That is very fast, I remember that u had ur application returned before due to CAP limits, do u have any other earlier application attempts ?
BTW, make sure that ur final balance in the statement is more than or AT LEAST equal to the required amount, otherwise u will 100% get rejected, and also avoid large deposits. Regarding the funds, they don't consider any documents other than the documents that prove that u do have that amount of money NOW. This is very serious

what if you have the money in the last three months , but you didnt have enough in the first three months of the six month bank statement?

What I know is that ur account history before the date u applied is not important, if this is not the case, I mean if they asked for the statement 6-month after u apply, then u need to explain that

It actually was very fast and I did not expect them to contact me almost three weeks after I received my PER. I applied in December again after my application was returned due to the cap limit. Thanks for the info regarding the bank balance. I don't know what will happen re that, but the good news is that cic is processing applications very quickly so in the end our time is not wasted waiting.

There will be no 5 points for your PhD studies in Canada. Do not count on it at all.

So if I apply after graduation from phd, will I get the whole points for education and that 5 points for adaptability?

Are we eligible to apply after graduation? We are not PHD STUDENTS then, are we allowed to apply under PhD stream then?

Yes, for sure. Once you get your PhD, you can apply as a PhD graduate (note that you will need to submit different documentation as a proof), and you will get +5 points for the PhD degree if you don't have your MSc, and +5 for adaptability.

Yes, you can apply up to an year after graduating.

Ok, thanks. 3 other question::
1- In that case, after graduation,Will I still apply with my undergrad work experience?
2- My work experience is 9 months working full time at one place and 8 months at another place. is it acceptable as a year full time work experience?
3- do u think the federal governmen will still have this category (Phd stream) 3-4 years from now?

1. You can apply with whatever qualifying experience you have in the past 10 years, including your RA/TA during your PhD study.
2. You need at least one year of CONTINUOUS work experience in order to be eligible for FSW. If there's no gap between these two jobs, it should be fine.
3. Who knows?

2. Yeah, though there was a member at this forum who got rejected because her/his employment reference letter for TA/RA experience had small gaps (summer breaks). It also matters what was the nature of work at these two places---if the occupation was different, it would be difficult to stitch such two employment periods. To be on the safe side, it'd be better to accumulate one year of work experience at one place.

I received an email (PER) from CIC on June 21 2012 and they said: "your application has received a positive final determination of eligibility for processing on the basis of your enrollment in, or completion of, a PhD program as specified in the Instructions issued by the Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism and published in the Canada Gazette on November 5, 2011. Your application will be forwarded to a visa office for further processing."

I would be grateful if someone can reflect on my concern:
I can see in the excel file which is prepared by people in this forum regarding the applications status that some people who even sent their application in May 2012 (later than me) have been contacted by immigration office for good. My concern is that at what order CIC processes the application files. I am getting worried as I was supposed to be contacted by now .

Do not worry buddy. None of the March and 2nd half of Feb applicants have been contacted yet. It is unclear in what order they are working.

You should actually not expect any contact until Later June. Anything that happens before that is luck.

Do you mind providing your dates so that we can put it on the tracker as well?

Thanks.

Has any of you whom got rejected by Ottawa based on not giving 5 points of adaptability ( Even though Sydney gave you 5 points) appealed at all? or even tried to argue with them?
