    I had the same problem and I asked immigration officer about it during landing and he said it was not a big deal and he didn't correct it. But make sure to keep the entry stamp of Sept. 2009 carefully. You may need it as a proof if there is an issue in the future.

    Thanks. I applied from Quebec. CIC didn't ask any document about proof of intention to live outside of Quebec.

    Thanks. It seems they don't know I have two applications in parallel. I only have one original FBI certificate and I sent it with my PhD application in April 2013. In November 2013 they asked FBI certificate for my CEC application. I told them it was with my PhD application and they took a while...

    Thanks. I used RA only for CEC application. Also I live in Quebec. But CIC didn't ask me about intention to leave Quebec. I checked my GCMS notes, in October 2013 one VO (JDxxxxx) said he didn't accept my 2 years RA experience as I was studying fulltime. But in November 2013 another VO...

    Hi all, I just got my GCMS (requested on May 24). Total points=71. For adaptability CIO awarded 5 points for previous PhD study in Canada. But they didn't award points for spouse's education (should get 4 points). I don't think CPPO will award 5 points for previous study. Should I contact them...
