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

[sgtrigger]

My new due date: March 25, 2014. This is the second time. At least I can add my PhD degree to my file by that time pending on a successful defense!

I applied around the same time too, so I guess mine will also be postponed to March end:-(

Thanks for the reply. I am already married and had added her to my file previously. Just wanted to update her new passport and was wondering if I had to send it or she would have to but I guess I have to send them so will do so

Yes, you should update it yourself.

Seems like we are experiencing another silence period from Ottawa. No medical or pass requests for a
few weeks so far.

Hi, I am about to submit my application for Phd stream, my only question and concern is that how many hours i have to provide in my RA reference letter that i get from my supervisor? i have heard that i should not say full time like (40 hours or 30 Hours)? is that true? is there any case that because of that is rejected? if this is the case, 20 hours per week is ok ?

Hi, the immigration consultant of my university just tells me that RA time of PhD students will not be considered as working experience because this is part of our studies.

Can anyone tell me whether it is true? So sad.

Just take a look at the tracker to find out how many people have been accepted just by claiming RA/TA.

Good day,

I received the RPRF email from CIC with the following content:

"This is in reference to your application for a permanent resident visa, which has been found eligible in the Class for which it was submitted. Admissibility review (security, criminality and/or medical) is still ongoing; you will be contacted if additional information is required for that purpose."

My questions are
(1) Is it still possible that I got rejected due to TA/RA working experience issues (which is a huge pain for all PhD stream applicants)?
(2) Does admissibility review include working experience assessment?

Any reply (answers, passed experience, or guess) will be highly appreciated! Thank you guys!

Most probably you will get your medical tomorrow. This is a general text, and clearly states "...has been found eligible ...". Congrat. What is your timeline by the way?

Hi aidina, thank you so much! Further question: Even I receive ME tomorrow, CIC may still reject me, right? Thank you again.

Congrats ! that is so fast. What nationality and which Visa Office ?

 

[meyakanor]

thundervikes, you won't be rejected due to eligibility at this point. Congrats

Admissibility is the only one to stop you from getting PR now. Just don't commit any crimes and you should be fine

Not because of work experience anymore. You might be rejected if you do not pass admissibility.

Hi, She said TA is OK, but RA during PhD study does not count. I hope she is wrong.
