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

Sorry to hear that. Why you didn't get any adaptability points? I think they must give you 5 points for being in a PhD program for at least two years. Is that right?

Hello all,

As I promised before, I am updating you about my latest GCMS notes.

I did not get any adaptability points.
My home country work experience was rejected because it did not include main duties of the specified NOC code.
My PhD work experience as an RA was accepted.

P.S. I got RPRF request about a month ago.

Thanks for sharing this. So, how many points did they give you in total?

Congratulations, guys

If you receive a request for RPRF, most likely you have passed eligibility, so you are deemed to have at least 67 points. Do not commit any crimes (the reason I bring this up because I do not just mean big crimes, but also crimes where nobody got hurt such as shoplifting or drinking and driving and blowing above 0.08) and you should all be PR soon

congrats to all those who got RPRF/Medical request....;-)

Hi guys,

Congrats to everyone who has received great news recently!


I applied under PhD stream in October last year. To be on the safe side, I decided to submit another FSW application but under the eligible occupations stream this time. I sent a new application at the beginning of May 2014, but yesterday it was returned as incomplete. In the explanation letter CIO wrote that I did not provide them with evidence that I finished at least 2 years of studies towards a PhD. Simply put, they treated my application as a PhD stream application. I am confused why they did it because (a) I stated in the cover letter that I was applying under the eligible occupations stream, (b) I did not check the checkbox for a PhD letter on the checklist, and (c) I sent the package to the “eligible occupations stream” address. Is there any law that prohibits us (PhD students) from applying under other streams?

Do you know whether it is possible to appeal CIO’s decision? It’s very likely that the cap will be reached soon or has already been reached for my occupation, so I have to make them reconsider this returned application.

Thanks for any input.

Guys, I got the medical test request. I had them in separate emails, within an hour! One step closer to PR!

Did you write in the envelope the Category under which you were applying? The clearly stated that you must prominently write the category NOC number in the envelope you sent to Sidney.

Very sorry to hear that, I also sent my application and let's see what happens!!!!

We received Medical Exam request today. I could not believe seeing it on a Saturday morning. Yay!

Hello guys,

does CIC checks our credit history during the process??

I just borrowed some loan from the Bank. Will this be a problem .. I know I will pay this load within a months. FYI... I submitted the statements from another bank, which has and had, at the time of application, enough amount required for the PR under FSW-PhD category.

Congrats~

Crossing my fingers to wish myself the best luck

I received mine too today. I received request for police clearance and for RPRF. YAYYYYY!

 

[vasyok]

Yes, I did. Did you write any cover letter saying that your new application is under the eligible occupations stream and not under the phd stream?

I sent mine under the PhD stream, not under the eligible occupations. But as far as I know, they are becoming very aggressive with the PhD stream. I wouldn't be surprise if they reject my application for a simple mistake.
