    Salam20, would you let me know what would happen when you do not hold any SIN and contract for your research award? I have the same situation, and would like to know if there's the risk that they do not consider it as RA. Have you seen/heard any bad news about that? Thanks

    Hi everyone, I'm filling out the forms. Just some quick questions I'd appreciate if you help me out: - Which visa office do you suggest? I want to choose one for Canada (I think the one for Iran, Turkey embassy, takes a lifetime. Doesn't it?). Is it only Ottawa? Or there are other offices to...

    Hey, Be careful! In order for you to apply for this stream, you should announce you do not have intention to live in Quebec after your graduation as far as I know. Applying for both the categories is conflicting! Because Quebec skill worker category holds the same requirement but for Quebec...

    Thanks for the reply. You know, the problem is that almost all the other PhD students in Quebec that I know, have already applied for CSQ, or they have just arrived in Quebec, and are not eligible yet for this category. So, I can find absolutely no other specimen to ask about their experience...
