    Hi, S_Govind, N_O, a_nashed, Stuck In Quebec, asbereth and hooman2012, thanks for all your concerns and recommendations. I didn't order any GCMS so I don't know which VO was assigned to me. Also I didn't update any of my working experience as I have always been a RA/TA. The thing is, I have...

    cc charged means you passed CIO in Sydney, not CPP in Ottwa. i believe you are new in this forum as months ago several friends in this forum had been rejected by CIO in Sydney due to not being awarded 5pts from adaptability. after appealing, they finally had the adaptability 5pts. however...

    Hi New13, i believe you are in the same situation like me: 2 years PhD study, also 2 years TA/RA experience, 16pts for language, single, no relatives in Canada. so that's 66pts. unless cic awards you 5pts for adaptability, you may fall into the same problem as i did. as a graduate student...

    my IELTS is 16pts. but i have only TA/RA as working experience. so the 5pts from adaptability is crucial for me. without the 5pts i will be less than 67pts.

    Very sorry to hear that... Damn it, seems like I may fall into the same situation... don't understand why CIO did't mention the funding issue at the first place, though it gave us PER. ???

    seems CIC wants you to clarify where does the " large deposits " come from. it would be better if you could provide that info as well GOOD LUCK!

    Hi TyrusX, I have the similar situation of not providing enough funds, though I have got PER as well in May. If I want to update some of my documents now, any idea where do we send the new docs? I couldn't find the CPP-O address online. Thanks.

    Probably, I am afraid there is no body in CPP possessing a Ph.D. degree, which suggests they have no idea how difficult to pursue a Ph.D. :P That's why they don't give us 5 pts for adaptability. ;D

    well, the funny thing is, the funds i submitted is even less than $8k, CIO still gives me PER. ;D but Ottawa may not be so generous.

    sorry, i was supposed to say "at first i thought i would be rejected by CIO since i did not calculate or show the working hours, however, they sent me the PER email anyway. is that just to be lucky or CIO deems PHD stream an independent catagory?"
