Applicant from PhD program after 5 Nov, 2011 connect here to get status

[TyrusX]

Hahaha yes third timer here! Maybe I can set a guinness record for the applicant who tried the most streams (CEC, PNP, PhD stream). Jokes aside I really hope this one works. Fingers crossed and thanks!

Guys, I made a small Histogram of the Countries which applied in the first year of the stream:

Vietnam 1
USA 2
UK 1
Singapore 1
Russia 1
PRC 1
Pakistan 2
Nigeria 2
Mexico 2
Malaysia 1
Iraq 1
Iran 33
Indonesia 1
India 12
Georgia 1
France 2
Egypt 9
China 29
Brazil 1
Bangladesh 4

We have about 20 nationalities represented, and the vast majority is of Iranians and Chineses. Almost 3 times the amount of people from Egypt, 2.6 of Indians. Kinda crazy.

Thank you. I will give it a try because I changed my address on ECAS weeks ago for the second time and still hasn't changed.

Those who did their medical, how long does the whole thing take? I have an appointment around noon and some commitments in the afternoon, just wondering if I should re-schedule!

I would probably re-schedule. In my case, the whole process took a little more than 3 hours. The actual medical exam is pretty fast, but you have to wait in line to be attended, even when you have an appointment. Then they send you to the x-rays. Usually, you need to get your x-ray in a different location. Finally, the step that took the longest was the blood work. They had the biggest lineup and they were extremely slow.

We need to investigate the effect of noise on that.

LOL. Noise, such as PRC not being counted as China?
If I have the time. I will see how many rejections we got per nationality.
Unfortunately given the small amount of people in most nationalities, we are going to have things like: French, 100% rejected! Don't come to Canada! You are not welcome, go to Quebec!

But I'm pretty sure this statistics more or less hold when considered the 1000 applicants. Especially for the larger nationalities. Curiously, the Philippines is very much non present here.

ECAS updates "Medical results have been received". 50 days after the medical exam has been done.

Philippines - yes I kinda notice that. Especially since from the stats that CIC provides shows that they are one of the top 3 applicants across the board. I'm guessing there are mostly coming in as other categories e.g. blue collar and other skilled workers.

Think we can expect something next week. Mine as on Feb 5. So your was 48 days ago. I just called the doctor to see when did they send my report to CIC. I think they may have taken more than usual.

Yup, not to mention nannies, kitchen assistance, etc. One thing is they have no problem with English.
