Thanks, I guess i was confused from posts on another thread

Thanks mgnlky and dr. feras that's good to know

I agree, one definitely has more leeway by the time the application reaches that stage

Thanks DEEPCUR that sounds like a great idea!

Thanks crescent_jam I wasn't aware that reference letters have to be explicitly addressed to CIC

Anyone?
