Either way is ok. Firstly, you have to get your admission from university. After you finish your master degree, you can extend your visa and study permit to continue your phd degree. Mostly, you apply master first, but you get an implicit admission from supervisor if you finish your master, you will be given a phd offer later.

Hi there,

I have a question regarding my application for PhD stream. I sent my documents on late January and they have deducted money from my banking account on Feb 21st. Today when I'm checking my bank account again I see that they have credited my account again. Why is that happening? Is there any idea about why did they do it?

thanks

Are you sure it's not refund?

I got refund with credit card, but still don't know what was the reason.

Based on my conversations with him on the other thread, I believe he got refund.

@hadikhan64, and smallkick

I knew a couple of friends of mine who applied for FSW2 and their application was returned and refunded because the work experience letter/references were not good enough. Not good enough in the sense that their job titles didn't match the noc or that the job description (was incomplete or) didn't match the noc description. I believe in our case, FSW3, if that happened they will not count we will lose our work experience points and we would be less than 67.

I hope that was helpful.

That may be a reason. thanks ejamal.

Also, I remembered one of them got NER (and he got a refund) because he claimed that he had three years of work experience. His claim was based on the fact that he worked a full-time job for a two years and during the same time he had another part-time job. He got an NER letter stating that he can't claim both. And based on just 2 years of work experience he didn't have enough points.

Also, if your application was incomplete (i.e before CIC processed your check) your whole application will be returned. If they rejected the application after they chased your check (i.e NER), they will not send you back your documents. You have to email them, and ask them to send back your documents. And, there is a time frame for that after which you can not ask them to send you back your documents.

Are you sure that we need to have 67 points for PhD stream as well? I don't think so.
Of course you need 67 points. We share the same minimum requirements that all the other FSW classes. This includes minimum of an year of work experience, IETLS, and the 67 points, and etc. PLUS the requirements for the PHD stream.
