Applicant from PhD program after 5 Nov, 2011 connect here to get status

That's interesting. I suppose it is indeed very possible for one to get refusal after passing the PER stage. Do you remember when the CIC started requiring all applicants to send the complete applications to the CIO? If Sanjun got his PER on Feb 26 '11, then most likely he was an MI-2 applicant? Did MI-2 applicants send their complete applications directly to Nova Scotia, or to the VO's after PER?

asbereth, I think it was actually after MI-2 that they started issuing PERs and NERs. The best source of concentrated information I was able to find on that is here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/bulletins/2011/ob318.asp. See also http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/bulletins/2010/ob218.asp. That is, after MI-1, applicants were supposed to send the documents to the visa office after CIO has reviewed them, and after MI-2, the applications were forwarded automatically. This is from the operational bulletin 218 concerning MI-2:

"The CIO will assess the applicant's submission as-is and make a final determination of eligibility. To be eligible for processing, the applicant
must meet all the criteria described in the MIs. If the application is eligible for processing, the applicant will be informed and the entire application
will be forwarded to the visa office requested."

So it seems that it is the visa office (or rather, CPC), that makes the final decision on the application... We just have to wait.

1) Hi, I was wondering if there is any news from the ones who APPEALED for their applications about the 5 adaptability points on over 2 years of PhD studies in Canada? I did the appeal but never got any answers.

2) In case we need to re-apply, could anyone who can tell me WHETHER the 5 ADAPTABILITY POINTS for over 2 years of PhD studies in Canada can be AWARDED right now??

Thanks.

It took me near a month to receive their feedback. Maybe you just need a little more patience. A few overturned the NER decisions successfully. Your situation is similar as theirs.

I saw an appearance of my address on my eCas status (just today), though I have yet to receive anything from Ottawa. Everything else is exactly the same (only said 'We received bla bla bla' when I clicked 'IN PROCESS'). Guys, check your online status as well, and see if anything shows up.

Me too. I guess it means now if by any chance we move, we can update the mailing address through the online system?

same story!

This is interesting. I've heard people from other streams have their address appear on their eCas status as well, but it happened several days ago. I wonder if this means that the timeline for showing addresses on eCas status is based on what FSW streams the applicants are?

Same here!

Can not check mine because I don't have my information here, but this is surely exciting! Now the funny part is that I may be actually moving to the USA soon

Well, you can check it using your application number (from PER email)? And you're almost done with your PhD? Wow, hopefully things are going smooth with your moving and stuff.

I actually have two more years to go, I would say I'm halfway thru. I may do an internship at ASU. At least it will be during winter and not last forever.

Any change is a welcome sign! My address appears on my eCas as well... Great!
