Dude, can you post your nationality and number of applicants?

I was wondering if it is OK to get a letter of attestation confirming two years of Ph.D. as well as good academic standing from the director of graduate studies???..apparently, my univ doesn't issue such letters from the registrar/dean
they said the director is equivalent..i'm confused!

[MapleDream]

I'm really sorry to hear that MappleDream. Do you mind sharing the reasons and the letter? Best course of action is to find whatever is wrong and reapply as soon as you can. I hope we can all help you to fix this ASAP.

I thought I could get the adaptability score, but no, I didn't get it.  Anyway, the most important thing for me at the moment is my reserch, I'll reapply after my defence.

Hi again! One silly question (or may be not  )

My application is almost complete. I am claiming 1 year of RA/TA as work exp. besides other work exp. for which I have a letter from employer. The thing is that my boss is on maternity leave and can give me ref. letter for RA/TA in 2nd week of April. So I am wondering if I can send my application now without the ref. letter and explain this in the cover letter or so?

That is not advisable. Wait a week and send the best application you can.

Holy crap!!! Congratulations !!! It took them 18 days to charge my credit card, and 50+ days for some of the earlier applicants!!! Hopefully the rest of the process will be much faster too

I hope so...

Hi, I double-checked the adaptability points for the applicants (like us) having 2 or more years of study in PhD program in a Canadian university. We can definitely claim 5 points. It's written in the operational manual.

However, I was still wondering why MapleDream's case on claiming adaptability points was not accepted.

Hey guys,
i have another question (again  )..
so in the generic application form, where it says to write about dependants, it says to write about your spouse and all your children, who are not already permanent residents or citizens of canada...we have a 4 month old son who is a canadian citizen...so i'm assuming we don't have to include him here ..am i right??...this takes me to the 3rd Q on the form- how many family members including you are in this application..i wrote 3 there because there is me, my husband and my son...but now i feel as if i should write 2 there (just me and hus)...can anyone please clarify?...in the instructions they tell us to include EVERYONE!..that's why i'm even more confused

Hi anjuku,
In my opinion, your child is still your dependent. Though born in canada, you still need to provide his information in the application. You can call CIC and get it confirmed.
