Hello,
I am applying under the FSW PhD stream soon. The issue I am running into is that I am afraid the cap for this year will be reached by the time I receive my state and FBI criminal background checks. The next cap year begins in April 2014, and by that time my English proficiency exam results will have expired (they're only valid for two year, even though I only speak English!). I really do not want to spend another $300 to prove that I am fluent in my mother tongue.
My question is can I submit my completed application and then wait for CIC to request my criminal background checks? Is that a bad idea? What are your thoughts?
Any help would be most appreciated.
