    Hi Everybody, We landed on April 26th. So here is my experience: The landing process couldn't have gone more smoothly. We parked the car before reaching the border and walked. A good decision, because there is always a long line of cars waiting to be cleared to pass the border. The whole thing...

    I am writing this here, because this may help other people who have waited a long time as well. During this whole time, I emailed CPC-Ottawa every couple of months to see what is happening with my file. They always said it was in process and I have to keep my correspondence at a minimum. Last...

    Hi Guys, I had not checked this forum for a long time because of so many things happening in my life recently. But I thought I have to share this news. We got Medical and RPRF requests yesterday. It took them one and half year to process our application, but it seems that at last they got that...

    You'll not be rejected because you have only TA experience, unless your TA work experience is not continuous and is less than equivalent of one year full time work. My friend has applied with TA only and got PER.

    Yeah, I have passed the eligibility. The date is Nov 2nd. Actually I had not paid attention before, but this is the date the processing of my application has begun based on ECAS status. I am not awarded the points for studying in Canada for two years and the officer has put a note that they are...

    You know, our due date for criminality check is mid-March. So maybe I'll wait to see what happens by then. If nothing happens, I am going to see an MP. I am not sure if RCMP does a better job if I apply for clearance certificate personally.

    Well, I got my CAIPS notes today and it seems we are waiting for more than nine months for police clearance from RCMP. This is so ridiculous I don't know what to say. BTW, does anyone know if these due dates mentioned on the file mean anything or not?

    I haven't heard anything useful from Ottawa. I sent them an email about two weeks ago and they got back to me a couple of days ago saying that my file is under process.

    I sent them an email about two weeks ago, asking about status of my application and this is their reply: I think this is a generic answer they send to everybody who asks about his/her status.

    No, you have to answer NO to both questions. This is not a question that you can answer with not applicable. This determines whether you are eligible to apply or not.

    Your application is returned because you have left a question blank. Your answer to 5a and 5b should be NO, if you have never received such scholorship. No part of the application should be left blank. In general, if something is not applicable, you should write N/A in front of the question.

    I really think what they mean by a sealed letter is not a stamped one but an embossed one (when you put the letter under pressure, there will be a raised pattern) like these: http://www.embossedprinting.com/embossed-printing-pics.html I think so because all the people form my university are...
