    I know two students in my department who applied under this stream and got rejected for their reference letters. I would guess it is higher for those who don't know to update. I'm pretty sure I would have been rejected if I did not update my letters.

    I received the Confirmation of Permanent Residence letter on Thursday. And as you said, no visa counter foil required. There is one photograph attached to the letter. It does not mention that I need to bring any other photographs, but should I bring them with me when I land?

    Thanks for this reply. So, just to clarify, you mean I won't get a passport request from them? Just the COPR in the mail only? Also, I received my latest round of GCMS notes this morning. The updated reference letters made a huge difference in the second review of my application. Whereas...

    My status on ECAS shows my medical results received and "Decision Made", but they haven't contacted me yet.

    You can include the e-statement just to be safe, but the Statement of Account may have similar information. At TD, I asked them to include and they gave me a letter that said the average amount held in my account over each of the past six months. BMO's letter did not include this, so I...

    The bank will provide you with a letter called a "Statement of Account" by some of the banks. It shows the account number and amount, with an official stamp by the bank. Sometimes they will make you pay a small fee to get this letter. BMO charged me $10, but at TD it was free. I'm not sure...

    Please update my information in the tracker. RPRF request and Biometric data sheet request received 6 December 2013. No medicals request yet. And I had sent updated reference letters after seeing in my GCMS that first reviewer only awarded 61 points. Thanks.

    Just an update on my status. I'm a September 2012 applicant. Received my GCMS notes today. My assessment date has been pushed back, yet again. It now shows a deadline of 13 January 2014. It has been pushed back repeatedly, first from August 2013, to November 2013, and now to January 2014...

    This information is very helpful. I really appreciate it. On the GCMS it still says Eligibility Assessment: Not Started. So that is an encouraging sign. I have requested updated GCMS, as the one I have was only current as of early June. I will let everyone know if I get any further updates...

    Thanks for your response. I hope this is the case and that my application will get a further review to take into account the updated employment letters. It seems that perhaps letters which are almost a copy-and-paste of NOC information are preferred over detailed letters which actually show...

    I requested my GCMS Notes and saw that SL01732 only awarded me 62 points in a review in May 2013. Out of all my work experience, they only recognized two months work experience total. My work experience had included university professor, RA, TA, and an administrative job. I sent updated...

    Yes, exactly. My attestation letter was NOT in a sealed envelope, but the letter itself did have an embossed stamp (also known as a seal) on it. This kind of seal is what is required. I do not think that a sealed envelope is what CIC is requesting. And for those who said they submitted a...

    Yes, I included a letter from my direct supervisor detailing the work I do as a course instructor/TA, another letter from Human Resources that had the exact info of my work dates and pay rates, and then of course the PhD attestation letter from the Faculty of Graduate Studies.
