Hi everyone,

Yesterday I received the RPRF, Medical exam and Police certificate requests via email!

Back in June 16th I had received an email with this text: “your application has received a positive determination of eligibility to be processed on the basis of your enrollment in, or completion of, a PhD program”. Sorry for the dumb question, but is this what is called PER? I'm in a university in Ontario, is this email what I need to change my "status" and reduce my tuition fees?

Also, I only have one page left on my passport, I haven't gotten a new one for fear it would confuse CIC. Should I get a new one and just send both passports and a cover letter explaining when I get the passport request? I'll need more pages for a visa to a different country very soon anyways.

P.S.: Just a reminder, I'm the guy whose application was returned in December and miraculously reassessed in June.

Yes, that is the PER (Positive Eligibility Review). I heard many of applicants from Ontario use that letter to reduce their tuitions. It of course depends on your university whether they accept this or not. There was a serious debate on this because some of applicants got rejected even after PER and university has to apply original tuition rate and students have hard time to pay back. You can definitely try.

If you have only one black page left, you better get a new passport. Do not send two passports to CIC, it creates the big problems because it makes them confused (actually one of my friend had problem for US because of sending two passports). As soon as you get your new passport, you have to send CIC with the request for updating passport. You can simply send them new passport saying that you got new. Once you have new passport, your old one is automatically cancelled. One person CAN'T hold two valid passports from the same country (this applies many countries, check with your country too). But remember, any valid visas on old passports are VALID as long as you carry both passports.

In my area, they come only once around 12 pm each day :p They are crazy, my tracking shows my passport was delivery at 21:50 pm yesterday. How come they delivered at that time? Tracking messages are not fully trustable.
