Hey guys, Does anyone here have 100% legit detailed info about what's included in medicals? Does blood and urine work include tests for controlled substances? Thanks

Hey. Im a phd student with 2.5 years of RA/TA in my masters and 1 year of RA/TA in my phd. i've applied in the middle of july. Ill let ya all know how it goes.

Ugh waiting for Alberta to catch up... :(

Same here. Im doing my phd and am employed by the university as a RA/TA. I have letters from my supervisors, human resources and T4/T4A's. Still not sure whether I meet the graduate stream requirements but at this point I'm just going to apply and see what happens.

ielts results are good for one year

That's what I wanted to know, thanks!

Speaking of processing times, they refer to 'months required to finalize applications'. So is it the total time it takes to receive PR status from the moment they receive an application, or is it the time it takes from the moment when you submit medicals and pay RPR fee and stuff like that?

I'm mailing my application this week and then I'll let you know what happens! I'm pretty sure that you MUST include your family members, regardless of whether they will accompanying you or not. So yes, include your wife.

A quick update. I contacted Martha Hassenfratz, she's a Client Service Coordinator at the Canadian Consulate in Buffalo. I asked her specifically whether work experience as a RA/TA under study permit after finishing first Canadian degree would count and that's what she said: So long as you have...

Never mind, it's the day you met all degree requirements, convocation doesn't matter.

I just called CIC and an agent told me that work experience under study permit won't count towards one year post-graduation requirement. She said it has to be under work permit. About a month ago I was told it could. Seems to me that those guys don't know f*ck all and that it's impossible to get...

Hey guys, I'm looking to apply under CEC graduate stream but I can't figure something out... Maybe some of you know this. So for those who have graduate degrees (Masters, PhD), what is considered the day of graduation? Is it the day when you officially met all the degree requirements (such as...

Awesome! Looks like I'm going to do the exact same thing! Thanks a lot and good luck with your application!

Im in the same boat. I finished my MSc and now im one year into my PhD. Ive been trying to find out exact same information. I talked to a CIC agent today and from what I understood RA/TA (NOC 4122) can count towards work experience, just as long as it's been acquired legally (i.e. study or work...

So I just talked to a CIC agent... I dont think those guys have a clue about whats going on haha It was slow and painful, but i finally managed to describe my situation to him and he said that I can't apply as a graduate, cuz my work experience was obtained with a study permit and not a work...

Hey thanks a lot for your help man! Yah Im employed by the university and I could get my supervisors to write pretty much whatever I want in letters of reference. I couldn't find any information regarding a minimum wage requirement, from which I assume that as long as I have T4 slips showing...

Hi all, I've tried to find this information on the CIC website, as well as here, but I'm still very confused about requirements for the CEC category. I have completed an M.Sc. degree at a Canadian university. As part of my program I was a full-time RA and a part-time TA (NOC 4122) for 2.5 years...
