Hi All,

I finished my PhD degree and moved to another province for work.
How can I inform the CPP-Ottawa immigration office of my new address, title, job etc.?

Thanks

I have seen some applicants sent their application to a wrong address(i.e. wrong category address). If the address you sent is the same as the address for PR application (same building) and only the P.O.Box is different, probably they will deliver it to the proper section in that building. Otherwise, not quite sure about that. If I were you, I would ask the MP of my city to contact CIO by email to check if your file is with them or not.

Thanks for your response Viva2014. What is MP?

Hi,

This is from CIC website:

It doesnt say anything about the new status but probably it can be informed by the same email or you may also contact via phone and tell them your new status.

Yes, follow what Viva2014 just asked you to do and email them all documents including PGWP (post-grad Work Permit), new address, and also a job title.

Check the link Viva2014 kindly provided you and you will find all steps to follow.

Best luck!

Congrats and wish you a safe landing. I see your entire PR process took exactly one year from application filed to Visa issued.

Thanks pepe84. Yes it took exactly a year; no more no less.

I also wish you and all who are in this process, a very good luck and smooth journey ahead.

I am applying the PhD Stream with my spouse. I have some questions. Hopefully someone can help us ASAP.

1. Form "Additional Family Information" for spouse, Section A. The blank for application should be my name (principle applicant) or my spouse's name.

2. Form "Schedule 3-Economic Classes", Question 8, Study in Canada.According to the explanation:

"Check the appropriate boxes to indicate whether you or, if applicable, your accompanying spouse or common-law partner, have previously completed at least two academic years of full-time study (in a program of at least two years in duration) at a secondary or post-secondary institution in Canada."

I just have finished 2 years of my PhD study and had never studied in Canada before. What should I choose? Should I choose "yes"? Because I have finished 2 years of academic study. But according to some explanation, the full-time study should be at least 15 hours per week and I don't think it works for a PhD student as we just have 4 courses in 4 years.....

3. Form "Schedule 3-Economic Classes", Question 9, Work in Canada. I just only have TA&RA experience in Canada within this two years, should I choose "yes"?

4. Form "Schedule 3-Economic Classes", Question 12, Your work experience. Should I put RA and TA in one occupation? Because TA and RA have different duties.

Thanks.
