Hello all, It's great to see that people are getting their ME and approvement really fast recently. Good luck. Please update my info: PPR: Sept. 30 Mail passport to Ottawa: Oct. 1, Xpresspost to carrier address Ecas status changed to DM: Oct 3. Visa received: Oct. 14.

ME & RPRF received today! Ecas still only shows "received". GCMS was ordered by the end of July, still hasn't received yet

It seems that after the thunderstorm of ME during July (application from Jun. to Oct. 2013) the VOs are all going for vacation now in August :-[ PLEASE hit me, my ME and RPRF!

Big cong, guys! Cross my fingers to wish for my ME and RPRF!

I would suggest just provide letter from department or your supervisor, no T4A nor T4.

It may confuse the VO that you have only 9 months taxable income. I would recommend just provide the reference letter. BTW, are you sure your pay stub shows 35~40 hours per WEEK?

No problem. I agreed with his comments and I also learned from this forum before I applied. The documents are still not mandatory now.

Everyone is here to help, not to misleading. The letter from the employer is never save. That's why there are "incorrect wording" and "we put together the templates". The official, or governmental documents are much saver to prove the hours and payments. But the problem is that some of us do not...

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/newcomers/before-border.asp CoPR: Confirmation of Permanent Residence; B4: Form B4, Personal Effects Accounting Document; No you don't need a us visa. They will give you a rejection letter and you'll use that to land.

Believe me. I paid thousands of $ to hire a representative. Now I just want to share the lessons I learned from him to everyone here. I provided T4, T4A, NOA for each year and letters (and more...)

It's always quite empty during the summer. There are people waiting for the start of new academic year to claim "finish two years of PHD". Then peak reaches in Oct to Dec.

Even though T4A is non-taxable income, it still count as income. VO wants to ensure the applicant's "Ability to Become Economically Established" in Canada. Therefore it helps, I think. Also you'd better have a letter explaining the situation that RAship goes to T4A as the policy of your university.

No one has TA during summer. Also RA and TA are under same NOC. So I won't say you need to worry about it.

Cap for this year (till May 2015) is 500 for FSW PHD stream. EOI will replace CEC, FSW, PNP from January 2015. You can estimate your score now using Australian system to get a rough idea about EOI.

The government, including CIC, only fully trust your work hours if you have T4, pay stub, NOA, ROE or other official documents. Working without taxable payment is doubtful. Thus you can provide letters explaining about this either by your boss or the department (like most of us did for our...

I can't agree more. That's what the "document request" and the interview for. There are people get rejected after submitting the supplementary documents such as bank history thus substituted evaluation matters. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "11.2...

My opinion about RA/TA hours is as follows, hopefully can help to answer this most popular but hardest question. Principle: VO is human being. Therefore there is no answer for "enough" hours that can guarantee the "pass". If your support document is strong, then VO will be happy to go through...

1. Yes 2. Yes. But they may ask for the 6 months history anytime after receive your package. I know someone get the request in 3 weeks.

One more missed update
