Traitor!

My co-supervisor, who is Canadian, deserted to the USA! But it beautiful here, 40 degrees every other day!
Come on CIC, where is my MD!? I'm going back to Canada tonight, I deserve it!

I share pretty much the same sentiments as GeoCanadian , but I'm glad that you got things worked out, and hopefully you (and other early March guys as well) will get your medicals soon. And yeah, Phoenix winter would be a substansial improvement over Alberta...

I see... Well, as long as you don't decide to stay in the U.S. forever, I guess we can forgive you... ;D Good luck with everything...

I saw an appearance of my address on my eCas status (just today), though I have yet to receive anything from Ottawa. Everything else is exactly the same (only said 'We received bla bla bla' when I clicked 'IN PROCESS'). Guys, check your online status as well, and see if anything shows up.

Me too.

Aaron2012, the appeal may take about 1 month or so to be processed. I guess I was lucky to have received my PER just within 4 days after appealing. But if you don't receive the email concerning your case, write another letter in which state that you believe there was a mistake in the assessment of your application and quote IMM7000 (Factor 6.B) and OP6B (Chapter 9.15.b) in pursuant to R83:

B. Previous study in Canada:
• You or your accompanying spouse or common-law partner studied at a
post-secondary institution in Canada for at least two years on a full-time basis.
This must have been done after the age of 17 and with a valid study permit.

b) Previous study in Canada:
• Award five points if the applicant or accompanying spouse or common- law
partner completed a program of full-time study of at least two years' duration
at a post-secondary institution in Canada, if this occurred after the age of
seventeen and with valid study permits.
(The person is not required to have obtained an educational credential for these
two years of study in Canada to earn the points, but simply to have completed at
least two years of study.)

And then ask to reconsider your application for further review. Fax this letter to (902) 270-8530. I have no idea what number is this, except that it works. On the cover page, write your name and application number. You will get a regular email from the same address your NER came from, saying that your application has been forwarded to a visa office for further processing.

And keep fighting. We are eligible for those 5 adaptability points.

Thanks very much for your very detailed information, kg.jadu. I appreciate it a lot!

 

[Aaron2012]

It took me near a month to receive their feedback. Maybe you just need a little more patience. A few overturned the NER decisions successfully. Your situation is similar as theirs.

Thanks very much, MapleDream. You guys are awesome.

Hi,

My e-cas status has my address as well. Does that mean anything?

 

[moonbow2010]

I googled and found out that appearance of the address meant starting processing our cases.

It could lead to medical requests(hopefully, for all of us, it is the case), interview requests or something else.

Pray for all the PhD applicants.

Hello everybody,
I don't post very often but I just wanted to confirm that my ecas also shows my address now.
This is great because I am moving at the end of the month and I was wondering how I was going to let them know about my new address.
Hope all of us get medical requests soon

I got NER on 24th of May..but my address is also updated. So, I dont think it means anything significant. I have appealed though.......

Did you encounter the same problem of the adaptability points calculation for Canadian education experience?

 

[asbereth]

application reached CIO in Sedney Dec. 7th, 2011
CC charged Jan 26,2012
file number Feb 24, 2012
Current status: in process
# of persons 4
TA/RA included
Egypt

Hi Karmen, I just noticed that you got your PER on Feb 24? So you haven't heard anything from Ottawa yet? Hmmm, this could mean that the processing date actually depends on the date the application is received rather than PER?

 

[TRT_Flynn]

I got a lot of information from you guys. Thank you! Here is my timeline:

Application reached CIO: March 9, 2012
PER issued: Mar 23, 2012
E-CAS status: In Process
Number of persons in application: 2
TA/RA experience: Included
Nationality: Chinese

BTW, I don't think home address on ecas means anything. I updated my home address one month ago by phone and then it showed on ecas after that.

Nope..insufficient evidence that I am currently enrolled and completed at least two years....

I think everyone from the MI-3 and Mi-4 got their address on e-cas today. Lots of people excited on other threads as well.
They probably upgraded another version of their software to e-cas or just upgraded everyones address in batch.
