Not giving the adaptability points for two years of PhD is for applicants before May 5, 2013. Now, you can get those points for two years of PhD in Canada and you also have 4 years of undergraduate study in Canada. Either of them can give you 5 points.

Thanks for your reply. I hope so. I am planning to reapply since the period of two weeks has already gone. But, the problem is I am not sure if I get rejected for the same reason. Is the processing time for the second application as same as first one?

You can still appeal if it has been more than two weeks. But you need to give some reasons why you are late which I believe in your case shouldn't be hard.You can say they told me that they are going to do more investigation on my case. (This is just my oppinion).

Dani1982 appealed after 2 weeks and it was successful.

Hey folks,

Regarding schedule 3, I have had work experience in my home country from Sept 2008, to Sept 2011. In between this period, I also came to Canada to work twice, but I am not too sure how to break down those periods in Schedule 3, work experience.

Could you please help me!!!!!!

Hi friends,

Has any of you submitted an application without National Identity Document? I am preparing my application but as I am in Canada I cannot use my national ID from my home country for overseas purposes. Can you please tell me if they can still accept my application without national ID?

Thanks a lot,

I only included the birth certificates and did not include the national IDs. You can include the ID card of your province instead.

 

[pepe84]

Thanks a lot Parkinson. I do not have any provincial ID, only Driver License from Ontario, Should I include that license as a national ID? or should I just simply say that I do not have National ID in the application form?

Thanks a lot, please get me back as soon as you can,

Yeah. The driver's license is a national identification document. You can include that.

 

[pepe84]

Thanks a lot! I thought they were referring to National IDs from your home country. So it is a national ID even from Canada?

I appreciate your help Chakri264!

If you dont have a national ID from your home country, you could include the national identity document from Canada. I did give my Ontario driver's license info in my application.

 

[pepe84]

Great!!! Thanks a lot for your help. My last question please, my spouse does not have any national ID from Canada, should I click on NO for her in the application form?

Thanks again chakri264!

You could include the national identity document from Canada. I did my driver's license in my application.

Hi guys,

Just a quick update on my application... I landed on May 25, the process was really smooth, no proof of funds requested... The officers were really friendly and helpful.

Good luck to everyone waiting for the news from CIC! And do not forget to update the letter of reference.
