Hey guys,

i am from India. It is quite possible that the PR system is similar to how it is in the US for green card. In the US they want to make sure all nationalities are more or less proportionally represented. It is common (and in fact a known thing) for chinese and Indian nationals to have a longer wait than people from say xx country . No offense to anyone.

I suspect that too. I assumed that we would have a lot of qualified and skilled applicants from India and China , and that probably partially explained why some of the applicants have longer waiting times. I do hope that all of the early applicants (and everybody else obviously) will get their PER's soon

Thanks for this . My suspicion right now is that they do check the validity of the documents somehow, and different countries have different levels of thrust inside CIC.
But better put this idea on the list of crazy speculations. If everyone updates their nationality, we can confirm if there is such a trend or not.

Based on Reno's case, they also seem to check your work experience as well during eligibility review (before PER), though I guess the VO would obviously have the final say (and they purposefully made it ambiguous by saying that they only checked your PhD enrollment, but we know for sure that that's not all they do before PER).

One very glaring trend from the spreadsheet though, none of the single applicants with only TA/RA has been granted PER (though we did indeed see some applicants with only TA/RA experience got their PER's already, and they're among the fastest). And most people with more than one applicants usually claimed some sort of adaptability points from their spouses as well.

I do perceive that. However, they should bring everything above board.

Agreed. Keep posting your nationalities people!

I am among the early applicants. I have no clue when AOR will come.

My guess is somewhere between today and two months from now, at least.

which number you call? would you mind tell me?thx

It's almost 100 days for me, but no PER yet. I did call CIC to ask about the status, but they was unable to tell me anything, except that my application had been received in December.

I'm giving up my hope  

Anyway, here is my additional info:
No. of applicants: 2
TA/RA experience: Other + included
Nationalities: Vietnam

Hey everyone,

I can't believe I just found this site today...and I spent the last three hours reading through your posts! Very helpful indeed!

So my application was received by CIC on March 8th, and I just found out they charged my cc yesterday. I wasn't expecting this at all because I thought I'll just be waiting endlessly!!

Anyway, I'm a completely newbie and if it's a stupid question, please be patient with me^^ I'm wondering since when we can track our status on their website? Is it after you receive the PER? Or if not, when would it be? And what number should I use if I haven't received any letter from CIC yet?

Thanks a lot, and finally I feel that I'm not alone:)

Hi Luigiovemma, can you post your nationality,the kind of work experience you have, and the number of applicants?
E-cas is available when you application is scanned for the first time, but no one can tell you exactly when that happens after being cashed. I would say about 10 days nowadays.
You should use your Client Id, that is on your study permit (a number like xxxx-xxxx).

I'm posting your data on the spreadsheet.

[Luigiovemma]

Sure.

Nationality: China
Work experience: TA/RA only
Applicants#: 2
