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

[PhdStream]

Hi guys,

If I submit bank certification letter with enough money (but not the statements for 6 months) at the time of application submission. Will they return or reject the application or ask for the statement?

Is there any chance where they will reject my application if my supervisor write letter that I am a full-time post-secondary research assistant?

Nope.. Proof of funds is not mandatory to submit anyways. If they want to see 6 months backlog, they will send the request at a later date.

Yes. There was a case that CIO rejected one applicant because of this. Read the post by ojohn22 (http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/applicant-from-phd-program-after-5-nov-2011-connect-here-to-get-status-t87348.9420.html)

That case was very unfair and unfortunate. I am wondering if s/he got any answer from CIC?

Thanks a lot for you answer. I still have one more question, how many hours/week normally other applicants shows for this purpose. I am asking because, I receive graduate research studentship, which is non-taxable, and I don't have any documents (like contract, paystub) showing hours/week.

Preferably, no more than 20 hours/week.

26 September 2013 - Canada’s Foreign Service Officers Reach Tentative Agreement with Federal Government
The Professional Association of Foreign Service Officers is pleased to announce that a tentative agreement has been reached with the Treasury Board of Canada to end our six-month labour dispute.

“PAFSO is satisfied with this deal,” said PAFSO President Tim Edwards.“This agreement was reached through compromises on both sides,” continued Edwards. “We salute the spirit of constructive engagement which our employer brought to our latest discussions. This deal is a victory for free and fair bargaining in the federal public service.”

With the signing of this tentative agreement PAFSO has ordered an immediate suspension of all strike measures and work to rule. The agreement requires ratification by the PAFSO membership and approval by the full Treasury Board. PAFSO’s Executive Committee and Treasury Board president Tony Clement have agreed to recommend acceptance of the offer.

“We are pleased that the Government has recognized the tremendous value and dedication which Foreign Service Officers provide to Canadians and their elected representatives,” said Edwards. “It has been a hard-fought battle and I would like to salute the unity, resolve, and stamina of our members in securing a fair and equitable deal. We’re excited to get back to doing the work we love, promoting and protecting Canada’s values and interests abroad.”

The 1,350 Foreign Service Officers have been without a contract since July 1, 2011 and in a legal strike position since April 2, 2013. This agreement concludes the longest federal public service strike since the introduction of collective bargaining in 1967.

That was an awful strike that hit me like many others. But immigration applications were not affected.

How come immigration applications were not affected ? Things were very slow, they have almost stopped requesting documents since June

PR applications were affected very badly. Many of us have passed our 18-19th month, and are still waiting. They have almost stopped working on PR applications since June. But, hopefully, they will resume work very soon as PFASO ordered an immediate suspension of all strike measures.

I got my doc request in August. It's common to be slow in summer. Last year in summer they were very slow too and it was not because of any strike.
I got my doc request in August which was in the middle of the strike. By the way, this was visa officers' strike for temporary residents such as workers and students, not permanent residency applications.

I don't think the slowness was due to the strike.
