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

[hamed_hamed_hamed]

Well, for my major, a lot of US educated PhDs got jobs as assistant professors here. They are mostly without PRs.

In contrast, all my senior fellows had PR at hand when they apply for jobs here.

They still end up going back to the home country.

Those US educated ones should be from good universities. If they got it without being a PR, that's a good news.
Also I've heard from my supervisor that 1 out of 10 PhD graduates may get a job at university.

Thanks for sharing One more thing: is the money actually here in Canada, or did you use a bank statement from a bank back home?

It's hard to say whether they consider the 6 months bank statement transaction history that you sent before they requested it. I would have thought that they would, but after TyrusX mentioned that he only included one month transaction history, and he did NOT get requested to submit additional bank statement history, it's hard to say.

The money that I showed is all in Canadian bank accounts (chequeing and saving).

and here we go...
If someone shows that they receive social benefits, the application is rejected.
What about when a DEPENDENT gets social benefits, while you still have the required funds?????


utopie: have you thought about just getting a post grad VISA (3 years in the case of a PhD) and apply to CEC after you've worked in Canada as a prof for 2 years?
I have a friend who did her post doc in Canada; she applied to CEC after I applied to FSW, and she already got her PR...

Anyway, I'm like you: so close, but still so far.

Yes CEC is another option. I actually applied the first time under CEC, got even the medical exam request, paid for it only to receive an email saying I was missing 200 worked hours out of 1950 hours. I was pissed. I think PNP would be the fastest road for me or sponsorship but I don't like the latter (way too personal)

My friend had a question regarding adaptability factor. His application recently got refused from CPP-O because of giving 0 point out of 10 in adaptability, However, he was given 5/10 in adaptability from CIO in Sydney. Have any of you faced this condition? and if so, what have you done?

Your friend's case is unique, though we will probably hear a lot more about applications in similar situations within the following months.

It does look like that Sydney and Ottawa were really differing here in their opinion regarding the previous study adaptability points. MapleDream's Ottawa response gave a lot of people a hope that Ottawa too would honor Sydney's decision to award the 5 points, but I think your friend's rejection confirmed it.

For all applicants out there that plan on relying on these 5 points to qualify, I'd strongly suggest that you wait until you can be sure to have more than 67 points without the previous study adaptability points

The money that I showed is all in Canadian bank accounts (chequeing and saving).

Thanks for sharing. Maybe that's why they didn't ask you (or rgb, or TyrusX) to provide further proof of funds documentation.

According OP 6, if an applicant is eligible he/she will get 5 pts from adaptability automatically. To get get 5pts one has complete 2 yrs of study here. To earn one need to complete his/her degree.

How VO is making such type of mistakes. ......

Is it possible to appeal by giving reference to OP6 B ????

If you are using TD everyday savings account, then the money is available anytime from ATM machine, or transferable to chequing account (like mine). I don't think it does make any problem.

I am planning to check this with the bank authorities. As it is RSP, i think, it is not possible to transfer it it to chequing account. It is like long term investment.

Would you be able to cash/debit the money whenever you decide? If yes, then it should be fine. I think the important criteria is "availability" of the money.

I can, but have to pay the tax, I think. Need to check this with the bank. Thanks for the reply.

Please check below:

I am pretty sure that TD everyday savings account is transferable and available anytime one requires. However, the RSP is included in investment plans which may need authorization to draw.

Thanks for the link... But mine is Daily Interest Savings which is not the same as Everyday savings. I also thought that both are same. Unfortunately, Daily Interest Savings is under RSP. I will post the details after the discussion with the bank staff.

to be on the safe side i think you should transfer the money to your checking or normal savings bank account..because the officer verifying your file may not even bother to call up the bank and enquire about the nature of the account you have it in now...they may just come to the conclusion that its not readily available and transferable

Ya, anjuku, I am also having the same opinion. But it is not possible to make the transfers online. From my research, I understood that only students and first time home buyers can withdraw the amount from RSP without a penalty. Otherwise, one has to sacrifice some amount as tax (penalty). Need to talk to an advisor. Anyway, for the safe side, I am planning to transfer the amount to chequing if I can.

Hi fellows,

My friend had a question regarding adaptability factor. His application recently got refused from CPP-O because of giving 0 point out of 10 in adaptability, However, he was given 5/10 in adaptability from CIO in Sydney. Have any of you faced this condition? and if so, what have you done?

Do you mind answering some of my questions, cos it is also my concern.
Was he rejected before receiving doc request? Did he apply under the phd stream? Did he claim the adaptability points when applying? How did he know he got the points from CIO? How many points did he get according to Ottawa's evaluation? Is it possible to let us know the wording in the refusal letter?

Thanks

I invested around 10,000 dollars in a company, in June 2012, for a higher interest.
It was stated in the contract that I could withdraw the money if I notified the company in advance.
For sure.... I would be charged for that.....

Now.... I am requested to provide the proof of funds.... in the past six months.
Question 1: Does CIC accept the invested fund that could be claimed as transferable?
Question 2: Which option is better for me?
> transfer the money into my bank account, and explain the fund flow history by the contract and transaction record
> submit the contract to CIC, and explain why it is transferable.

BTW.... here is my timeline.....
Submit: January 2012
NER since 0 point at 2 years' Ph.D study: March 2012
PER: April 2012
Request for fund proof: January 2013

Thanks so much for your time.....
