers with research activities and...

Thanks S_Govind for your comment. My TA work experience is cumulative and you are right I wont probably get any point for this. I also have one year continuous work experience from back home as Research Assistant. I assisted the senior researchers at a research institution with data analysis...

Thanks asbereth for your explanation of the work experience issue. Now, I calculated that I have totally 1250 work hours as Teaching Assistant. Do you guys think it is worth to apply with this amount of work experience? The cic website says 30 hours per week and if we do rough calculation the...

Hello everybody, I'm considering to apply for permanent residency through the Federal Skilled Worker PhD stream. I wonder if anyone can clarify the new rules regarding the work experience that affect those who applied on or after May 4, 2013. It says that in order to be eligible the applicant...
