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

The "the number of applications received" most probably refers to the applications that have gone through the first step (preliminary check with payment processing). Mine was mailed to CIO on Nov-5 and received by CIO on Nov-9. Haven'r received any update yet.

Good luck to everyone!

@ MASOUD2011: i also think so... and welcome to this thread... i'll be opening an online data base to keep track of the applicants. btw, u sent on 5 Nov?! that was fast... and did u check whether they have charged your Credit card/ bank draft? that's a great way to tell whether your application passes the eligibility test.

Okay guys,
The website clearly states that the applications should be sent to CIO. Also, the CIO is accepting PhD stream applications.

Did any of you guys check whether the CIO cashed their money orders/bank drafts yet?

Hi
Any one of you konw that if some has already application SW3, can move it to PhD stream?
My application at buffalo VO since Feb 2011. Can I ask them to move my application to PhD stream.
Thank you.

 

[MASOUD2011]

Why do you want to switch to the new stream? It's not clear yet whether it is a fast track stream or not. Even if you could, that'd probably cost you a delay. That's my thought.

Not yet and it sounds weird as it used to be done in a couple of weeks for skilled worker program.

There could a possibility that they charge us when the file number is issued. Any other thought?

I do not think so. I would suggest you check the spreadsheet of July 1 FSW. As you can see, the CIO is dealing with SEPT applications, so I guess you might need to wait for another two months to get charged. FSW-PHD does not seem to be as fast as CEC.
