Applicant from PhD program after 5 Nov, 2011 connect here to get status

[hf_2014]

My friend send his application Dec 10th and he is worried. Do you mean applicants after dec 5th are out of the game?

No! I think the cap is not reached. I asked them about it, but they didn't provide further information. However, they said my application was put into queue in the early January. Why it is not charged? it is obvious they are quite slow. If the cap was reached then, they would send back applications.

My E-cas is updated and it is funny. The first 2 line says,
We have received you application on April 2013.
We started processing your application on Feb 2015.

And yes, it is decision made now.

Mine is "decision made" now and all 4 lines are appeared.

Hey Ace_2012, Congratulations. Finally you also got PPR. Any idea why it took so long in your case?

Thank you my friend. I hope we both get the PR soon.
Well, that is a good question. One might think that CIC loved us so much that could not let our application go. But a more realistic explanation is the expiry date of our permits. Our permits were expiring end of Jan 2015 and probably they could not let us go without ripping another $300 to renew our permits

No Zorroo, no news of Medical. Some people from beginning and middle of Sep are still waiting I guess. I don't know why they slowed down issuing medicals. But for sure, I will let you know as soon as I get it. Please do the same

cheers

Sure farahnz. I am optimistic that you will receive the golden email by end of this month

Cheers

HI everyone, I am just re-posting my question in order to get some ideas on this. I know that there are some experts in this forum, Could you please clarify this to me.

Thanks in advance!

Can anyone clarify this? Correct me please if i am wrong. I have received PER recently from CIO-Sydney. And now, The VISA office-Ottawa will evaluate my application again to ensure that i meet the minimum requirements, and other selection criteria such as work experience, bank statements, and other related documents. Does anyone know or aware of conflicts between CIO sydney and VISA Office Ottawa regarding the assigning the points for eligibility review.

Also would it be recommended to maintain the same or sufficient balance in your bank account, However there will be some fluctuations. who knows when they will ask you show the sufficient amount in your bank account. Any idea in this regard is much appreciated.

Thanks!

CPC-O will definitely reevaluate the applications. But that is out of your control. Take it easy.

For the proof of fund, any amount above the threshold should be ok. Small fluctuations are quite normal.

Sydney usually checks if your documents are complete or not. They do not go thorough the details. Only completeness of the documents is enough and they give you some primary points for those documents that you send them. However, I saw some cases recently who were rejected because of their supervisor's letter. It seems that they are going through more details recently.
Ottawa will go thorough your documents in detail. They check everything. The go thorough your work experience and letter from supervisor in details. I remember my GCMS notes was showing that my supervisor's letter was sent for eligibility analyst. They go thorough all the details, which Sydney did not pay attention at all.
For funds, my experience says if you submit it along with your application, they usually do not ask for it again. However, I saw some cases who were asked for proof of fund even after medical. So it is safe to have the sufficient amount in your account during the whole processing time.

To cut a long story short, it seems that, nowadays, if you are found eligible in Sydney, you are very close to PR. Most of people who got PER in Sydney, were found eligible in CPC-O as well and got MR.
However, it was not the same a year ago. My first application were passed to CPC-O in 2012 and got rejected there after a year.
