Hi! I got an email about the medical and police certificates today.

Has anyone had their medical examination in Vancouver? Any recommendations for a designated med. practitioner?

Congratulations. Hope that we will will hear more good news like yours soon.

Also, TyrusX and snow_walker, shouldn't we color 30pixie entry on the spreadsheet blue, since he got the medical request already?

true!

 

[30pixie]

Congrats Amigo! Very happy for you! That is very good news! I can't help you with a MD in vancouver, but all of them should be ok!

Obrigado! Though I'm an amiga, not an amigo hope everybody else gets theirs soon

Asbereth, I applied to the VO in Mexico City, maybe they have received less applications than Buffalo.

Feb2004, it's sent later, they must send you (by postal mail) a set of instructions that you must, in turn, send to your country's police.

I see. I suppose that's why things move faster than expected for you, and that you got request for medical and PCC at the same time. Good call You mentioned 'others' for your work experience, did you mostly rely on your overseas work experience for the points?

It's good that your application got processed faster than people that chose Buffalo , though, at the same time, for a second I thought that Ottawa has processed as far as mid-Jan applicants All the same, congratulations, and hope things go smoothly for you and the rest of the applicants

Anyway, does anybody know if crazyleader submitted his application elsewhere, or was it also to Buffalo?

So you confirm that you got your application request in Mexico City? Where did the e-mail come from?

Hi ,

I am a CA with 10 years and willing to go for PHD in accountancy from Cananda.

Can someone guide as to the way, journye and prospects in there?

any information would be highly informative.

 

[GeoCanadian]

Hi! Anyone please....Is the police certificate sent along with the application or later?

Hi there...

Either way is OK. I sent mine with the application. Or, alternatively, you may wait for the CIC's request for police certificates after they determine your eligibility for PR status.

Good luck.

 

[GeoCanadian]

Thank you!
I am registered for 12 month but my courses last 8 month. I found the clarification at "Canadian Experience Class" which states:

"- Full-time studies – To be eligible, you must have been considered “full-time” at your school.
- Two years of study – At least 16 months—or four semesters—within the 24 months before completing a full-time post-secondary program of study in Canada".
In addition SGS of UofT confirmed that I completed 2 years of my PhD programme. I am full-time PhD student.
The problem is that I could not find the definition of "2 years" at CIC. I will talk to SGS official tomorrow because they BELIEVE that I completed 2 years of PhD proragmme. It is a quite upsetting situation because my graduate studies office misinform me.

I think you should fight... I know some PhD programs where seminars are given intensively just for two months per year, yet, students are registered as continuation students for the entire calendar year conducting research supervised by the program faculty. I think what you need to submit to them as "additional evidence" is your registration records. 2 years is equivalent to 6 semesters of registration. If you can submit the evidence that you have been registered (even if for just "Program Continuation") and completed at least 6 semesters at your university, they will have no grounds to disqualify you this way. Besides, this is something new - PhD stream regulation/ministerial instructions say that it is sufficient for the applicant to provide an "Attestation Letter". If the "Attestation Letter" uses the exact wording they are looking for ("XYZ is enrolled and has completed two years towards his/her PhD degree. XYZ is in good academic standing to the satisfaction of the institution") AND is signed by the Dean, they do not have any grounds to claim "lack of evidence" to this effect.

I would certainly fight by appealing with CIC. Good luck...

The thing is, even counting all of the summer semesters, if he enrolled on September 2010, then I don't think he would have completed 6 terms by the time he applied (assuming, of course, that his school follows the trimester system where there are three terms in a calendar year). It's probably then better for him to reapply come September (or November when the cap is reset), since it doesn't look like he's eligible yet.

L_Bloom, would your IELTS test scores or police certificates (if you plan to submit it along with your applications) be expired by then? If so, then it's probably a good idea to take care of these in the mean time. And possibly a new reference letter as well (since you will have accumulated more work experience hours by then).

Hi,

Haven't been involve in the conversation much of late. But I just checked back the tracker doc. I was wondering if anyone could help explain why the usernames, 'phdapplicant' and 'Dani1982' were bold in blue?

Regards

They are appealing for being rejected at Ottawa/Consolate level. Their PER was reverted to NER.

Hi Admin, Please add my information in the spreadsheet:

Username: mib26

Application reached CIO: 30-Apr-2012
CC/BD encashed: 03-May-2012
PER issued (CIO): 08-May-2012

Current eCAS status: In process

No. of persons in the application: 1

TA/RA Experience: Only

Nationality: China


After reviewing all the replies I found I might fall into the same situation like phdapplicant and Dani1982, since without "adaptability" I only have 66 pts (16 pts for IELTS, 2+ yrs RA and 9 months TA, no oversea working experience).

what a tragedy, but good luck to all you guys.
