    Thanks for this. I couldn't find the link to file for this. Could you forward it to me, please? I figure that it can't hurt to put pressure on and make enquiries. I realise my application was sent 'only' 9 months ago but still... So my application would be in Ottawa? Is that where Sydney...

    Hi all, My application was deemed to meet Sydney's minimal requirements a while ago and they forwarded it to a regional processing office. Does anyone know if there is a way that I can enquire about the status of my application and/or how much longer I can expect to wait? Thanks a million!

    PhD Stream - Rejection

    Thanks for your good wishes. I only know that i don't have to re-submit my exam results because they are still valid for over a year. The document checklist (and other documents, if I remember correctly) states that the tests must be no older than 2 years, otherwise you have to re-take and...

    Where are you reading that? If its on the document checklist I think you are mistaken UNLESS you have worked FULL TIME in Canada. It does not, for example, say part time equivalent. - appropriate authorization refers to visa status: i.e. proof that you are allowed to work: your study permit...

    re (2) which helps answer (1): you are not required to send paystubs or t4/t4a's: on the document checklist these are all examples of 'additional supporting documents' which may be included; hence not essential. I am having exactly the same problem as you because of the way in which RA appears...

    Thanks so much; really helpful. I put one application in and had it rejected (for failing to demonstrate adequate work experience). Are people interested in those dates? I'm putting a new application in soon, so I'll add details then. Where is this excel document, by the way? link please? This...

    hi, quick question re General Application Form: IMM 0008 Education/Occupation: Question 1: Highest level of education I am a 3rd year PhD student but have not yet earned my PhD degree. I have a MA and BA. Is the *highest* level of education the one you have completed or have 'participated'...

    Hi, I'm about to start my application for PR. If i do this from Canada or from my home country (UK): does it make any difference? I was rejected from Sydney CIC, was just wondering if I apply from abroad if it went to a different office and if my chances might be any better or different. Any...

    Hi all, Just to clarify: a copy of some of the documents is required (i.e. not the original document itself); so, a passport, for example - you would send a copy, right? Would this copy have to be signed by a notary? For some reason I thought all copies (and not just those translated documents)...

    "There is no need to notarize the copy of passport or birth certificate. Also, there is no need to have the reference letter signed by notary. Since my degree was not in English, I sent them the ofiicial translation of my degree." - really?! Is this definitely true? For some reason, I thought...

    Also, I should say that they rejected my application before they I re-sent the reference letter but my point is that I'm 99.99% sure that I had sent the letter in the first place. I was not so much asking for re-consideration (because I know decisions are final and no extra material will be...

    Thanks for your help so far. Let me clarify a couple things and copy both letters I received from CIC, the first rejecting my application and the second refusing to consider my appeal - see below. My worry is about work experience. 37.5 hours/week (or equivalent part time) is required: is this...
